as many very wise people have said comparison is the thief of fucking joy. I mean you hear these things time and time again but the validity of the statement never really reigns true until you are on the other side of it; in the muck, reflecting on all the ways in which you are not where you are "supposed" to be or meandering over the experiences everyone else around you has had. I won't lie to you and say that I fully believe that the derailments we face or the adversities one might endure are necessarily all products of "higher" teachings BUT I do believe that we rob ourselves of so much dignity when we use these hardships as anchors to what the rest of the world is pushing upon you. it is okay to take your time. it is okay to fail and not know how to pick back up the pieces. society SHOULD encourage everyone to move in accordance to their own natural rhythm and not make people conform into these perceived notions of growth. move at your own pace. we are all flailing around trying to figure this shit out. seek fulfillment as you chose. be gentler with yourself. being alive is already hard enough, and you've made it this far... and that pretty fucking incredible to me!

I have a friend who has a membership and brought me as a guest once. the food was fine, basic Italian-American-ish offerings. The movie screening rooms are nice.

last night's Health Ensurance event at Village East was a breath of fresh air, so many talented people in one room showing some boundary pushing (and very funny) work
our video low key had no business being shown there but also kind of awesome to see it in such a beautiful theater.

allowing yourself the space to grow and make amends with whatever emotional or spiritual baggage you may or may not be carrying is such a powerful feeling. learning to pour love back into oneself is a radical and necessary act! easier said than done of course but whew itβs nice to remember that we are all worthy of solace and joy and if we can actively show up for others because they deserve it we can learn to do the same for ourselves.

every year a new little nugget of wisdom and the mental fortification to seek the clarity you desire. truly the most fucked up reward when it comes to unpacking your adolescence or navigating adulthood but delicious in the ways of feeling less incoherent/aloof . what a joy it is to be twenty something and reckoning with it all!
