I think the internet really distorts our perception of how long it’s takes to learn a new skill. We’re bombarded with 1-month, 3-month, and even 6 month transformations—but it’s taken me over two years to be able to do a handstand away from the wall, and three years of learning to snowboard before I really started to understand what I was doing.

Things take time. Let them.

everything slowly gets better (if you work to make it better)

substack feels so much more civilized and corporate than x; however x is starting to be so hellish that I suppose I can deal with this. I was no longer really live journaling on x anymore anyways— this feels like a new space for sharing thoughts in a more engaged, thought through, and intentional way.
