Comfort is the softest shackles
Your butthole is fine the way it is
Not every squeak merits grease
You must seek the truth, not approval
Vibes beget vibes
We are all swimming in the same pool
It gets worse before it gets better
Pack an umbrella and sunscreen
Do the math and you can do anything
You can figure the darn thing out
Perfectionism isn't cute
You are not even perfectly imperfect
Certainty is a feeling, not a fact
The truth is what we believe for now
You do, in fact, have to know what you want
Acceptance is living in harmony with what is unchosen
Sometimes you need a break
Breaks are how you learn to start again
Someone has to decide
Every conga line starts somewhere
A cry for help can look like anything
What is expressed is not always what is meant
Turn complaints into observations
You might not have beef with the universe
There is no story without a bad guy
You are a summit of forces in opposition
There is no neutral
Everyone and everything is pointed at something
Read a book more than once
You might unlearn something
You can't do everything
But there is one thing you can do
Beware the dark side of growth
What you get is what you leave behind
Be the one not talking
To learn about yourself, keep talking
There can't be this many bests
If you want to stop seeking, all you have to do is see
Invite play into your process
Just say no to drudge
Darkness is not the same as evil
A hurricane can’t be evil, nor can the universe
Approach the unsaid corners
How the sound of silence reverberates still
Don't research and write at the same time
Put down the shovel before you pick up the pen
Don’t fake it until you make it
It’s OK to be a work in progress
Limit your ratio of meta to reality
Hey kids, let's go outside already
Someone has to take notes
Or the meeting didn't happen, and I would like my time back
Stack sentences for clearer writing
Write line-by-line to clear your mind
Orient toward heartbreak
Heartbreak is evidence that your heart works at all
The waste is what works
With mild apologies to the Atlassian corporation
Tell your friends you love them
Because you do
Don't ask why
When it is time to ask, you will not need to
Find a new cliché
A blister-packed sandwich just ain't worth it
Do a little more than you should
Only because you can, not because you have to
Honor your opponent
May you be blessed with the gift of a rival
First fix, then rename
Before you turn on that labelmaker, pick up a wrench
Routine is doing what you want
You need a rhythm before you can break into a solo
Make your process recite-able
To do what you say, you must be able to say what you do
All words sow seeds of sway
Everything means something, even if you don't know what it is
Your days are numbered
Don't say I didn't warn you
Don’t worry about conversations before you have them
What matters is that you’re communicating
Secrets are like termites
You can never lie to yourself, so don't even try
Turn off the firehose
Which voices will you invite into your mind?
You do not welcome all feedback
Because you have boundaries, darling
Nothing is on fire
Methinks you need something better to do
Decide how you want to procrastinate
Write a few stories at the same time
Sip before you swig
You can choose how much to move
Don't get sucked into the vortex
Protect your peace and your carpets
You are not your thoughts
The mind is a noisy place
There is no such place as maybe
Every "maybe" can be smashed like a Kinder egg
You always feel better after a bike ride
Learn where your light switch is
