The only trick of friendship is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you.

I think about how hayao miyazaki said that love is two people inspiring each other to live. and to live doesn’t just mean to be alive. living involves finding beauty in the simple moments of being. so to inspire someone to be in awe of the simplicity of living? that’s special

wip, our manifesto 2.0

[Joseph Fasano @Joseph_Fasano_]

Let's create a thread of lines of poetry that have changed our lives. Maybe this will be something people can carry around and scroll through to find what they need. 🖤

I'll start with Derek Walcott's final line from "Love After Love": "Sit. Feast on your life."

[James Clear @JamesClear]

When working with people, assume good intentions.

When listening to people, interpret their words in a generous way.

You will occasionally get burned and mistreated by always assuming the best in others, but it is a far better way to live than the opposite.

[Nix 🕊 @startingfromnix]

found the perfect articulation of why you should put your work into the world:

"The world changes according to
the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it."

Everything happens on a mental level before it manifests on the physical level. This is why it’s so important to get your mindset right. You have to believe in yourself no matter what the external circumstances are. Strengthen your vision and have hope that things can get better.
