The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.
"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

Writing is selection. Just to start a piece of writing you have to choose one word and only one from more than a million in the language. Now keep going. What is your next word? Your next sentence, paragraph, section, chapter? Your next ball of fact. You select what goes in and you decide what stays out. At base you have only one criterion: If something interests you, it goes in—if not, it stays out. That’s a crude way to assess things, but it’s all you’ve got. Forget market research. Never market-research your writing. Write on subjects in which you have enough interest on your own to see you through all the stops, starts, hesitations, and other impediments along the way.
John McPhee, Omission: Choosing what to leave out, The New Yorker (September 7, 2015)

Don't let others fool you into rushing, specifically on social media. No one is posting their mistakes and failures. If you keep showing up with discipline, eventually, it will happen. In the meantime, focus on what matters to you, work hard on what works, and trust the process.

"In the world of music and to be an artist your music should be great. Everyone thinks they are printing bangers, but you have to level up and stand out differently. Earlier I was very quick to make a song and release it, but now I take time because everyday if you play your track on loop again and again only then you can decide if its good great or not and mind you, the listener is always smarter than you; and this statement is something I learned from John Mayer. So keep building the sound bank, take time and put real efforts and see how your sound transform. Speaking from my personal experience. Don't rush, Internet will forever keep your track flowing but make sure the tracks are really "banger". Take feedback, honest criticism and keep your ego under check. Great artists can take it when shit hits the fan and use it as an improvement tool."

OP: Back when I was young, I couldn’t afford nice clothes. Now, I buy pretty dresses for the 18-year-old me. (cr 农村的陈奶奶)
