Unprecedented

“Don’t sabotage your identity trying to name it. Let it be undefined, permeable, mixed, peculiar, unapologetically authentic. Be in peace with being unprecedented, with not fitting anywhere, with being adrift. Before flight, there’s a free fall.” There’s beauty in the unknown.

Grief.

“I hope this grief stays with me because it’s all the unexpressed love that I didn’t get to tell her” ~ Andrew Garfield. Andrew said this when talking about his mother’s passing and it was the most gut wrenchingly beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. Grief and death are some of…

Live for the Aesthetics

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you are wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And…

Document Your Life

Sometimes we get so caught up in life that we forget that we don’t always have to be busy; we don’t always need to be checking our email or rushing to the next thing. We need to remind ourselves that it’s okay — and absolutely necessary — to slow it…

Perspective

Life can seem awful and unfixable until the universe shifts a little and the observation point is altered, and then suddenly, everything seems more bearable. — It’s almost the beginning of another year, and we all know what happens then. New Year’s Resolutions. It’s a classic human move. And to be honest, no-one can blame anyone for making 2021 resolutions, considering the rollercoaster of a year we’ve just had. The fact that we have survived this…

Ready or Not

You’ve probably heard of an epiphany. A point in your life where something becomes clear to you in a whole new light and you grasp the essential meaning of it. You wake up one day and you have this great conviction that there is a new perspective on how you’ve…

Intensity.

“Your brain must be a very intense place.” The first time I read these words, I couldn’t help but relate to them so much. I have thoughts running in my head practically all day long. I might be doing something and a thought just pops into my head that there…

The Story of Success.

Disclaimer: The 10,000-hour rule has been debunked by studies, one of which you can read here. We’ve all heard the common narrative of success stories: from rags to riches. It’s a rather appealing notion to think about. But it is not that simple. Oprah Winfrey says that her biggest frustration…
