In 2021 I came out as nonbinary.

2 years ago my partner at the time had started using she/they pronouns. I didn't really get it at first.

It turns out I also use they/them.

Here's how I figured out I was nonbinary 🧵👇

@ebbandflowph Yeah! 😄

Are you a POC looking to get into product design?

Are you a current POC product designer and want to level up by working with other POCs?

Well, I have the program for you! 👇

Tough time focusing on one task?

Isolate the window and clear out anything that's overstimulating you.

Trust me, it works✌️

A year ago I asked myself,

Why write when everything has already been said?

I grappled with this question and discovered

5 of the best reasons to write anyway:

Let’s be attracted to people who give us energy and attention, not those who are “too busy” to notice us.

I know it's cheesy but I'm thankful for the friends I've made and the family I got to be with.

After seeing my Grandma who has pretty advanced dementia today it helped to put things into perspective.

We only have now. Cherish it.

Happy Thanksgiving ❤️

WAP is the only song to my knowledge that contains the word Gobble and thus should be the official song of Thanksgiving

@TrevorLongino Great thread! I'm 25 but I'm starting to feel these already. I'd add invest today even if it's a little bit. Things grow over time exponentially. Also if you wanna do something just do it! It's okay to try and move on. Nothing is a waste of time as long as your learn from it

19. Get back up

When you fail big it hurts.

People saw you screw up. You don't even want to see another person, you're so mortified.

But they'll forget about you in a few weeks. Their own problems matter more to them than yours.

So get back up & try again.

[Trevor Longino @TrevorLongino]

18. Show up often

Doing something for 1 month is probably not gonna change your life. Doing it for 5 years just might.

A lot of success as a business or a person comes from being known for doing a particular thing consistently and well.

Show up. Often. And win by enduring.

[Trevor Longino @TrevorLongino]

14. Say thanks.

I employ 6 people these days. I make time every week to call out work everyone did and say
"thanks" for it.

I thank my kids for bringing me a cup of water, my wife for every meal, and so on.

Just because it's *expected* doesn't mean you can't be thankful.

[Trevor Longino @TrevorLongino]

10. Anger costs too much

Almost every serious mistake I've made over the last 2 decades can be tied to me losing my temper.

If I'd kept my cool, I could have made better choices, even if it takes a decade to realize that.

Anger is expensive. Don't pay that unless you must.
