Shame derives its power from being unspeakable.

Perfection is crucial in building an aircraft, a bridge, or a high-speed train. The code and mathematics residing just below the surface of the Internet is also this way. Things are either perfectly right or they will not work. So much of the world we work and live in is based upon being correct, being perfect.

When we lose our tolerance for vulnerability, joy becomes foreboding.

I think a lot of us are looking for the same thing.

First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see.

Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites.

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.
