#803498 Gratitude Journal of the Day:

•I’m grateful for Manu teaching me Aristotle: Ethos, Pathos and Logos are now actually words that I can work with instead of saying I’ve heard them.

•I’m grateful for Simon^2, Samuel and Max keeping me good company during the day and stocking up my cookies supply’s. I really appreciated your presence 🧡

•I’m grateful for having a roof over my head. After a day of sunshine and good company with my fellow plebs, I was pushed out of my comfort zone in the last 30 min of the day. I was sitting through a thunderstorm and I’m grateful for having persevered through it.

Was it necessary to get soaked at the end? Probably not! Did it make a difference for anyone else’s than me? Probably not.

Could I have gone home earlier? Yes. Am I proud for pushing through? Yes.

Because it’s a deeply humbling experience, feeling the force of nature. When seconds feel like minutes and minutes feel like hours. It also shows me what I’m fighting against; the arrogance of man. In order to mitigate climate change we have to push ourselves outside our comfort zones while millions, maybe billions of people will fight for bare survival.
