Make friends. It is dangerous to go alone. You heal yourself by helping others. Be kind and serve others. We can do more together than we can do alone.
Find out how you are fucked up. “They fuck you up your mom and dad, they don’t mean to but they do…” You inherited all sorts of bullshit that you don’t even know.
Own your shit and fix it. You will... See more

I think for years I was looking at my feet, I couldn’t look people straight in the eye, I was uncomfortable, I mean uncomfortable all the time, whereas today I enjoy being uncomfortable. It amuses me to understand that, yes, I have many doubts, that is what makes me alive, in fact. It allows me to move forward, I really like it.
I love not being uptight and I aspire for that
Photography is the Exchanging of Hearts -- Walkie Talkie w/ Sara Messinger (ep. 44)
youtube.comThere’s this whole thing about street photography where, if you want “authenticity” you’re supposed to steal shots, and just assault people with your camera. That always felt wrong and strange and uncomfortable to me, and this is just another reminder (a necessary reminder) that you can do things however you want.

youtube.comI think about homelessness often but I feel like Andrew helped me make sense of it in a completely new way. Incredible access that humanizes. He brings you along on a journey of meeting these people and figuring out how to help and just when it feels like you’re on the right path, everything turns upside down and you're forced to reckon with a much more complicated reality.
Do We Have Free Will? | Robert Sapolsky & Andrew Huberman
youtube.comRS just puts it better. I like to listen to this from time to time to remember what conscious life actually is and how change works.
It’s really just a question of financial security versus your psychic security, because of the time you afford yourself, or being on your own schedule. My energy gets really easily polluted by my environment, and if I’m in an environment that is really in opposition to myself for a very long time, it’s very hard for me to feel like I have the...

Cristine Brache • On holding yourself to a higher standard
In a world full of people who seem to know everything, passionately, based on little (often slanted) information, where certainty is often mistaken for power, what a relief it is to be in the company of someone confident enough to stay unsure (that is, perpetually curious).
