I convinced my fav professor from
undergrad to be my mentor despite many objections from her about “I don’t mentor students blah blah blah” and now 5ish years later it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Now I just get to hang out with someone I adore and admire on the regular and it just makes my heart soar every time we catch up. What a treat!

Joined a mentorship program through my zen center and 🥲 cant rec enough 🥲 my mentor is amazing lady who used to do professional astrology reading but now runs the center and spends her free time doing habitat restoration and curling (?? so hardcore wtf). She sits by me during zazen and gives me a big hug every time i come in 😭

getting to learn from someone with a lot of wisdom and experience in your field feels so so special <333 feels primal somehow, too - i think it activates the part of my brain that evolved to absorb oral histories

I’m addicted to talking to younger (or older) people interested in applying to the school program I finished last year.
It’s one thing you can do to actually impact someone!!!!
For those of you nervous about networking, just know the person you’re contacting might be like me (really excited to talk to you).

I was going through the Ignatian approach to education today (adapted from the Spiritual Exercises for those keeping track at home) and this tenet is just so good.
St. Ignatius says that a person, “ought to be more eager to put a good interpretation on a neighbor’s statement than to condemn it.Further, if one cannot interpret it favorably, one should ask how the other means it. If the meaning is wrong, one should correct the person with love; if this is not enough, one should search out every appropriate means through which, by understanding the statement in a good way, it may be saved.”
This is very Hanlon’s razor (never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity/ignorance) and I just feel like having a curious posture like this is a major slay and makes us better people

Like look at this shit. Just kinda sick tbh. The Eastern church invented maximalism which is just very slay for them (even if you aren't into God or whatever I feel like you can enjoy old buildings with tons of art everywhere)
