“Conservative early, liberal late.

Create structure, so you can have freedom.

Create your weather, so you can blow in the wind.

Map your direction, so you can swerve in the lanes.

Clean up, so you can get dirty.

Choreograph, then dance.

Learn to read and write, before you start making up words.

Check if the pool has water in it, before you dive in.

Learn to sail, before you fly.

Initiations, before inaugurations.

Earn your Saturdays.

We need discipline, guidelines, context and responsibility early in any new endeavor.

It’s the time to sacrifice. To learn, to observe, to take heed.

If and when we get knowledge of the space, the craft, the people and the plan.

Then we can let our freak flag fly and create.

Creativity needs borders.

Individuality needs resistance.

The earth needs gravity.

Without them there is no form. No art. Only Chaos.”

- Mathew McConaughey, Greenlights

Book review: Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey🚦

As the title suggests, this memoir tries to help you look at life as a traffic light; where red means stop, yellow means slow down, & green means go, & how you could turn the red & yellow lights into green lights.

Although this book was written as a memoir, it doesn't feel like one because it was less "look at all the things I've done!" & more "here are x, y, & z things I went through, & here's what I learned", & more than anything it brings you back down to earth & realize that just because you think you know someone because of how they choose to portray themselves in the public eye; you actually don't know anything about them at all.

I absolutely loved this book, it was - & is - by far the best book I have read in a very very VERY long time, & I think everyone should read it - whether you're into memoirs or not. You won't regret it.

It's beautiful, gut-wrenching, touching, & educational all at the same time.

I truly could go on & on & on about this book, & still not be able to do it justice.🤍

5/5 (in terms of writing, context, & content - just everything was *chef's kiss*)⭐⭐⭐⭐

Reigniting Growth

“Most growth happens as a result of many small steps. The key is to keep taking them.” Resolutions and goals often start with grand ambitions, but the road to success is paved with more than just excitement. The real challenge lies in turning those dreams into reality through consistent action and a clear plan. Setting ambitious goals is inspiring, but without a solid strategy and daily…

“We must be aware of what we attract in life because it is no accident or coincidence. The spider waits in his web for dinner to come. Yes, we must chase what we want, seek it out, cast our lines in the water, but sometimes we don’t need to make things happen. Our souls are infinitely magnetic.”

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love EDM music (and music in general). There is just something about the beats and rhythm of the genre that makes me feel so alive! I absolutely adore the EDM group "Krewella" and "Greenlights" is one of my all-time favorite songs by them. For me, it never gets old, but then again, none of their music gets old for me!
