a love letter to myself

2025

you are allowed to have a moment to think before you speak

terrifying sincerity will demand from you the kind of composure and character you are seeking

practice asking yourself questions and answer them without seeking references or resources or answers that others gave

the difference between ritual and routine is faith, and the kind of faith you need to give to your habits—what they each mean to you— is something to be curious, reflective, intentional about. you are afraid that habits will sap your life of meaning, so give them meaning of their own

Lila (divine play)

novelty & magic are rivers, not reservoirs

You are forever one decision away from an entirely different life.

Focusing on what’s rooted in reality has reduced so much of my overthinking time. If a friend is already out of my life, there’s no point dissecting our interactions from back when we were friends. If I already broke up w someone, there’s no point thinking about the could-have-beens because they will never happen. If I’m into someone but it wouldn’t work for whatever reason, then it just doesn’t. Something just is or just isn’t. There’s a lesson to take from everything but I also don’t want to use that as a catch-all excuse of getting into the weeds for something when the weeds have already been cut off and it doesn’t even matter anymore

I WISH IT HAD ALL BEEN DIFFERENT!!!!!
