I’m very adamant about not having people around who repeatedly disrupt my nervous system through their lack of care, empathy, and consideration. Get away from me.
I know, with increasing precision, what I want my life to contain. Meaningful work. Financial ease. A home that feels expansive and alive. Books everywhere. A table with people around it. Work that travels further than I do. Time to think. Time to write.
One of my favorite phrases is “I’m not a police officer” bc I really never care too much about what folks do with their lives as long as it has nothing to do with me lmao. Live your life, word to Rihanna!
