i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

i mean this completely seriously but… a cup of coffee can save your life a little, a shower can save your life a little, making your favorite meal can save your life a little…….little things actually add up to really big things in the long run if you let them, the secret to surviving everyday is infusing a little bit of magic into the mundane i truly believe that

TIME STOCKS
We say we "spend" time on things, but it's more accurate to say that we "invest" time in things. The more we are with something, the deeper we get to know it, the larger the fund of memories we have of it, the more confident we grow in it.

The Learning Pyramid:
How well you retain info depends on the way you learned it. People remember 5% of what they hear, 10% of what they read, 50% of what they discuss, 75% of what they do, and 90% of what they teach. The more interactive your learning, the more you learn.

MONKEY SEE, MONKEY THINK
“Fiction may be emotionally engaging and philosophy may be thought-provoking, but what will they teach me about the world?”
Some doubt the value of fiction and philosophy on the assumption that we learn more about the world by consuming facts. But this belief ignores the fundamental truth that we learn more through “showing” than through “telling”: just as we imitate our parents when young, we pick up way more through style and sensibility than information and instruction.
