I write novels and poems. I love playing with words. I love walking and swimming laps. Exercise is important to me. I find inspiration everywhere

❛ And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.

"The poet sees for a certainty how one not a great artist may be just as sacred and perfect as the greatest artist. . . . The power to destroy or remould is freely used by him but never the power of attack. . . . The presence of the greatest poet conquers." —Walt Whitman

Major cheat code in life: Understanding you can reinvent yourself at any time. New habits, new standards, new friend group, new career, etc. There's no rule that says you have to stay the person you've always been. You're allowed to decide... "I'm done being this version of me."

El verdadero anti-envejecimiento no es verte de 25 para siempre. Es llegar a los 80 años con brillo en los ojos, fuerza en las piernas y planes en el calendario. No hay crema que construya eso. Se construye entrenando fuerza 3 veces por semana, caminando al menos 20 minutos al día, comiendo proteína en cada comida, priorizando 7-9 horas de sueño y pasando más tiempo con la gente que quieres.

Creativity is necessary for your health. Channeling it and using it moves your life force energy so it doesn’t get stagnant. It also allows you to have sexual discipline by alchemizing it. Write, paint, have manual hobbies, build something… Integrate it into your everyday life
