Oof this is exactly where I’m at…
I read too much dense nonfiction and burned out the book reading part of my brain, and it massively impacted on my ability to read for pleasure, but do you know what immediately fixed that and led to my current 2-5 book a week reading spree? Reading old middle grade and YA novels I loved as a kid.

‘White Lotus’ star Carrie Coon talks about her viral sprint scene in the season finale:

“Look, I’m an American and I’m a New Yorker, and if you think I don’t know where the exits are in any building I’m in, then you’re not paying attention to the news.”

That season of White Lotus was like a Terrence Malick movie: visually stunning, packed with talent, aggressively pointless

We all need to be unruly on Mondays. It might make Sunday scaries less of a thing.

Oof…
A sign of wisdom is choosing not to believe everything you think. A mark of emotional intelligence is choosing not to internalize everything you feel.

Thoughts and emotions are possibilities to ponder, not facts to accept. We don’t always invite them in, but we decide whether they deserve to stay.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

When you tell your therapist you’re depressed and she looks at her notes from the past two years and sees you were depressed at the same time the last two years…. 😳 honestly, relief

Reminding myself again to not process *anything* about my life when I’m in the thick of depression. No good can come from it… 😵‍💫😮‍💨

Y’all it is okay to feel joy. In fact joy in the face of terror is a form of resistance. It can serve as a reminder of that which we desire to protect.

I love this quote that I saw from Insight Timer earlier this week…and it applies to *all* of our connections, not just romantic.
