☁️ Retract Your Energy

they sometimes say less is more, and this couldn't be further from the truth, especially as somebody who's Human Design is a projector. I was always taught that you need to work harder and force things aggressively in order to get where you want to be in life. This isn't always true, and if anything, this sometimes created even more resistance for me to follow as well as backlash from my people or things. Now, if this is you, please do not be afraid to pull back. Think of it like this, the bees do not chase the flowers they just exist. This is you. Sometimes we are the bees, but it's also ok to be the flower.

*shouts into bullhorn*: PROTECT MARTY JR.

I really, truly enjoy Marty Jr., okay? He’s got like, 4 minutes of screen time, but what an endearing character. I know the whole joke in the film is, “Haha, Marty Jr. is a WIMP,” but like...no. He is just a sweet, confused guy, stumbling around with a jacket sleeve that’s too long, trying to not get constantly beat up. 

He greets even his bullies with a smile, compliments his “mom” on her pants, and probably says hello to every dog he passes on the street. And should I mention the fact that he wanted to talk to his father about whether or not he should join Griff’s gang and commit crimes?

Oh, sweet, innocent Marty Jr. This cold, confusing world is too much for you. 

On a related note, my family and I regularly (and randomly) quote the grape scene, complete with Marty Jr. impressions. 10/10 highly recommend.
