The world can feel like an overwhelming and confusing place. But it doesn’t always have to be. So here are 4 ideas/bits of inspiration on storytelling, our greatest tool for decoding life:

Days are short, years are long — Most days, I don’t feel particularly productive. I don’t usually feel like I got a lot done at the end of a day and I never get all the way through my to-do list.

As I entered adulthood, I felt an intense pressure to establish myself in the world. I was looking for safety and security. My way of chasing this down was by working and making money

I believe that we always have the chance to shape the world. That we are shaping the world whether we like it or not.

Just a little over a year ago, my life (and many lives around the world), took a dramatic shift in a direction I couldn’t have imagined.

As many of you know, learning languages is something I’m very passionate about.

“Less is more. It’s also less. That’s the point.” I think I read this line in some comment section or as part of a review of some product online. I don’t remember exactly, it doesn’t matter really, but the words stuck with me.

I think the decision of beginning a new project or endeavor boils down to whether or not you’re okay with not acting on your curiosities.

The truly important things in life will cost what they cost, and the rest doesn’t matter.

Don’t try to be interesting, just worry about doing the boring things really well and there will be interesting consequences.
