Reminder: Write that thing. Pluck it outta your soul with rusty pliers. Hit the keyboard like it owes you money. Write whenever, wherever you can. Tell your story. Make the words dance. Whatever you want—a novel, a short story, an agent, a movie—it all starts with the writing.

To be clear: I 100% believe we must fight for the future (that's what makes any of this worthwhile IMO), and also, I am not living as though I am def going to get to do the things I want to do later, or as though the people and places I want to spend time with will necessarily be around later.

SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, a lot of the resilience you’ll be rewarded for is actually the practice of you learning to betray yourself, deny your own desires, fear complexity, and slowly but surely learn to resent anyone who doesn’t actively work against themselves the way you do.
