Heal before you marry. & most importantly; heal before you bring an innocent soul into the world.

The older you get the more aware you become of your nervous system & the less tolerance you’ll have for people who think always getting on your nerves is funny. They get entertained while your nervous system is rarely relaxed. Occasional teasing is fine & sometimes even necessary, but constant agitation signals something else. You don’t need frenemies.

The gap between knowing what to do & actually doing it has nothing to do motivation. It’s not even discipline. It’s about allowing yourself to suck at it first.

You cannot negotiate with this type of evil Like Nazism, it has to be defeated

"Everyone hates us for no reason."

All you need is one person who sees you & reminds you of how far you’ve come, even if you’re aware of it. As much as you can love yourself and be “independent”, being seen & validated by the people you love is unparalleled.

Neuroplasticity exists. If you don't like your life or career as an adult you can just learn new things. As long as you aren't an idiot and plan things long term, you can try your hand at pretty much anything that doesn't require the body of a teenager / early 20s athleticism.

Ego keeps you from growing. Being teachable is a skill in of itself.

Whatever you do in life, don’t ever date an avoidant. They’ll drain the life & the whimsy out of you & then blame you for it.

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

Iranians calling the US the "Epstein Regime" is fucking beautiful and should be adopted globally.

Accepting friction into your life and deciding to love work and responsibility instead of resenting it will save you

@hell_line0 ? They’re called deadbeats

Women who don’t want kids are labeled selfish. Men who abandon their kids are called complicated. The math is wild.

there is no hell hot enough

This stray cat checks this boy with his paw if he's trustable. When he feels safety, he lies on his lap. Every being has a degree of understanding of kindness.

Of course it's in the British museum

This older man came thru work today and ordered his wife a latte.. I asked him hot or iced, and he paused.. "give me both and I'll drink the one she doesn't want..." And that's on 43 years of marriage. Well played, Sir.

The older I get, the more I realize your standards decide your future. Every time you let something slide “just this once,” you train yourself to accept less. That’s how goals erode. That's how principles slip. Set your standards. Hold the line. Especially when it’s hard.
