Nobody prepares you for the fact that you will go through some of the most heart shattering experiences of your life and are still expected to show up for work. Take care of yourself. Pay your bills. Meet your goals. Just carry on… it’s awful
If you suffer from rumination or can’t get over regrets I think your worst sin might be pride because to be stuck in regret is to think that you had full control over that past situation instead of thinking maybe you were never as powerful or intelligent or wise as you believed
There is a difference between asking for help because you have no other choice and asking for help because you seek the easy way out.
Sure, nothing wrong with needing help.
But it has to be a last resort not an automatic reflex.
Figure it out on your own until you can’t.
Please keep going. This is what devotion looks like. Nothing is wasted. Your body already agreed to this life. You are working. You are not late. This is the cost and this is the gift. This is enough. Your becoming is already happening. Keep going.
adopting a "do it right now" mentality has done wonders for my organization & discipline. something on the floor? grab it right now. thinking about cooking later? cook right now. laundry finished? put them up right now. home from a trip? unpack right then. it's the small things.
This generation has a serious shortage of normal people. Common sense, shame, respect, responsibility, humility… and don’t even get me started on integrity. The basics are extinct.
dating someone who knows you're a work in progress, but still adores you for the absolute fucking masterpiece that you already are is extremely important
Someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about doing something & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their "Inner Applause" because their body is cheering them on, and I think that's the cutest narrative adjustment ever 🥹
