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****
you can succeed if you stick around long enough

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.

I swear to god this shit is too powerful. It doesn’t always work out the way I hoped but the win/loss ratio is definitely in my favour. We are social creatures. We like helping each other. Just do it. Ask me for something if you want. Who knows what I’ll say.
