i really thought i was set. robust health, a lucrative career, and strong personal relationships. i was extremely, extremely content… but being content doesnt mean fulfilled. when it comes to self improvement - exercise, avoiding seed oils, going analog, touching grass, avoiding lonliness etc etc, these surface level reccomendations only take you so far. i had those things, i had all those things and then some, and still my brain wanted more. it wasnt until i started making things, writing, taking pictures, making videos, pursuing projects, searching for the one piece, that the greater picture started to become more clear. i needed to create. my heart was longing to make an impact. humans need an outlet. we need to things off our chest. we are abominable, gluttonous pigs, consuming consuming consuming. we fill our brains until our belts burst, never releasing the pressure valve. humans arent meant to have access to this much information to do nothing with. we all need to use the ideas we consume for something more, for something bigger than ourselves. few things have been as rewarding as vomiting my thoughts out on the internet and im sure so many people would feel the same if they just fucking tried. dont overcomplicate it. just do something. anything. your soul will do a little dance. once you start, its hard to imagine life ever existed otherwise. for the love of yourself, please practice art.

stop being so afraid to get involved, you wont get tossed into a vulcano for standing out. dance until your knees hurt at the wedding, order for the table at dinner, help the kid who spills their lunch. be a good sumaritan. clean up the garbage, make the phone call, be a vigilante. its ironic. the people who act larger than life, who dominate rooms and captivate audiences, are the opposite of the norm. they put the heart and soul into the game of charades. they help the elderly get off the bus. theyre anomolies of modern times and we aspire to act like them, yet, we cringe at the idea of haing too much fun. until they do. this is a decision you can make. its a choice to not sit on the bench, its safe on the sidelines. better to keep your hands clean. less risky to lay up. at the end of the day though, its the people who arent afraid to look like idiots who miraculously seem to be anything but that. theyre the ones who make life meaningful, the ones change lives, open doors, and milk life to the fullest. you can choose to participate, or you can choose to let someone else lead the charge. call for the ball, or watch from the stands. be the hero, or wish you had the cajones to act. because if you dont, someone else will, and all youll be asking is why you were too afraid to get involved.

moved in with gf boys, gg

my friend got dumped and was sad so he ran a half marathon in a culdesac and now hes better. lesson in that.

never let the kid in you die. little buddy is still in there fighting for their life and theyve got more dog in them than you ever did. if you feel like youre lost in the middle of the ocean, ask yourself what you were doing when you were happiest and healthiest. chances are it was when you were a little kid and didnt give a shit about what anyone thought of you. youve just lost your way. and you will again. if you feel like life has become drab and gray, live more like the little kid you used to be. theres a permanent lighthouse in all of us. all we gotta do is ask the little rodent to turn it on.

gym thoughts today: > if you just paced between sets instead of sitting motionless on the leg extension machine, your recovery would improve and youd burn an extra 200 calories per workout. you get out what you put in, like everything in life > gym wipes are completely useless > is it weird i imagine cars landing on people i love if i dont get the weight up? works. > how hard can it possibly be for people to put shit back when theyre done? if you dont someone else is gonna have to > if people send you music, actually listen to it, its almost always good

i want to be cool and mysterious so bad but i just cant shut the fuck up

sup. this talking shit is hard. lead by example.

Yooo 300 followers, thank you. Gratitude for each and every one of you savages. Head down, nose to the grindstone. Fueled. On a mission.

legs legs legs

stop looking at everyone else's grass and focus on your own. there's a dog taking a piss and you don't even realize it.

You are not a wizard. You cannont be 2 places at once. Saying “yes” to something means saying “no” to something else. Choose wisely.

damn why do i feel so good kinda morning

your brain is always on the hunt. a problem solving machine. feed it a problem to solve or it will create an apex predator for you to run from.

do not persist. there will come a day when your relationship fractures and you know deep down they arent the one. you both deserve more than a love held together by convenience. throw in the towel. raise the white flag. sometimes the bravest thing is knowing when to retreat.

How I went from sea cucumber to esoteric wizard: 1. I realized life is a suicide mission, no respawns. 2. I started lifting and running 2/3x per week. 3. I ate what I thought was healthy. 4. I started reading/listening. 5. I dropped video games. 6. I started writing. 7. Buzzcut.

I wear AirPods. I drink out of cans. I put on sunscreen. I’m still in good health. Stop majoring in the minors.

relationships anchored in nostalgia are over. friendships focused on future possibilities are the ones you should be nourishing. you only have so much time and energy to give people. being selective means you can show up fully for the relationships that matter.

shes gonna be pissed boys

How on earth do you expect to take care of someone else if you can’t take of yourself?
