capitalism is a bitch and it’s easy to call ourselves lazy for not pushing ourselves. some seasons it’s healthier to choose the softer route, even if it doesn’t lead to the most stereotypically ‘successful’ outcome. work less, care less and choose peace/serenity 😌

Like giving up trying to do something that ur working too hard for, hard enough that its actually making u take steps backwards? That still sounds depressing but I swear its not. Its like realizing you dont need to achieve that thing , you can just do ur best and eventually you'll probably get to where u want to be, it's just a little less direct (maybe I've stopped to smell the roses, or more like I plucked a rose while walking by).

been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says “the time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not… how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserable”. reminds me of that old Seneca quote, Something about the man who worries before necessary, suffers twice. when things already suck, i still have the option to be happy & make things better for myself. i know it sounds easier said than done but many times I’ve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience would’ve gotten me through. every Moment is an opportunity to turn things around & make myself happy. gratitude helps a lot w this. blurting This all out here coz i know it’s an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time ⭐️

Slowly learning the value of removing expectations from work and life. I’ve spent years trying to control the outcome of situations with no pay off and feeling burdened by something not being perfect.
We are not meant to excel at every single thing. It’s okay to relax and enjoy the process.

when life smacks u in the face u realize what a lil bitch u were before and puts everything into perspective. instead of whining about how rough you have it and ruminating in regret, being grateful and having self compassion wins every time
