I saw a post on Reddit that said, “When you walk through a museum, you’re not just looking at art. You’re moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a museum described so beautifully.

Guys please fight for the life you want. Drag yourself out of the pits of self-doubt, self sabotage and whatever the devil is whispering in your ear. We are not here for long, empty yourself up. ♥️🌸

why not you? you are allowed to believe that your life could become something you can barely comprehend from where you’re standing today. you are allowed to take that belief seriously enough to build your days around it, even when the evidence hasn’t caught up yet. you dont know what you could become five years from now - and that’s exactly the point.

Can we PLEASE normalize just hanging out at each other’s houses again? Why does every friendship meetup need to be a whole production, a restaurant reservation, and a $150 bill? I just want to sit on your couch, drink something, and talk for hours.

the trick is having the courage to live through a chapter you hate without letting it poison your belief in the story. even in the middle of something painful, you can hold onto that deep pull toward what your life could become. so much of life comes down to your ability to keep believing in what you cannot see yet, to keep faith in the story while you’re still living through the parts that make it hard to believe

The world does not need a billion suns. It needs stars and moons. Some people are the mountains, some the seas. Some stand as rivers, others trees. Your greatness is waiting for you to discover how it shines in the world and there's magic in knowing there's so much you can be.
How I feel when I see people my age do great things while I’m still stuck trying to figure out what the hell is going on in my life. xitter.cf/whotjj/status/21078630…

It's a crime against humanity that we not only have not gotten a sequel or updated animated series for Static, but we also haven't gotten any movies or games either.
He's one of the best characters in DC/Milestone history and he gets absolute dust. Shit ain't right man.

I love that one of the driving motivations of her advancing in the tournament is that she has to get some fits off.
Naomi Osaka after beating Zakharova at the U.S. Open
“I just get really nervous during the first round of this tournament because I wanna do well… and I wanna show you guys some more outfits” 😂
Andrea Petkovic: “Can you tell us a little bit about the background and inspiration behind your outfit?”
“It’s my tribute to Iverson. I really like him a lot. Nike said ‘basketball.’ So I said ok, you want basketball I’ll give you basketball 😂. I love expressing myself through clothes. I don’t like talking that much I tell people. I’m glad you guys appreciate it and I’ll see you in the next round.”

A mistake that cost me 5 years: Thinking preparation was progress. Reading every book. Taking every course. Planning every detail. Meanwhile, someone dumber than me started badly and figured it out. Preparation feels productive but it's often just fear dressed up as strategy. You learn to swim by getting in
the water, not by studying water.

Nobody really claps for discipline. Nobody cheers for consistency. But one day, everyone will notice the change. Show up everyday and work on your life. Do it alone. Do it broke. Do it tired. Do it scared. But somehow, just do it.

Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
