love, to me, is cherishing someone as they are and being excited to experience them as they continue to become.

I found out this week Temu and Shein have both just straight out stolen my design. Support artists. Do not shop on these websites. I have been devastated last week that they have sold so many copies of my design whilst I work hard in my small business for every sale.

Physical touch heals the nervous system.

It strengthens the immune system.

We’re meant to touch and be touched on regular basis. And not just in an attempt to have sexual intimacy.

A cheat code I wish I knew at 18...

The 4 Types of Luck:

In 1978, a neurologist named Dr. James Austin published a book entitled Chase, Chance, & Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.

In it, he proposed that there are 4 types of luck:

(1) Blind Luck
(2) Luck from Motion
(3) Luck from Awareness
(4) Luck from Uniqueness

Here's what they are:

Type 1: Blind Luck

Completely out of your control:

• Where you are born
• Who you are born to
• Base circumstances of your life
• "Acts of God"

These are the truly random occurrences of the universe.

Type 2: Luck from Motion

You’re creating motion and collisions through hustle and energy that you are inserting into an ecosystem.

You increase your luck surface area through simple movement.

The increase in collisions opens you up to more lucky events.

Type 3: Luck from Awareness

Depth of understanding within a given arena allows you to become very good at positioning yourself for lucky breaks.

Naval says: "You become very good at spotting luck."

You can “spot luck” from a mile away because of your knowledge and experience.

Type 4: Luck from Uniqueness

Your unique set of attributes attracts specific luck to you.

“[This type] favors those with distinctive, if not eccentric hobbies, personal lifestyles, and motor behaviors.” - Dr. James Austin

Type 4 Luck actually seeks you out.

The Stages of Luck

I personally think of Types 1-3 as coming in stages as you grow up:

• Type 1 dictates your early years
• Type 2 as you hustle in your 20
• Type 3 as you gain experience in your 30s+

Type 4 is unique—it’s dislocated from age.

Always remember the Luck Razor:

When choosing between two paths, choose the path that has a larger LUCK SURFACE AREA.

Your actions put you in a position where luck is more likely to strike.

It’s hard to get lucky watching TV at home—it’s easy to get lucky when you’re engaging and learning.

There are lots of simple ways to increase your luck surface area:

• Talk to more new people
• Send more cold emails
• Write/share in public
• Participate in digital communities
• Spend time in rooms where you feel like the dumb one

To recap the 4 types of luck:

• Type 1: Blind Luck
• Type 2: Luck from Motion
• Type 3: Luck from Awareness
• Type 4: Luck from Uniqueness

allow yourself time to daydream relentlessly, recklessly, about your stories. let your characters grow gardens and burn down worlds and be monstrous or beautiful or both. tell as many stories as you want. be lawless. no one can stop you.

[nina @ninagrewrites]

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

Books can simply be for entertainment. They don’t need to always have the best writing, in-depth character development, or expansive worlds. It’s okay to like a book for the vibes and escapism.

date someone who is interested in you. i don't mean someone who thinks you're cute or funny. i mean someone who wants to know every insignificant detail about you. someone who wants to read every word you write. someone who wants to hear every note of your favourite song or watch
