You see, muscle, muscle is created by repeating lifting things that have been designed to weigh us down, so when your shoulder is feeling heavy, stand up straight, lift your chin, hell, call it exercise.

Remember that life is a gym membership with a really complicated cancellation policy.
Remember that you will survive.
Remember, things could be worse.
Remember, we have never ever given anything that we can’t handle.
When the world crumbles around you, you have to look at the wreckage, and then build a new one out of all the pieces that are still here.
Remember, you are still here.

The human heart beats approximately 4000 times per hour, and each pulse, each throb, each palpitation is a trophy, engraved with the words, You Are Still Alive.
You are still alive.
Act like it.
I absolutely loved this Rudy Francisco poem so I had to pay it forward

Life is a series of idles,
waiting for something to happen

Find someone who fills those stop-sign-breaks
with love

I plot
I ponder
Some days I simply persist

If time dilates when one moves at high speeds
Does it contract when one moves barely at all
A beautiful quote from a beautiful book
When breath becomes air by Paul Kalanithi

Wise men say
Only fools rush in

But there’s no way
To find what can’t be found

Twinkle twinkle little star
Within my heart you’ve hid so far

I dig deep but not to find
All the feelings I’ve felt and left behind

With you

If you can find joy in a walk
Does IT ever really matter?
Emmett Apr 2020
A tilled life of memories
That, once your gone,
You never get to enjoy
