73. Pretty pity parties and making ugly art on purpose
- It’s always okay to throw yourself a pity party with a nice cake
- Sometimes it helps to google basic for-dummies shit --- like DO I HAVE ALL THE PIES
- You are guaranteed to miss out on almost everything life has to offer, and that is what makes your choices meaningful (thanks a lot Oliver Burkeman)
- By the time you’re 32 you know a little somethin somethin about tomorrow (and the next day)
- Does striving for things ultimately push them away? Who knows, man
