1/ you are what you notice.
2/ not just what you do or believe, but what you keep paying attention to.
3/ notice kindness → you get more compassionate.
4/ notice flaws → you get more critical.
5/ notice possibilities → you get more hopeful.

are you a friend to a villain?
not in a movie. in real life.
someone who hurts others. someone who manipulates.
and if you are… what does that make you?

been asking “is that real?” way too much lately. it’s honestly tiring. most people just believe whatever they see.
confusion and overload work in their favor. when you’re too tired to question things, you’re easier to influence. and the people who want control? they know that.

national holidays offer just enough of a breather to keep the machine running, but not enough to truly break away or question the system.

I finally did it. I changed my name on my resume.
Got “unofficial” feedback from a job I applied to, it turns out my resume wasn’t even considered because my name made it sound like “English isn’t my first language.”

we judge, we compare, we feel lost—then we grow, adapt, and see differently. the human experience is just perspective in motion.

Fixing immigration with a wall? Makes sense. Guess the next step is slapping some giant AC units on the poles to stop climate change.

Chicago’s winter clearly thrives on attention. Let’s gaslight it into leaving. 🥶
Chicago’s brutal cold streak continues as winter sets in.🥶
Temperatures will remain below freezing for much of the week, with chances for some light snow, according to the NWS.

You work a job you hate to buy things you don’t need. Fight Club called it out years ago: “The things you own end up owning you.” But have you ever stopped to ask: Why does this feel normal?

every new generation breaks the mold, and every older one complains. it’s a cycle—questioning the rules is how we grow, even if it looks messy.

Why does @bsky.app let strangers save profile pics? Feels like it's nudging them to be nosy! Sure, they can screenshot, but a direct save option just makes it easier to invade privacy. It's like the app saying, 'Hey, you can save this if you want!'—which does feel a bit invasive.

On #RH, a therapist told a housewife to be more 'introspective.' AKA, try being more self-aware without making her defensive. If only she knew... she'd be like 'WHAT?! I'm already self-aware!' Oh, the subtle art of therapy. 🛋️

everyone wants to feel like they belong. it’s not just about the content anymore—people want to feel connected, like they’re part of something bigger. when a creator can make you feel like you’re in the right place, that’s the real magic.
