People are sharing this thing like "what would you keep/discard from a standard fantasy setting if you were designing your own?"

I want absurdly beautiful people holding ridiculously elaborate objects wearing offensively pretty clothes, scrap the rest tbh

also hi i'm alex

If you need sleep, then sleep. Don't sacrifice eating to continue working. If you start feeling irritable take a break for while.

Your well being is an integral part of whatever you are trying to build. It is absolutely necessary to prioritize your wellness not only for your work, but just for your day to day.

We all make sacrifices for what we believe, and that's cool. However your wellness should not be one of them.

Do whatever you need to do to maintain that. It's fucking worth it. Trust.

Putting oneself in a position to endure suffering doesn't make one any more or less committed to the work they're trying to do. Being consistent is so much more important than shallow examples of what toughness is.

Toughness is getting up everyday and sticking to your plan. Toughness is earning the trust of your community. Toughness is committing yourself to a goal and structuring your life to help you achieve it.

And doing that requires the greatest challenge of them all.

Be kind to yourself

I've always been an in the trenches kind of dude. A behind the scenes guy. I don't like a whole of attention because it's not necessary for what I want to accomplish.

I used to think gutting it out and enduring suffering was the way to 'prove' I was 'dedicated'. As I get older, I find that was just some silly juvenile shit I liked to tell myself.

The real shit is self care. The real commitment is taking care of yourself so you can keep working for extended periods of time.

sometimes i remember that when i arrive at home I'll bet greeted by my kitties and i cry 😭 they're sooooooo good

i have a new phone cover and it's cute

but the therapist was right

it's possible that things could be better than they were before

it's possible to heal your love and have it be stronger

it's possible to replenish it and have there be more of it than there was before

healed fractures grow more bone

the thick gnarled sinew of a strong surviving tree
