Nobody prepares you for how much quieter you become in your 30s ! You stop needing to be seen, chosen, understood or validated ! You just want to feel rested, regulated, grounded & at peace !

People hit 30 and give up on life. No, your life is not over because you’re in your 30s or 40s. Life is not over because you were in a wack relationship, have kids, are in debt, , let your body go etc. Hit the reset button. Change your habits, learn a skill, do whatever it takes to turn your life around, but giving up is wack. If you want it bad enough, you can come back from pretty much anything.

You gotta fall in love with the incremental progress man. Fitness, skincare, learning a skill, decorating your living space. It's all about compounding that 1%

I think people underestimate how much of a luxury it is to genuinely like your normal day. Not the holiday, not the birthday, not the reservation. Literally Monday.

I saw a post on Reddit that said, “When you walk through a museum, you’re not just looking at art. You’re moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a museum described so beautifully.

Guys please fight for the life you want. Drag yourself out of the pits of self-doubt, self sabotage and whatever the devil is whispering in your ear. We are not here for long, empty yourself up. ♥️🌸

why not you? you are allowed to believe that your life could become something you can barely comprehend from where you’re standing today. you are allowed to take that belief seriously enough to build your days around it, even when the evidence hasn’t caught up yet. you dont know what you could become five years from now - and that’s exactly the point.

People aren't just TIRED. They're grieving the lives they thought they'd be living by now while trying to survive a reality that keeps moving the finish line.

one of the best gifts you can give yourself is building a high level of self esteem that doesn’t depend on human validation.

Can we PLEASE normalize just hanging out at each other’s houses again? Why does every friendship meetup need to be a whole production, a restaurant reservation, and a $150 bill? I just want to sit on your couch, drink something, and talk for hours.

the trick is having the courage to live through a chapter you hate without letting it poison your belief in the story. even in the middle of something painful, you can hold onto that deep pull toward what your life could become. so much of life comes down to your ability to keep believing in what you cannot see yet, to keep faith in the story while you’re still living through the parts that make it hard to believe

And yes, I do believe the friendships you form in your early years are often rooted in proximity, while the ones you form in adulthood are rooted in alignment.

The world does not need a billion suns. It needs stars and moons. Some people are the mountains, some the seas. Some stand as rivers, others trees. Your greatness is waiting for you to discover how it shines in the world and there's magic in knowing there's so much you can be.
How I feel when I see people my age do great things while I’m still stuck trying to figure out what the hell is going on in my life. xitter.cf/whotjj/status/21078630…

It's a crime against humanity that we not only have not gotten a sequel or updated animated series for Static, but we also haven't gotten any movies or games either. He's one of the best characters in DC/Milestone history and he gets absolute dust. Shit ain't right man.

He was taking care of his body before he really had to..and that’s why he’s in his 40’s and still an impactful NBA player.
