The secret to not being awkward is to never force conversation. Don’t try to come up with interesting things to say, don’t talk to people for the sake of talking, don’t voice opinions or ask questions to sound smart. Instead, notice your own curiosity and follow it. If you don’t have any, radiate comfort in your silence.
the interesting thing is that Mary whose sister is jane heightens all your senses, including taste. so if the food is bad, you'll really hate it but if it's good, you'll savor it. you can literally taste everything in it, and your brain will register all flavour profiles. this is all according to my friend ofc
You scroll for hours because your mind wants to experience something real. Dead pixels don’t have life. Only silence can give you that. Listening to your breath, the life within you can give that. Spending time outside with nature and real people can give you that.
Perhaps this year isn't about becoming anything at all. Maybe instead, it's about slowly unbecoming all the things which no longer align with you, and finding peace in the quiet return to your authentic self.
