Danny tying the game with 15.4 seconds left in regulation against the Red Wings. Never had i been so happy to go to OT
and a streak was snapped
vancouver canucks: most overrated team
brief moment of panic when everyone (minus Danny) wasn’t sure if Hank was injured or not
Coach V losing it over Fiddler’s Bieksa impression
make as much light as you possibly can in this world
go everywhere, do everything, meet everyone
don’t be afraid to be sad when you feel sad
or angry or lonely or uncreative or anything demonized by people who are too ignorant to see how incredibly powerful and important it is to understand and be in touch with the things you feel
make as many other people feel seen and understood as you can
acknowledge someone when they speak to you, greet you, or show you human decency
trust actions, not words
listen to all of the music
eat good stuff
make things when you can
say things when you think them
never let being scared be the reason you don’t do something that matters to you
respect your pace
respect other people’s paces
take a minute to be absolutely blown away by how completely beyond anything your imagination could have concocted this world can be whenever it happens
ask questions
tip well
make people laugh until it hurts and isn’t funny and they’re crying and maybe farting a little
appreciate the magic in getting to know someone
never stop loving people fucking wholeheartedly
let your heart really, really break
sew yourself back together afterwards and be a smarter person for it
eye contact
never be afraid to be ugly. Joan Rivers used to tell a joke about how a man never reached up a woman’s skirt looking for a library card, and while I get it, he’s usually not looking for a hot vag either. At least not anatomically. He’s looking for something that’s gonna make him feel happy, even if it’s just for a minute. Don’t put your self esteem in the basket where you keep your ability to get someone else off. Anyone could fuck you, but you get to be you. Love that shit holistically. Respect it and revel in it and enjoy it as a separate experience. Literally anyone could love you at your most successful or sexiest, but you get to love you when you’re hungover and insecure and peering into a mirror at 5 AM wondering what the hell you’re doing with yourself. The latter is a privilege. It’s a lot more rewarding and you need to be awake and strong enough to be there for yourself. To bear witness to yourself.
don’t be too cool for Top 40 radio
actually, just don’t worry about being cool whenever possible
I wrote this probably more as a letter to myself than anything, but here you are just the same my babies.
