- Replying to @mayli and @destroytodayEspecially if you add ✅sleep enough every night
- I feel like every creative person needs to have some separate creative outlet that’s low stakes, in which they can do stuff and be unattached, let it go anyone else feel like this? if so what is that thing for you right now? and has it been something else before?
- And some of the most peace-loving hippies I’ve met have been the most hypocritical fragile-egoed misogynist assholes… it happened enough that I sadly developed a prejudice that i have to check myself for now
- Accidentally said the word "designosaur" and I'm not sure what it means yet but I like it

00:00 - Replying to @destroytodayI was not able to do this I think if we all admitted it we could all just feel a bit better (Instead of presenting like we do and then mutually pressuring each other to do something that’s impossible to do without help)
- When Steve Jobs brought us into town hall the day before iPhone was announced he said people always ask him about 5-10 year plans and basically he thought they were bullshit. The world could completely change in 5-10 years and you’d be stuck stupidly sticking to some plan.Not one person who went for a job interview in 2015 got the answer right to, "So where do you see yourself 5 years from now?"
