You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

I hate how acknowledging unfairness in the world is seen as "childish". Maybe children are right. I don't think you should be proud of the fact that you've become complacent with the state of your miserable existence and took on this loser "it is what it is" mentality. Things can be better.

here to remind you...

...to take a deep breath

...to relax your jaw

...to take a sip of water

...to close your eyes for a few seconds

...to roll out your shoulders

...to stretch your legs & arms

...to take another deep breath, and

...to give yourself a gentle smile

take more of these mini-breaks throughout the day. you deserve them ✨
