spoke up the other day at work when some shit went down and even though it was a little scary to talk back to The C Suite I think it was something I needed to do or I would sit and rot in my own anger. also, it helped embolden other people to bring up their own grievances… you can’t just let people make massive decisions that you don’t agree with and not say anything. it’s going to make you look worse in the eyes of your bosses but you have to decide who really matters more and I guess I had an awakening that the people who matter are my team members….. the people I work with every day with lives and families and passions outside of all of this… grindset and self-preservation deactivated but I think that’s okay.

100% agree!! like there's always different ways to say something / let it out, but what matters is that its expressed nonetheless...

sometimes a great leader will step up before you can say a word. sometimes nobody will say anything and everything will crash and burn on its own. the best option in my eyes is to recognize the situation and do what will benefit everyone most, even if its not what you’d prefer the most

I got sat down by three of my best friends a few weeks ago about my overall attitude / humor / sarcasm. They said they could tell that life was weighing on me in a way that was making me more cynical, meaner and combative. It was hard hear that from friends. One of them hit me with a zinger — ā€œWe don’t think it’s any concern to your life as a husband or dad today, but we’re scared it might be in the future.ā€ — BRUTAL. But they were right. Work was really weighing on me in a negative way and I needed a wake up call. It was stern and loving. And I’m thankful for them and their initiative to approach me about it. Here’s to getting better + really accepting their thoughts as valid and working through them.

I don’t always want to post them but I find that getting into the habit of taking lots of photos, good and bad, both with people in them and not, makes me want to keep them safer than just on instagram. that’s my emotional support folder… get away from her…

I’ve been very slowly making my way through the satoshi kon filmography (like very slowly,,, I first watched perfect blue three years ago) and honestly this one might be my favorite?? a found family film through and through, which I am a gigantic sucker for. three homeless people find a baby in a dumpster and set out on a quest to find her parents, no matter the result. I think I was more receptive to it because it takes place on christmas eve and I was already feeling fresh nostalgia for a christmas eve that had just happened a few days before… but I loved being in the world this film builds. a gross, hidden tokyo built upon the backs of small kindnesses. will absolutely watch again next year because I haven’t stopped thinking about it, wanting to return to that world for a few minutes.
