a few years ago I found out my grandpa has stacks of printed books of our ancestral lineage going back 2000 years. The oldest ancestor we know of was sima qian, a court scribe shaman historian writer dude who was obsessed with documenting people. He was the first to document Lao Tzu in his magnum opus, the Shiji. My grandpa has also kept journals his entire life, was persecuted by the communists for doing so as a young man, but continued writing well into his 70s. I can’t tell you how earth shattering it was to find this all out, at a pivotal point for me as I was starting to make documentaries; even thinking about it now makes me want to cry. So many questions of who we are are answered in the lives of our ancestors

false binary

I want young women to know that worry is a waste of your precious psychic energy. no one cares so you should go have as much fun as you can, in your hyper-unique and specific way. A lot can happen with fun as your north star
