@omgsidewalks Theyβll say anything so you wonβt slow down. Unproductive, unambitious, lazy, delusional, disrespectful. idgaf we should ALL stop to smell the flowers. We should all take the time to do it right. THEY said time is money. THEY decided that. Time is free. And good things take time
I think we, as a society, should get back to the activity of sitting down and listening to a record in the living room
Lights dimmed and candle on, drink of choice in hand, and one of your favorite albums playing is a great way to spend the night
Something else phones ruined
Ways to leave a legacy, without bringing children into the world:
- Make art
- Write books
- Mentor younger people
- Teach
- Bring new experiences and ideas into the collective conscience
- Invest in peopleβs dreams
- Be a healing/healed presence
- Pray for future generations
i just heard someone say, βmaybe you donβt need more time to heal, maybe you need more experiences that show your nervous system a different reality.β
and, yeah.
Everything already works, itβs just loud now.
Faster phones didnβt make us calmer, smarter apps didnβt make us wiser, more connection didnβt make us closer.
Every βadvanceβ feels like another way to extract attention, flatten taste, shorten patience.
I donβt want a smarter fridge, I want longer dinners.
I donβt want better algorithms, I want fewer thoughts hijacked before breakfast.
Progress used to mean relief.
Now it means surveillance, speed, and burnout wrapped in a clean UI.
Iβm not anti future.
Iβm pro stopping.
Let things breathe.
Let humans catch up to what we already built.
girls will survive abuse, heartbreak, grief, and unspeakable tragedies and still move through the world with kindness and compassion, but one minor inconvenience in a manβs childhood and he spends the rest of his life terrorizing and poisoning everyone around him
Id a las peluquerΓas de barrio. Haced vida de barrio. Hablad con vuestros mayores. Haced comunidad. Comprad a Paco el frutero o a Manolo el panadero, es la ΓΊnica forma de sobrevivir a la gentrificaciΓ³n.
please read ... books, poetry ... please think & reflect ... know your history ... it matters much more than this screen-addled, instant gratification, sound-bite, consumer based irreality tries to tell you
