What you’re drawn to is not random. It’s a map of the kind of world you want to participate in

If you mess up a social interaction you can say "Failed Experiment" and move on

just completed an important but relatively uncomplicated task that's been hanging over my head for 2 weeks straight. i have been having actual nightmares and anxiety over this, worrying i will never get it done. it took me all of 30 minutes and was lightly annoying but not terrible. the relief i feel is physically palpable, like a sword has been removed from my sternum. and yet! in the nature of the human spirit! i will learn nothing from this experience!

that james baldwin quote where he says, “it took many years of vomiting up all the filth i’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before i was able to walk on the earth as though i had a right to be here.”

The way to fix a disturbing number of problems is "Cultivate good habits, and then do them consistently." I do not like this. 😠
