Your job is important but, so are your workouts, your lunch breaks, vacation days, hobbies, the people waiting for you when you get home.
Works pays for your life. It isn't supposed to replace it.
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.
I read it somewhere โwe romanticised the wrong organ, the stomach is more emotional than the heartโ and it feels so true. we feel butterflies in our stomach and when weโre sad we lose our appetite. our stomach gets affected by emotions way more than we realise.
I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to experience life with you. "Taste this. Look at that. Hear this song." Over and over. Until you can't imagine experiencing life without them.
This paragraph by Haruki Murakami hits hard:
โOnce the storm is over, you wonโt remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You wonโt even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you wonโt be the same person who walked in. Thatโs what this stormโs all about.โ
REMOTE JOBS FOR INTROVERTS (ALMOST NO CALLS OR MEETINGS).
YOU CAN WORK AT NIGHT, FROM HOME, AFTER YOUR 9-TO-5 JOB, AND STILL GET PAID IN USD.
THREAD OPEN:
Date ppl who are gentle with you bc love is ethical before it is emotional. That part gets skipped a lot. Attraction & chemistry can be loud but even trauma has chemistry too.
