I’ve cut a lot of friends off for what they’ve said about me behind my back and they were honestly shocked I wasn’t willing to sit down with them about it….
Even though they didn’t sit down with me.. about what they’ve initially said lol. I think the ghosting gags them the most
Full grown adults who can’t vacation, take a gap year, have hobbies, play an instrument, speak multiple languages, swim, cycle, skate, or backpack. Just a lifetime of hustling and trying to escape survival mode. These are subtle poverty metrics no one really talks about.
the meanest thing you do to yourself is pretend you don’t want the things you want. shrink the desire before anyone can see it. call it unrealistic before someone else does. and then walk around with this low grade starvation you can’t name because you buried the appetite so deep even you forgot where you put it. wanting things is dangerous. I know. it opens you up to disappointment and to looking foolish and to reaching for something that might not reach back. want it anyway. the alternative is a life of pretending you’re full.
recently it’s been hitting me hard how aggressively attentive & pursuitful u gotta be to your life preferences. otherwise years can just slip by unnoticed
Everybody needs to get a fucking grip like we’re not helpless, we have brains, we can still think and act. Read some books, go volunteer, talk to those around you, help someone with a simple task, go for a walk, get energized, get up!
