There are too many emails. Too many texts. Too many accounts. Too many logins. Too many apps. Too many rewards programs. Too many fundraisers. Too many appointments. Too many virtual meetings. Too many newsletters. Too many forms. Too many social media platforms. My brain hurts.
My GOD I love this so much.

If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realise that everything always works out. Everything always takes you to a greater destination. You always grow, and the things you think you can't survive, you somehow divinely make it through. That's life. Remember that.
Having a job/career where you talk and communicate nonstop with humans, people truly have to understand that sometimes you just wanna be quiet outside of working.
Shonda Rhimes was so right. “Doing the thing undoes the fear.” Once you do it, its not as scary as you thought. Or maybe it was, and you made it out alive. But the key is just doing the thing.
