Oh and to risk embarrassing myself for human connection is no true risk at all, because nobody whose opinion really matters would ever think less of another person for choosing the vulnerability of putting themself out there.
RCA asked me what my brand was the very first meeting we had. Wide eyed and broke at 23 I said “being a human being”. They looked at me like I just punted an infant and said nah lmao.
Sometimes chick-fila will play in your face and give you five big fries other times they’ll you give a medium filled to the brim with waffle shake - neither scenario is acceptable.
An affliction of the times: Rushing
What a bogus way to live. Rushing out of bed to the coffee machine to the desk. Rushing to finish one book so you can read another on your list. Rushing to finish the month so you can get to the holiday.
How aweful. Living for the peaks and ignoring everything inbetween. Slowwwwww down you baboon. Enjoy today. Enjoy now. Breeeathe you fool.
Enjoy the joe. Enjoy your dinner. Enjoy the security you have. Enjoy the round of golf youre playing. Enjoy the book youre into. Why does it always have to be next next next next. Chill out. Its right in front of you.
