73. Pretty pity parties and making ugly art on purpose

• It’s always okay to throw yourself a pity party with a nice cake
• Sometimes it helps to google basic for-dummies shit --- like DO I HAVE ALL THE PIES
• You are guaranteed to miss out on almost everything life has to offer, and that is what makes your choices meaningful (thanks a lot Oliver Burkeman)
• By the time you’re 32 you know a little somethin somethin about tomorrow (and the next day)
• Does striving for things ultimately push them away? Who knows, man
