As we age, our lives start to cement. As kids, we all started out malleable and goo-like, and we really could have been anything. Astronauts. Firefighters. Doctors. By the time we’re 30, we’re working in jobs we didn’t even know existed as children—systems analysts; deputy sales coordinators—and we now realise all the things we’ll never be. I’m never going to play the piano. I’m never going to be an athlete.

“The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.”
— The Portable Atheist by Christopher Hitchens

Java Jacket
This literal java jacket is made from the same recycled paper and serves the practical function of a typical java jacket, but it looks a bit more stylish.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone
