🌺row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.

What do we need, and what do we only reach for out of habit? What exhausts, and what nourishes?
Social environments on the internet provide a bountiful — and sometimes incongruous — bundle: conversation, riffing, jokes and shitposts, entertainment, learning, distraction, inspiration, meeting interesting people.
There is no finish line. There is no winning, no losing.
Everything is a Practice.
A practice is the disciplined repetition of what you know with enough experimentation in that repetition to unlock those things you don’t yet know. It is ever-accumulating, and never-ending. It is sometimes painful, but that is the way.
