i’ve spent a lot of my * career * accomplishing life goals, but barely noticing because i’ve been so quick to push the finish line further, if you get me.
it goes something like this- throughout childhood, maybe you follow a blog, maybe it’s key in forming the foundations of your taste. for YEARS the dream is to grace the pixels of the holy fork. and then, it happens, they review the record, they say nice things, and just like that you understand it’s possible. you’re playing ball in a new league, so you keep playing, you know what it takes so you play hard, and barely notice the w.
this past week i rolled out a project that i’ve been working on for a long time. it’s not linked here because that’s not what i’m recommending- i’m taking my own gd advice and taking a gd sec to be pumped i made things and am showing them to people.
i am not enlightened; i will get back to relentlessly “marketing” in no time. for now though, it’s cool to make a thing, so i made a cool thing, and now i think it’s cool i made that thing.
i recommend remembering to take 1 sec to remember it’s cool you made a thing, because it’s cool you made a thing. you can find my thing on my page, send me yr thing too so i can be like “cool hell yeah.”

this mindset was taught to me when i first started running (thank you coach she’s a real one 🥹) and i guess this applies in other aspects of life, like building habits.
also this is a very personal fuck you to perfectionism bc i finally finished updating my 2024 portfolio wooooooo
celebrating incremental progress and focusing on building momentum is better than letting perfectionism drag you down 🙂↕️

You’re almost there. Resist rushing through it. Take your time. Take a break. Keep going. Do it well. Reward yourself. Get that completion dopamine, then enjoy a sweet treat for your efforts (or whatever feels nice to you). Soon you’ll have a body of work. It feels good to see it accumulate.

i am a hoodie enthusiast of the highest order. these things are goated beyond all measure. i live in chicago, my boxer husky mix wants to go out all day long in -5°, you can trust me on the subject of warmth. gq wrote a longform piece on how cool this brand is, and as far as i can tell, they’ve got a perfect balance of integrity, humility, and drip.
if a carhartt hoodie is a toyota prius, then a camber hoodie is a volvo from the nineties that somehow looks like a porsche, but cool, if that makes sense lol. thermal lining goes as hard as the website. i just simply need you to trust me.
