big or small, you overcame something YOU found hard and that’s what matters! Sorry to go Life Coach Mode!
mine is: I had to leave New York, get sober, spend 6 years fighting the demons and now can return and make happier memories with new friends.

losing is all part of life, you can’t get anywhere or gain anything by being stationary. failure is a beautiful part of the journey of becoming yourself :)

I've been in one of those rare seasons where you can actually see how the difficulty of it is forming you in deep, character-building ways
yeah, it's been confusing and miserable at times, but—wow—what a time of preparation and resetting and reorienting
hard things don't always lead to growth, but I've found that striving for a posture of humility, curiosity, and love amidst the trials makes those seasons more likely to bear fruit

have so much to say about this; for brevity-sake, ill say that every challenge and pleasure you experience is meant to be observed, sometimes examined, to check-in about how you’re evolving in the process of being your best self.
success is ambiguous and subjective, it’s whatever it means to you, but for me it’s to be fully myself, take care and have a nice time.
when a shit thing happens or i don’t get my way i’ve come to see it as a blessing and purposeful, and i ask myself what i could possibly learn from it. there’s always a thing to learn, even if it’s mere acceptance. it’s saved my mental life, i tell ya that
sometimes you think you’ve ‘passed a test’ but the situation is a ‘pop quiz’ in a different format: how you perform on that assessment is not meant to trick you but to check in on your progress and maybe illuminate areas that still need your attention, something else to learn because the timing and scenario is different.
it’s beautiful.

LA getting you down? because its Too Boring? Escape into this provocative - bordering-smut novel
that takes place in more exciting, drug fueled times. It’s called ’The Shards’ and I read it earlier this summer and could not put it down. Like most of Ellis’ writing, it’s got well dressed preppy hot people and cocaine and serial killers. After reading ’The Shards’, I’ve been very visually inspired by 1980s LA 🎥🎥🎥

It has so many purposes. For some reason it cures any weird thing that appears on my skin. I know its antibacterial but feels like a miracle for anything nefarious. also if your sink smells bad throw some down there it’ll help.
