almost nothing makes sense when isolated as an end-in-itself; meaning is inherently ecological

You need to be service maxxing, looking for every opportunity to be of service to others and forgetting about yourself in the process.

True humility is the only antidote for shame.

I work best from a place of zero ego and zero hope. I call this state being “lower than a worm.” A feeling that nothing will ever come of what I’m working on is crucial. A feeling of my smallness in relation to the world. I gotta be below the dirt. I am nothing and nobody. That frees me up. Who cares what a worm thinks, you know?

Humans aren’t meant to excavate their inner feelings until they find their “true self.” We become ourselves in relation, not through introspection.

if you're dealing with insecurity or impostor syndrome I recommend not having a life narrative. you can just do your best at whatever task and connect with whomever seems to welcome connection if you're not worried how it fits into your life story
