there are centuries of women before me have yearned to taste the freedom i get to experience nowadays by being able to say no to marriage/children and choose my own path with full agency, and i will never take that for granted. they live through me...
i LOVE when people are so good at what they do and theyโre just as invested to explain to you how things work ! i love passion !!!!! this is Life !!!! this is what youโre made to dooooooo !!!!
๐ฎ๐ช Irish singer Enya (65) has never married or had children. Instead, she chose to buy a castle back in 1997 and has lived there ever since with her cats.
I am impressed by this. Not by their climbing or bypassing security. But to be such a specific kind of crazy, that requires not just bravado but also great skill, and to find someone exactly as crazy, as skilful, as willing, who even happens to look like you and to have them be in love with you... few people will ever be so lucky, few people will ever live life so fully. To be lucky to find this, you don't need to live 80 or 90 years. They have already lived a hundred lives.
They don't want people to figure out that if they just get off their arse they can fix their own community in 2 weeks. They want you to keep paying them taxes so they can fix your community for you. In 3 years. Maybe. Probably not.
Love this for her.
I remember watching her Netflix documentary and being struck by how little resentment or bitterness she felt towards those who had most egregiously wronged and abused her.
So many people treated her so cruelly, yet it did not turn her cruel in turn. Itโs genuinely lovely to see these beautiful photos where she looks so at peace.
Curry Barkerโs advice for studios trying to cater to Gen Z:
โI wish they understood that weโre tired of slop. We want good movies back. People are still hungry for movies that are original without some big IP, as long as the story is good.โ
Going to leave you with this tonight:
The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more, go to new cates, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.
