(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

i get teary-eyed every morning when i make tea because it's the same way my father made tea when i lived at home: black leaves swirling in boiling water, no sugar, cut a lemon wedge, squeeze and drop it in the cup, take a loud sip, then lean back, be enthralled by the loveliness of occasion, and murmur "ohhh." one day i'll have to remind him of our daily ritual and his trembling hands will struggle with the cup, one day i'll be the only one who remembers it and i'll misplace the steps, one day i'll be gone, and this, too, will cease to exist.
