There’s some weird false idea that when you’re working towards being confident or happy or loving yourself you won’t have bad days. You will, and they will be horrible. You will feel like shit and nothing will go right. Those days don’t take away from all your progress or set the tone for your entire journey. Experience those days. It’s okay. Your journey is still valid.

You can have bad days, weeks, or months. All that matters is that you forgive yourself and move on. Slow progress is still progress

ok but imagine a roomba that’s programmed to react positively when being scratched or petted

I have a Neato Botvac that has an optical sensor to find its way around (Roombas just bump into things and derps off in a random direction) and yesterday it did its “dee-dummm” sad noise while under the couch, stopped what it was doing, and hummed over to me and stopped beside my chair, with its error message saying, “Please dust me off so I can see.” I wiped it off and sent it on its way, and it did its “doo doo do doooo!” of happiness and finished the living room. It’s never done that before, but I like to think that I’ve gained its trust over the past few months, and it knows it can come to me for help.

Tip your server. Hold the door for the person behind you. Pick up some trash. Impeach Trump. It's the little things that have a ripple effect and make the world a better place.

we move to a new city. we unpack the essentials and i make you dinner in our new kitchen. tomorrow i will start a new job that doesnt make my bones ache, and you will unpack and revel in the distance and the newness you have always craved. it may not be home forever, but we will start to build the foundations of our life here in a way we couldn’t before.
