I Know This Much is True
Philosophical breadcrumbs for my children about what is important in life.
Life is confusing, heartbreaking, and beautiful.
My job as your parent is to give you unconditional love. And boundaries.
You will make your own choices, but these are breadcrumbs to help guide your way. For what it’s worth, this is what I think is important.
Always be honest with yourself
It’s going to happen that you won’t always tell the truth. Sometimes it is to be kind or protect someone. Use your good judgment about whether it is okay or not.
But always be honest with yourself.
Reading is your portal through time
Always keep learning. Everything is interesting when you try to understand it. How planes fly; how organs in your body work; the literary masterpieces that have been made for you to enjoy
Reading is the great time machine connecting your portal of reality to every other human in history.
Never stop learning. Always keep reading.
