You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.

Steve Maraboli (via wordsnquotes)

I will read long books and the journals of dead writers. I will feel closer to them than I ever felt to people I used to know before I withdrew from the world. It will be sweet and cool this friendship of mine with dead poets, for I won’t have to touch them or answer their questions. They will talk to me and not expect me to answer. And I’ll get sleepy listening to their voices explain the mysteries to me. I’ll fall asleep with the book still in my fingers, and it will rain.

writing adult emails is awful

its like

hi [name of person],

this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something / ask you something that is vital to my career as a student.

I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you’ll probably just glance over it for half a second.

thanks!

I have a stock format and structure I use.

Dear Person I am Writing To:

This is an optional sentence introducing who I am and work for, included if the addressee has never corresponded with me before. The second optional sentence reminds the person where we met, if relevant. This sentence states the purpose of the email.

This optional paragraph describes in more detail what’s needed. This sentence discusses relevant information like how soon an answer is needed, what kind of an answer is needed, and any information that the other person might find useful. If there’s a lot of information, it’s a good idea to separate this paragraph into two or three paragraphs to avoid having a Wall of Text.

If a description paragraph was used, close with a restatement of the initial request, in case the addressee ignored the opening paragraph.

This sentence is just a platitude (usually thanking them for their time) because people think I’m standoffish, unreasonably demanding, or cold if it’s not included.

Closing salutation,

Signature.

People always ask me how I can fire off work emails so quickly. Nobody has figured out yet that it’s the same email with the details changed as needed.

Best advice I’ve received so far

the time you take being jealous of other people’s success is the time you could be using to build your own

you’re never going to “feel like it”

doing and practicing now is better than waiting for the perfect moment

eliminate people with toxic habits from your life

you are in control. Everything you’ve done up to this moment led you here. Therefore, your future is determined by what you do now.

everything is as it should be and only later in life you can connect the dots.

self discipline will give you freedom. consistency will give you results

everything is temporary. You should find freedom in this concept

the rich stay rich acting poor and the poor stay poor acting rich

being healthy means finding a balance between the good and the bad

the people that outranked you have outworked you.

you can’t be grateful and negative at the same time.

Meditate on these statements. They are so very powerful! Xxx

I don’t understand how people just read one genre, like bitch imma read about magic and dragons and then go over here and read about space and then mayhaps I will venture into the present timeline and read about someone in a city I recognize going through stuff I understand like The Social Media and then I will hop back over to the 18th century because I love me some corsets and relentless gossip from society bitches

We read five words on the first page of a really good novel and we begin to forget that we are reading printed words on a page; we begin to see images.

If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Tallulah Bankhead

It took me a while to figure out, but I now know that our mistakes are what make us and help us grow stronger (depending on how we react to them and whether we keep going despite them).
