My spouse saying to the four year old about his brother, "He is telling you about it because he's excited, not because he thinks you don't know." And that, my friends, is also a lesson I need to hear.
when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live...recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it...... that's the real shit
there’s something so wholesome about people sharing lil updates of their life on the internet like I saw a butterfly, hugged a tree, went on a walk or ate my favourite food
this is why people hit a certain age and start joining running clubs, training for marathons, taking a cooking course etc btw. we all just wanna feel alive!!!
THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS LET THIS WORLD STEAL YOUR WHIMSY. PROTECT YOUR WHIMSY AT ALL COST. DON’T LET THESE JOYLESS MOTHERFUCKERS STEAL YOUR MAGIC.
In any environment we will either find inspiration or hindrance. Try and put effort towards seeing possibilities in most any environment. At the very least it will limit the hindrance that is many times self imposed.
Strive to have the courage to identify when opportunities arrive, the strength to muster effort to optimize them and the vulnerability to pivot towards what life deals you next. Attempt this all with kindness and empathy. Aspire to repeat this cycle for the duration of existence.
