wanna watch a movie but i wanna read a book but i wanna write but i wanna listen to music so naturally i will doom scroll instead

— Martha Gellhorn

The older I get, the more I realize I don’t want a busy life. I want a deep one. Slow mornings. Focused work. Calm people. Meaningful progress. Good books. A quiet mind at night. Nothing flashy. Nothing trendy. Just a life that actually feels good to live. Depth over noise.

“You may not notice it, but I try hard every day not to give up.”

no one talks about the resentment you have towards yourself after you didn’t listen to your gut

Dads were right. Walking around with your hands behind your back and looking at everything around with a mild look of disgust and annoyance is so much fun

I wish I could explain how tiring it is to live inside a head that never fully rests. Even during happy moments, there are thoughts, never ending cycle

Why does everyone force introverts to leave their comfort zone, but no one forces extroverts to shut up for a while? Why???

i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life.the plot never changes, but your perspective does.

One of my favorite things about traveling is that it breaks the illusion that your current life is the only possible one.

Sometimes I really think 2019 was the last normal year of our lives

Almost forgot that this is the whole point

The final level of being smart is just pretending you don't know anything to make your life easier.
