I want you to be delusionally optimistic about your life. Gaslight yourself into thinking you're smart enough to figure something out. You will. Eventually, you'll figure it out.
Your potential should fucking terrify you. Not because it's out of reach. But because it's there for the taking. You've seen glimpses. In the rare moments you actually go all in. And deep down, you know what would happen if you stopped playing small and gave it everything. That's the scary part. Not failure. But the fact that you're capable of so much more. It's like owning a Ferrari and refusing to take it out of first gear. And every day you don't act on it, you feel it. Quietly. Heavily. Like a life you were supposed to live is waiting for you to show up. So show the fuck up.
People argue over who the villain is and completely miss the point. The real tragedy is that every attempt to force love destroys the very thing that makes love meaningful: choice.
stop letting your potential go to waste because you don't feel confident or ready enough. people with half your talent are making serious waves while you're still waiting to feel ready.
Mayor Mamdani at the Knicks Ceremony: “We as the city are often forced to come together in the moments in tragedy, what a blessing it is to come together in a moment of joy.”
Made me cry, because it’s true.
