one of the most life changing truths i’ve heard of is my mentor explaining to me that the vagina isn’t a hole when we were discussing french feminism

"What happens to the self when surgery is embraced for the purpose of political conformity, consciously or otherwise? At its most extreme, the result might look something like a steady stream of fembots, indistinguishable and dulled. But the urge to do Mar-a-Lago face also feels familiar to any woman."

We have won the impossible, improbable lottery of birth. And we don't know what will happen. We never can. There's no skill in birth and death. At the beginning and at the end, luck reigns unchallenged. Here's the truth: most of the world is noise, and we spend most of our lives trying to make sense of it. We are, in the end, nothing more than interpreters of static. We can never see beyond the present moment. We don't know what the next card will be and we don't even know when we see it if it's good or bad. […] You can't control what will happen, so it makes no sense to try to guess at it. Chance is just chance: it is neither good nor bad nor personal. With out us to supply meaning, its simple noise. The most we can do is learn to control what we can our thinking, our decision processes, our reactions. “Some things are in our control and others not,” writes the Stoic philosopher Epictetus in The Enchiridion. "Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.” If we cannot do it ourselves, we cannot control it. We control how we play the hand, how we react to its outcome, but that outcome itself - that, we don't control.
