I thought if I didn’t speak on certain things it meant I wasn’t giving it power over me, but silence doesn’t make me feel free.

there’s hating your old work and then there’s being thankful for the growth. be thankful for the growth.

Naomi Osaka did an interview and said when she wins she feels more “relieved” than “happy”. And that’s how I feel as of late, I’m always “relieved” to get promoted, or to get a good grade or do well. It’s like “whew, glad that’s over” instead of “I’m proud of myself”.

i wanted to write about remembering nothing, but the hard you put in and how that feels like nothing sometimes. i wanted to write about my father. i wanted to understand him better.
