collecting motivational statements because a lot of things feel hard right now. Today: "don't be afraid of failure, be afraid of being in the same place this time next year" or something pithy like that. it is earnest, etc., but sadly I can't help the way I am drawn to earnest, and also it feels appropriate. I've been in the same place for many years. Time for change.

grateful for: the apartment feels like a treehouse; mint on the balcony and pitchersful of mint tea; breeziness that let me put on cozy socks this morning; an excavated apartment and finally a beautiful feeling of space. If I am ever tempted to buy anything ever again, I want to remember how horrible it feels to just put stuff in the trash because I don't need it and i don't want it and now it's going to go sit in the landfill for 2000 years (or I'll donate it to someplace and then eventually it still ends up in a landfill because stuff. Enough already)
