Merry Christmas to all. And especially to those for whom today feels complicated. To those missing someone. To those holding grief. The holidays can be overwhelming. So remember, you’re not alone. May you give yourself the same love and compassion you give to others. Much love.

Reading isn’t about finishing as many books as possible. It’s about allowing a few of them to leave marks on how you see the world.

The problem with the world is that people are willing to subscribe to a system that sacrifices people’s humanity for the sake of power. Read that again.

Global problems are the result of choices, not destiny. Poverty, pollution, burnout, declining mental health aren’t natural conditions. They’re outcomes of systems built to prioritize profit over people. Imagining a kinder world is painful because it reminds me that we could have had it already.

Idk who needs to hear this but nourish your mind. Read books, write poetry, dive into art. Happiness will never reach any of us if we’re all caught up trying to satisfy what the world wants from us. Our spirit is craving knowledge, creativity, and inspiration. Our souls need art.

The strangest part of life is how loneliness can exist in a world so hyperconnected. You scroll past thousands of people a day, but it still feels like no one’s really there. We built a society that rewards productivity more than community, and the emotional failure is everywhere. We deserve better.

Sometimes I think apathy is the luxury of those who know pain will never touch them directly.

A world where everyone is safe, fed, housed, and free is not impossible. It’s just inconvenient to the privileged in positions of power.

Some days you will feel lost. Do not rush to be found. Even the moon disappears, so it can return more whole.

We can all feel this world slowly falling apart. Something is in the air, and it’s been this way for a while now.

Whenever I’m unsure what to do next, I read. Books have a way of giving me the answer I didn’t realize I was looking for.
