A compilation of penned down lines in recent weeks - from stuff I read, watched, heard, conversed or thoughts that came to mind :

We're not lost. I just don't know where we are.

The last mile, the final 10% is the most important. It requires all the attentions to the details

"You'll be my home," she said. “And I'll be yours."

Each individual is ultimately responsible for their own path.

Nostr is your personal art space and every note is your blank canvas.

Do what’s right by sticking to your convictions and you’ll do okay.

Energy doesn’t lie

Always be your biggest cheerleader and your strongest gatekeeper.

People treat you exactly how they feel about you.

I think you already knew this and I just captured what has been for you, scattered intuition.

Bet on yourself, even if no one else does

The simple things are also the most extraordinary things

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving

“Vek zhivi–vek uchis.” Live and learn

If someone tells you, it’s me or the dog, pick the dog

The more I understand the world better, the more I want to stay away from politics

Between continuous and discontinuous lies a spectrum of demands for behavioral change.

Your heart’s validation is bigger than your friend’s recommendation.

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.

Keep going, finish the year strong

Thank you but you are far too kind. We likely cross paths in our creative interests ♥️

Some thoughts, or stuff I read or heard in recent weeks :

It’s easier to search for answers than it is to ask the right questions.

Start. You’ll figure it out as it goes

“I’m so sorry.” Such worthless, feeble words. But really, in such a situation, there was nothing helpful to be said (when someone passes away)

Grief is something that breaks you in ways you can’t explain

Celebrate America not out of fear but out of love (by nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m)

Grassroots innovators don’t wait for permission.

Don’t let people guilt trip you into becoming a lesser version of yourself

Timing has a lot to do with everything

The key is knowing when to walk away.

It’s one of those things you never thought you’d like but it ended up being your favourite

If you are often surrounded by people who validate your choices, then it gets harder for you to confront your flaws.

If you are in an echo chamber of adulation or excuses, it would be difficult to see the need for change.

If you are restless in relationships, it could reflect a search for something deeper that you haven't found yet.

True connection lies with those who value the entire spectrum of who you are - the success, the struggle, and everything in between

Only help someone who is willing to help themself

Love makes us vulnerable to loss, yet it gives life its greatest meaning.

sometimes love is about recognizing what's best for the other person, even if it's not what we want personally

Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and you grow old wanting to get back to

“It’s a house. Just a pile of stones and mortar, and a crumbling one at that. It’s meaningless without love to fill it. My home is wherever you are.”

Just a girl from the wrong side of the tracks
