> smile with your teeth. People like this.

violently underrated life hack to having a beautiful smile:

find a really good coach who's suited to you to do deep shadow work with to move through your 10-15yrs+ of unexpressed grief and resentment, such that you're not only smiling with your teeth or your eyes or your face but also from your heart and your entire body... to get back in touch with the childlike joy we all once had but learned to shove down really deep under all the painful emotions that felt incomprehensibly overwhelming at the time but no longer serves you to hide from...

and/or just like think of kittens when posing for a pic

More easy fixes to make yourself hotter:

- get some sun (you’re not ugly you’re just pale)

- whiten your teeth

- give your eyebrows some love (very important feature in shaping your face - make sure they have decent shape and a tint)

- stick to a simple skincare routine (doesn’t need to be complicated but commit to it)

- stick to a simple workout routine (the best workout is one you’ll do. Just do something. Move your body every day but aim for working out / building muscle / increasing cardio at least 3-4x a week)

- stick to a simple diet (don’t care what it is. If you can’t pronounce the ingredient probably shouldn’t be eating it. 80/20 rule. Eat slow. Chew your food. Enjoy your meals.)

- get a decent haircut (figure out what looks best on your face. Your natural hair color is probably best suited for you)

- smile with your teeth. People like this.

- walk like you own the place (stand up straight good posture shoulders back)

- prioritize sleep

- upgrade your wardrobe (a few key pieces that you love and look great on you will do wonders for your confidence which will in turn make you hotter)

- talk slower. Enunciate your words.

@korindiehacker oh yeah... i wrote this specifically for you

[kyle @kylejunlong]

reasons to write / start a blog:
- to make friends on the internet
- to articulate your cloudy thoughts
- to humble yourself upon realizing those cloudy thoughts aren't as coherent as they initially seemed
- because nobody will read it so you get to keep a digital journal documenting various stages of your life
- so some people will read it and fulfill your lifelong ambition of becoming a niche internet microinfluencer
- to regurgitate all the wisdom of the people you admire, but in your own slightly-worse-but-unique flavor and thus master the craft of "stealing like an artist"
- for more digital dopamine!
- because you went down a rabbit-hole of reading articles and essays titled "why you should start a blog right now," "why everyone should start a blog," "why you should write," etc etc etc, and they seemed convincing
- because you've been telling yourself you're going to start writing seriously for the past ~4-6 years and still haven't really published much anything of substance, and time is finite, and not to be dramatic but you're going to die so might as well give it a shot
- because you're lonely, bored, and have nothing better to do
- why not?

@marygaitspill 😭

[kyle @kylejunlong]

@m_ashcroft cool! DM me if you want feedback and/or encouragement?

[kyle @kylejunlong]

also:
- because you've never had an original thought, nor an original experience, but you do carry a particular constellation of thoughts and experiences that have never before been combined in that specific way and therefore your worldview is perhaps worth inhabiting for some particular individual(s) who feel similarly out-of-place in the world, and in that sense it's almost a duty to share your consciousness in case something you write resonates in just the right way with just the right person such that it's what they needed to become the exact version of themself that otherwise felt totally inaccessible or inappropriate given their life context (but not "duty" in a moralizing way in which you are Bad if you don't do it but like it would indeed be objectively Better for the world if you did... or at least put some form of art/expression out in whatever form or medium most resonates with your soul...)

[kyle @kylejunlong]

reasons against starting a blog:
- it seems like a lot of work

[kyle @kylejunlong]

in my experience "that which is true" feels more true than anything else by at least ~1 order of magnitude

[kyle @kylejunlong]

@m_ashcroft hmm i feel oppositely; curious if you can say more

[kyle @kylejunlong]

@sahra_bn @dererererek4 bullish on why/closed-ended questions and interrupting and being partial and judgmental for the aoa homies
