Being mean is bad for your health.
A single hostile interaction:
+ locks you in a cortisol penalty box for 60-90 min
+ suppresses recovery capacity
+ elevates your heart rate
Kindness conserves your energy resources.

Underrated life skill: Letting today be today. Stop dragging yesterday into it and stop borrowing stress from tomorrow. Handle what's in front of you. You'll be surprised how much lighter life feels when you carry one day at a time.
get in girl, we’re lengthening our attention spans by reading thick, long books, watching an entire movie without checking our phones, meditating, listening to classical music without doing anything else or while taking a long, warm bath, not using our phones 1-2 hours a day
turns out, reading a lot, exercising, loving people without expecting anything back, protecting your alone time, focusing only on improving yourself, and sometimes staying out late with friends who make you laugh until it hurts is a pretty good way to live.
We need to bring back intellectual elitism. Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
Girl, be too much.
BE EXTRA. LIVE LARGE. SMILE BIG. LAUGH HARD. CELEBRATE YOUR DAMN SELF. OPEN YOUR HEART. EXPRESS YOUR EMOTIONS. USE YOUR WORDS. GIGGLE. DANCE. SOAK IN THE SUN.
SPLASH IN THE WAVES. BREATH DEEP AND LOVE YOUR DAMN LIFE. YOU ONLY GET ONE.
John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
A relationship is meant to make you happier, not happy. To add value to your life, not save you from your life. To add ease to your path, not burden your path. No one is coming to save you. But I do hope you choose the one who believes in you when you struggle to believe in yourself.
Oh and to risk embarrassing myself for human connection is no true risk at all, because nobody whose opinion really matters would ever think less of another person for choosing the vulnerability of putting themself out there.
turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
Your heart is not a state secret. You are meant to declare allegiances. You are meant to have favourites. Write the letter. Miss the train. Stay up until dawn talking. You should be caught red-handed loving something, someone.
