2. you made a mistake because you’re human

3. “You teach people how to treat you”

4. “and then i remember that life will go on, whether i choose to board the train or stay on the platform.” -from a poetry book i read years ago

5. You don’t need to deep clean your house everyday for it to be considered clean.

   Literally never realized people were probably deep cleaned once every week or 2 weeks but just had a surface level of cleanliness. It stressed me out so much when I started living on my own and I just felt like I wasn’t good enough as a human. I started living in mess because it was so overwhelming which made it so much worse.

6. “Don’t become a public success, and a private failure”

   hearing that early on when I first started working has made me always prioritize a decent work-life balance. It rings true especially now as I’m getting older and seeing a lot of people in my field who didn’t do that for various reasons, and they complain about their home life being in disarray but they’re amazing at work.

7. “You have a 100% track record of getting through bad days”

8. “It is what it is”
