Beautiful Losers

July 2

When you look past all the empty bottles, all the rolled up dollar bills, push notifications, and syringes, all the compliments, high-fructose corn sugar beverages, and an infinite stack of 30 second vertical videos, all the cans of beer in all the recycling bins on all the streets, almost forgotten on a Thursday morning, all the piles of ash and spent lighters you can’t quite get to flick one last time, all the dogma and the reading lists and the never ending live streams, all the dating apps and first dates and plane tickets and long, drawn out nights slamming your fist on the spin button of the slot machine—

Are we all just addicts of lives we hate? Running back the tape on days we didn’t choose?

Is there somewhere we could stand to get anything close to perspective—a look at it all—losers all, yes, but beautiful?

Morning Reading is a daily email to help center yourself, reflect, and prepare for the day. It’s sent with love from your friend, Zach in Austin, Texas. He even drew the logo himself.
