⚖️
Nothing is every truly perfect, and upon realizing that it’s easy to fall victim to disillusion and find yourself on the other end of the spectrum — this thing must be imperfect and flawed and broken.
But what if you lived in the tension space? Where nothing is ever truly perfect and where nothing is going to fully be all that you need it to be? Can you find yourself between those two opposing camps?
It’s easier to date someone and marry someone and love someone when you realize they’re not perfect, and they never will be, and you get to love them in spite of their imperfections. There are bands that shift and grow and their sounds change and they get written off — no! How wonderful is it to accept that people change and sounds change and genres change! That restaurant that made you that one dish that one time that you can’t stop dreaming about? One day you’ll order it again and it won’t be as good; do you write off that restaurant? NO! You go again! Because bad days happen!
I’m on a rant, and it doesn’t even make complete sense, but I’m very tired of feeling like everything has to be entirely perfect otherwise it’s imperfect. It’s so silly to write things off like that, so naive too. The world doesn’t work by making everything exactly how you need it to be, it’s our job to encounter things that aren’t ideal and learn to live with them in spite of all the imperfections.

⚖️life isn’t about balance
it shifts between lows and highs, both important, neither to be ignored
but i don’t feel most at peace when i am in the middle of the two, perfectly balanced
i am at peace when i accept i am where i am
i exist as a teetering scale constantly shifting never resting never falling apart
(i am tired of crashing out)

🤍It's a quote from Voltaire. I know a bit pretentious maybe, but ooh well it's a good one to keep into the back of your mind. I think we all feel a bit judged by numbers, society, reviews, likes and what not. The presure to always progress, keep on striving and running. To what end though? Be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up mentally, cause you feel like you or what your doing/have done is not "perfect". A little message from me to you strangers on the internet: you are already doing more than good enough, even existing is hard <3

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 feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

🖥I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
