2024 is the year we stop “consuming” and go back to “reading/watching/listening to/playing” things

WRITE EVERY DAY EVEN IF IT’S BAD

DO ART AND PLAY MUSIC. IT WILL BE BAD

INVITE PEOPLE OVER EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW THEM WELL

HUG PEOPLE EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW THEM WELL

IF YOU ARE MAD, GO TO BED

IF YOU ARE SCARED, GO TO BED

It's not really important what color your dress is, what matters is the heart inside.

giving someone the hair tie off your wrist is a stronger form of intimacy than making a blood pact

new years goals

1. get into calisthenics (achieve a pull-up and a push up)

2. develop abs and biceps, finalise workout routine and splits — push, pull, legs and cardio-core (the abs are coming in but i've been neglecting core workouts)

3. improve per km pace from 8 to 7 mins for 4k and run 5k

4. study in advance for courses so that I can make time for working out and socialising

5. be as genuine and do the right thing as much as i possibly can

6. be kind to myself and other people even when it's hard, but don't let myself get walked over

7. exude confidence even when there is none. get work done and get other people to do their share of work too.

8. journal every week at the very least. set a routine for that every sunday.

9. deal with whatever has been weighing on my mind for all these years. repair my relationship with my parents

10. try to be happier from within. be open to possibilities.

11. hit my protein intake goal (at least 100g a day—this one seems unlikely because i havent been able to do that all year but if i want to see gains i've got to chug a couple protein shakes i guess)

12. eat more fibre and vegetables (one serving of fruit or veg with every meal)

an 18-wheeler died on the side of the highway the other day. a pack of scavenging motorcycles was eating its carcass. one of them growled at me

when you let go of people you are painfully seeking approval or love from, you return to yourself. you return to what feels truer to you and to what brings you happiness. you are reminded that life does not always have to feel bad, that you do not always have to feel like you aren’t enough, that what you want for yourself and your future goes beyond a single person’s regard of you. you notice the energy start to shift and flow more fluidly. pay attention to all of this.
