It's never too late! Get into sport as an adult! I came in second last in my high school triathlon. 10 years later, I lapped the field in my first crit race. Nothing has built my confidence more than consistent training and competition (strava, racing, even personal goals).
the reason doing elite sports puts you ahead of the Game early on is because developing a positive, gravitational relationship to discomfort—understanding that doing the uncomfortable thing gets you the desirable thing—is one of the most valuable beliefs you can hold as an adult.
Realizing I haven't made an entry in this journal in a while. Wondering if it's because: a) I'm dwelling less on my mistakes b) I'm making fewer mistakes c) I'm playing it too safe
I recently started keeping a 'mistakes journal' - whenever I feel like I missed the mark on something or feel weird about how I handled something, I write down: • What happened and why I didn't like it • What I would do differently next time It's been useful to coach myself…
Proud of this. Consistent movement, third trimester right around the corner. Lots of walking, backyard strength workouts, and time in the basement gym. Grateful to be feeling good, and motivated to keep it up as long as I can.

Trying to align an animation in jitter to a particular bpm. Chatgpt saving frustration breaking down timing.
Tell me why it took me until I was 30 to realize that you can just mix different types of chips together in a bowl and every bite is a little surprise, and if you’re feeling wild you can throw some chocolate in too? Big move from being a child that didn’t like my food to touch.
Feeling the baby kick makes me feel like a biological computer running some sort of ancient code in the background. I’m not actively doing anything to grow new life, but there they are, moving more every day.
The confidence that comes from building something for yourself is unmatched. It’s not just something “other people” do. It’s something you can do. To earn more money, to build your skills, or just to see if you can. Worth it in every way.
It’s so funny to look back when I quit my job to start Oratory, I wasn’t sure if I would even be able to replace my salary in the first year But everyone around me who I talked to had extreme confidence that I’d make at least double my salary working for myself At the time, I…
