It’s cool. Take a shower. Open the windows to let in fresh air even if it’s cold out. Listen to the wind rustling the leaves & the people walking and chatting. Clean something random to see that you can make a difference through action. This too shall pass

“When we recognize that we have a habit of replaying old events and reacting to new events as if they were the old ones, we can begin to notice when that habit energy comes up. We can then gently remind ourselves that we have another choice. We can look at the moment as it is, a fresh moment, and leave the past for a time when we can look at it compassionately.”
— Thích Nhất Hạnh
anyway I’ve been working on this substack for almost 3 years and I think it’s achieved an acceptable final shape (as in purpose, presentation, and a few essays and notes to set the tone) at least for now!!! and I’d love to launch it this year and I’m saying this here bc I’m so embarrassed to admit it out loud so this is me putting it out there for the first time. 🕰️ ✨💐
