#insulating yourself from your wants is not true innoculation from doing terrifying shit

[persimmonteas]

in 2024, don't reject yourself first!!! have a healthy ego! reach out to your friends or people you think are cool to hang out!!! apply for that job!! ask for that raise!!! see somebody cute?? ask them out!!! start that hobby, join that club, who fucking cares if you suck at first!!! the worst thing you can do is reject your wants. you're teaching yourself that you don't matter when it's your life and it deeply matters.

#insulating yourself from your wants is not true innoculation from doing terrifying shit #the true advice for starting anything new is to google the basic starting steps #and then just go #then iterate from there #fuck it we ball life is short most things aren't irreversible #on earth we're briefly gorgeous #if people think you're strange let them the world is vast and they aren't your people
