— Søren Kierkegaard, Diapsalmata
Danish writer Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) walked the quiet streets of Copenhagen, wrestling with God and self, seeking truth in solitude. The father of existentialism, he believed in the sacred responsibility of the individual soul.
He wrote urgently and intimately, filling journals with confessions and questions—conversations with God and deep dives into the ache of being alive. His words were not answers but invitations: to think, to feel, to become.
In one quiet entry, he whispered what still feels essential: “Don’t forget to love yourself.”
Kierkegaard’s philosophy of passionate possibility inspired generations of thinkers, including Sartre and Camus. Yet at its core, his work was a sacred mirror—reflecting faith, doubt, and the courage to live truthfully.
“As you think, you travel,” wrote James Lane Allen, “and as you love, you attract.” Each thought is a tidepool—shallow or deep—mirroring who we are becoming.
See what’s possible. Helen Keller called life a daring adventure. Søren called it a becoming. You are invited to both.
