fuck the rat race. i want my own veggie garden. i want a regulated nervous system. i want slow mornings and cups of tea. i want a job that doesn’t give me anxiety. i want a small circle of a friends and home-cooked meals. i want to read books and sit in the sun. i want a soft,

when you're impatient with results, every day feels expensive. when you're impatient with effort, every day feels like progress.

life hack: stop trying to be cool. be nerdy and obsessive about the things you love. enthusiasm will get you farther than indifference.

this is the greatest piece of advice I’ve ever heard to keep working despite the hard nature of progress.

i love how happy i feel after being around the right friends, there's something so genuinely endearing about platonic love that nurtures my heart.

it really is THAT deep. who you date, who you call a friend, what you watch, what you eat, where you work, what you speak over yourself... all of it matters. energy is real. what you allow in your space, in your mind, and in your body.

SCHEDULES, ROUTINES, OBEDIENCE, BOUNDARIES! these are the adult cheat codes to life. you can't just "wing it" every day and expect peace or progress. plan your week out, you know your work schedule, you know your obligations, you know what you need to do for YOU (study, gym,
