Whether it’s our routines or our relationships, it’s our responsibility to actively and continuously make them the way we want them to be.
The Miracle Morning // Hal Elrod
SOL: Isolation
starved for touch, skin taut,
begging to be held… how long
have you spent alone?
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 200.”
SOL: Narrative
“No one will ever
love you like I do.” I said,
“Is that a promise?”
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 199.”
MIND: Écrivain
That’s why I write, because life never works except in retrospect.
You can’t control life, at least you can control your version.
Stranger Than Fiction // Chuck Palahniuk

He said, “Look at what
you’re giving up, blinded by
dreams of what might change.”
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 198.”

Scientific studies suggest that only about 25 percent of how long we live is dictated by genes, according to famous studies of Danish twins. The other 75 percent is determined by our lifestyles and the everyday choices we make.
The Blue Zones // Dan Buettner
SOL: Encumbered
All the baggage I
carry. All the ways I wish
I could put it down.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 197.”
MIND: Intentional
To the European, it is a characteristic of the American culture that, again and again, one is commanded and ordered to “be happy.” But happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason to “be happy.”
Once the reason is found, however, one becomes happy automatically. As we see, a human being is not one in pursuit of happiness but rather in search of a reason to become happy, last but not least, through actualizing the potential meaning inherent and dormant in a given situation.
Man’s Search for Meaning // Viktor E. Frankl
SOL: Tidal
On nights like this I
sit and let the sadness flow
through me like a wave.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 196.”
SOL: Inhibited
consumed by thoughts of
you; appetite reaching a
crescendo in sheets.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 195.”
