You cannot do it all. Walk 10,000 steps. Sleep 8 hours. Cook three meals. Keep your house clean. Take care of your family. Pursue your hobbies. Excel at your job. Every. Single. Day. That's not how real life works. That's a checklist designed to make you feel miserable. Like you're failing at everything. Truth is... some days, you'll eat healthy. Other days, you'll order takeout. Some days, you'll crush your work. Other days, you'll barely get through it. And that's okay. You can't optimize every part of your life. You're human, not a fucking machine. Do what you can. Let some things slide. Try again tomorrow. You don't need to do everything right to have a good life. It's okay to be imperfect.

the older you get the more you realize how dangerous it is to know this much about the lives of strangers.
i often can’t believe how many ppl are just constantly plugged into para social drama where they spend their time effectively absorbing relationships, tragedies, opinions, fights, successes, illnesses, & anxieties of thousands of ppl that they will never meet like influencers. not only that but they’re taking advice from & formulating opinions through these ppl. this is nuts.
i don’t follow any influencers & very few ppl in my life that are close to me know any sort of intimate details. & i resist knowing things about ppl i don’t know. i suspect that’s the way it should be.

One of the greatest viruses of the modern man is looking at Instagram Stories. You will melt your brain looking at a barrage of outcomes—like vacations, parties, cars—with no visibility of the process that got them there.
