When people can’t see who you are, their minds fill in the blanks. They create a version of you that isn’t you. They can’t make out your face in the dark, so the brain starts inventing.

Writing about trauma has been an interesting time for me. Lots to learn, but it's good to see what's out there that can genuinely help.

The difference between you and what you want is execution. Your thoughts mean nothing unless you lean into them—good or bad. It's just about jumping the gap between you and the future self you want to see.

Humility is treating life like it's always just the beginning. Like you always have more to learn. Like it's a continuous process of thinking you've arrived but noticing that the horizon is endless.
Learn, know, grasp, grow.

Start, get feedback, implement.

It's a special feeling to have people who get you without needing to always translate yourself to them. They speak your language. You share interests but enjoy the differences. Values align. You activate each other.

Do me a favor and compliment someone today. Tell an artist/creator or whoever that the thing they made is cool.
This year has started off unimaginably horrible, and it's probably not going to get better anytime soon.
Spread a bit of love. Make someone's day. We all need that now more than ever.
