Actually the coolest thing about reading, especially increasingly ancient works, is how little the human condition has changed. How remarkably similar we are to those who came before us despite the world around us changing so significantly
It’s time to lock in this winter. Gym twice a week for 45 min. Sleep until 10am out of bed at noon. Put off your laundry as long as humanly possible. Drink every day
