Genuary 11: Do something that feels impossible

I got TouchDesigner running in Linux, which feels like it shouldn't work, and definitely has some issues, but it's usable. I usually try to use open source software as much as I can, but I've always been jealous of how smooth the feedback in TD is.

How I Ruined My Credit at 19 😭 (and Fixed It)
When I was 19, I got my first credit card with a $525 limit… and I treated it like free money 😭. I was buying little “treats” here and there — coffee, skincare, random Target runs — thinking minimum payments were no big deal. Then the interest hit. Then the late fees. My balance felt impossible

Most people quit journaling for the same reason.

They think they're doing it wrong. They buy a beautiful notebook… Write a few entries… Then stop because it feels awkward, forced, or pointless. But here’s the truth: There is no single “correct” journaling technique. The best journaling method is simply the one that works for you

No one sees the work we do behind the scenes in becoming who we are. We all have our personal life, work, studies working in the background and still some of us take the leap and explore new opportunities. It’s beautiful to have the privilege to manage all of it together.💜

If you’ve ever started a journal and then stopped,
you’re not alone. Most people think it’s a “discipline” problem. But really? It’s an emotional one. When we slow down enough to listen, the noise inside gets loud. So we scroll. We clean. We promise we’ll start again next Monday. The trick isn’t forcing yourself to write more. It’s learni
