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****

🐀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

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

😃I can’t say when it began, but life has always been good to me. Even when I try the least. It all seems to come so easy to me. It’s like I am not even trying and I am winning. Haters will say otherwise but I don’t care. I am just doing me at the end of the day. They don’t have my ambition. That’s what feeds the beast in me. And I care alot. For my friends, my family, sometimes people I don’t even know on the street. That is why I am so successful at what I do. Believe in yourself, love yourself and love other people too. And you could even be better than me.

🚗What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.
