My favorite quote! If you win the rat race, you’re still a rat - first read this in a random commencement speech (linked)
Obviously I think about it in terms of the classic career/ money making rat race, but I also use it in so many other contexts. Just a general reminder to make sure whatever I pursue or desire isn’t just a reaction to what other people are doing. Very grounding

as it sit here reflecting on my life at ripe age of 33 i realize that pretty much everything good in my life has been the result of great persistence. of not quitting, even though it would probably feel amazing. i'm realizing i have a ****roach mindset****

inspired by a convo I had today + Sabrina Carpenter’s speech at a variety event last year (?)
I hope this reminder finds anyone who needs it because I know I needed to hear it today (yes I was tweaking out ok) — I know this sounds awfully annoying when you’re in the midst of it all but I hope we find it in ourselves to genuinely fall in love with the process, whatever that means for us as individuals — whether that’s with a craft, goal, or vision etc etc.
for me personally i am learning to appreciate the version of myself rn. to expand, the version who is still trying to figure out how showing up authentically looks like for me, feeling v awkward while doing so, but also trying to remember that i will never have her again. i saw this quote also the other day and it really moved me

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us” J.R.R. Tolkien…. Master quote maker, LORD of the rings…
So timeless, so true. It’s easy for a quote to become cheesy the more you see it on posters, online, on mugs etc… don’t let it! We‘ve been gifted the time, now what are you going to do with it?!

In college I crushed on a guy with a mullet then realized I could just get my own mullet. Thought this dude in a bolo tie recently was so hot then I just started wearing a bolo tie. Surface level crushes are the perfect inspo source
