Things I learned 2023:
Compliments from others should always be of lesser value to you than the intrinsic understanding of your worth. When the stock market of compliments dip, you may crash
You cannot confront your fears if you run away from its triggers.
If you do not have atleast 3-4 Whatsapp groups with them...are they even your friends?
In 2024, people will receive invoices for sessions I have with my therapist. If they are willing to sponsor them emotionally, they best sponsor them financially too. ;D
When creating art, you mustn't let the technical ability silence the story you are trying to tell.
Comparison can be a deadly poison. I don't want it anywhere near my students without checking its dosage.
You can be completely holy and completely devilish to the same person. Our humanity is much too nuanced for the idea of an exclusive "either/or". There's a sweet sense of freedom in approaching dualism this way.
Pride is the greatest accompaniment to fear. The greater the pride the bigger the fear.
Collective success individual credit.
