My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.
Reminds me of that person on TikTok who talked about how many doors opened for her because she knew the basics of watches, and doors opened for her because she was able to have conversations that then led to those people helping her to connect with who she needed to.
The older i get, the more i realize that someone making time for you is one of the clearest signs they care. Everyone is busy. Everyone has responsibilities and their own battles to fight. So when someone consistently chooses to spend their time with you, checks on you, and makes space for you in their life, it means something. time is one thing we can never get back, and people don't give it away lightly.
there is something deeply unsettling about a person who already knows what they need to do but keeps choosing not to. not because they are lazy. not because they don’t care. but because comfort has gotten so familiar to them that it started feeling like home or a place they feel like they belong and that’s the most dangerous place to live.
you already know what to do, you’re just negotiating with comfort. you read the quotes. you watched the videos. you said “this week is different” more times than you can count. and yet here you are. same place. same excuses. same comfort zone. here’s the dangerous part about comfort nobody really talks about. it doesn’t ruin your life in obvious ways. it’s subtle. it shows up as “i’ll start tomorrow”. “just one more day”. “i’m tired today”. i deserve a break”. and little by little you slowly become okay with staying the same. and the worst part? It’s not even lying. you do deserve rest. but there’s a difference between rest and hiding. and deep down, you already know which one you’ve been doing.
there are versions of you that’s capable of far more then you can imagine and they aren’t waiting for the right moment, they’re waiting for you to stop negotiating with fear. the only difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do. so do it tired. do it scared. do it when it’s inconvenient. do the thing you fear cause “what you are afraid to do is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do”. and all that kind of courage you just show will give you something you cannot fake. a quiet confidence. a stillness. the kind that comes from knowing you didn’t negotiate when it got hard.
so just get out of your comfort zone and do it, do it slow, do it tired, and it doesn’t even matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop everything will workout. just start moving and remember your life will begin at the end of your comfort zone.
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
