[ID: I love you; I don't know how else to begin. / How we began, though, was almost as if / it were already written. The details of how we arrived / at each other, to say I love you even as we fall asleep, / to let each other's name be the first sound / we utter every morning, can only be a gift of careful / construction, / a design of an elsewhere where we were already together. / Saying nothing, you make me want to live / more meaningfully. The world is so wild, beautiful, / and terrifying, and everywhere we turn, a new atrocity. / Then, I close my eyes and picture joy. / Among things, there is this day. Among faces, / there is yours. And I am no longer afraid. / I watch you in your own, quiet moments, / and I want this life. I want this life / to be longer. All I want is more time with you. / This is the only way I know how to end.]

Find Me as the Creature I Am, Emily Jungmin Yoon

you are allowed to have a moment to think before you speak

terrifying sincerity will demand from you the kind of composure and character you are seeking

practice asking yourself questions and answer them without seeking references or resources or answers that others gave

the difference between ritual and routine is faith, and the kind of faith you need to give to your habits—what they each mean to you— is something to be curious, reflective, intentional about. you are afraid that habits will sap your life of meaning, so give them meaning of their own

Lila (divine play)

novelty & magic are rivers, not reservoirs

Focusing on what’s rooted in reality has reduced so much of my overthinking time. If a friend is already out of my life, there’s no point dissecting our interactions from back when we were friends. If I already broke up w someone, there’s no point thinking about the could-have-beens because they will never happen. If I’m into someone but it wouldn’t work for whatever reason, then it just doesn’t. Something just is or just isn’t. There’s a lesson to take from everything but I also don’t want to use that as a catch-all excuse of getting into the weeds for something when the weeds have already been cut off and it doesn’t even matter anymore
