literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
being a jack of all trades master of none is actually so awesome bc i can make the shittest clay sculpture and the ugliest drawing and the sloppiest painting and the worst hand stitches and the wonkiest earrings and it’s like. who cares + now im surrounded by lots of different silly things i made with love and care etc
My great uncle, who loved cooking and engineering and traveling and far too many other things, always used to say:
“Among the cooks, I am the best engineer, and among the engineers I am the best cook.”
I love that. It’s one of the things I try to live by.
