I think one of the most meaningful things you can do with your life is become somebody who would make your younger self feel safe. Safe to tell the truth. Safe to make mistakes. Safe to be fully human without wondering if one wrong move will change how deeply you're loved.
The older I get the more I understand why people say, “When you love your life, you can’t be around people who hate theirs because they’re always either complaining or comparing.”
People need to understand this: these billionaire tech bros teach their children Montessori and Waldorf methods which focuses on teaching kids the ability to focus for long periods, think critically, and be creative, while they push attention-destroying short form videos and AI onto the masses and pretend it’s for the good of humanity.
They understand that your ability to focus and be creative is the main factor of success in the future, yet design apps that degrade those crucial life skills. The average person must be aware of this and resist this at all costs.
The version of you from two years ago couldn’t have handled what you’re about to receive. That’s why life had to build you before it could bless you. You weren’t being delayed. You were becoming the person capable of carrying what’s next.
Sensitivity is not fragility. What high sensitivity means is depth of perception. It’s the ability to perceive more.
Perception, interpretation and emotional response are all different mechanisms. To understand how our sensitivity works we have learn how each is unique.
Underrated life skill: Knowing when to leave. The party. The job. The argument. The relationship. Most people stay too long at everything because leaving feels like quitting. It's not. It's editing.
You gotta kill that fear of being seen because visibility is your birthright, people need to know you. In fact, think of showing up as putting out little signals that help your people find you. You’re not showing up for everybody, you’re showing up for your people.
Learn to have a loose grip on the world, on people, on possessions. Everything is temporary. And maybe that’s exactly what makes being here so precious. Hold gratitude tightly, but everything else gently. Enjoy the chapter without demanding that it become the entire book.
There are versions of your life you can’t imagine yet because you haven’t met the people, learned the lessons, or survived the days that will make them possible. Leave room for what you can’t see.
I don’t want a different job. I don’t want a better position or a new career path. I want out. Out of the endless grind, the constant pressure, the productivity treadmill, and this entire system that expects us to work until we’re too exhausted to live.
It's really too bad because we could have built a world where we work a little bit but mostly just hang out and have a good time but instead we got this shithole
You'll regret it if you get married, you'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids, and you'll regret it if you don't. People always find an untravelled path alluring and mysterious. Choose the sacrifices that feel worth making and don't look back.
I love when women pivot. I love when they recognize it's time for a fresh start, a different path, a new beginning, and trust their inner wisdom to guide them through it.
I hate work.
Like, I HATE work.
Not necessarily my job. I hate the whole fking system of waking up at the same time, driving to the same place, doing the same shit for five days straight just to earn two days of “freedom” that I’m too exhausted to actually enjoy.
Saturday is spent recovering.
Sunday is spent thinking about Monday.
Then Monday comes, and we do the whole damn thing AGAIN.
I’m not lazy. I work. I show up. I handle my sh*t.
I just refuse to believe we were put on this earth to spend most of our lives waiting for the weekend.
You HAVE to enjoy life after you get off work or you gone feel like you slaving away. Like PLEASE go have drinks on a random Wednesday. YES do that beach picnic too. That’s right, go practice pottery on a Tuesday evening. That go to work, go home, go to work, go home shit is 0/10
things to stop keeping in your house if your gut is struggling: seed oils (canola, vegetable, soybean), processed snacks with long ingredient lists, sugary drinks including most juices, artificial sweeteners, and anything that makes you feel out of control around food or portion control.
