the older i get, the more i‘ve realized that it’s okay to GTFO of situations that aren’t serving you. i’m not saying run or quit as soon as something gets hard, because challenges are how we grow and change. i’m saying listen to your intuition, find and follow your north star. you will know when it’s time.
your workplace treating you badly or your job wearing you out? start looking for something else.
in a relationship that’s toxic or that you can’t sparkle and thrive inside of? advocate for yourself and get out.
your living situation bad for a myriad of reasons? start looking at your finances and figure out if you can move.
all of this is to say, it is your life! be an active participant in it. i’ve quit jobs, apps, relationships, apartments, vices, etc. there is no shame in leaving the party early.

it's simply the best. you wanna leave? just go! don't say anything to anyone. do you have trouble with friends who love prolonged goodbyes or friends who try to convince you to stay longer? not anymore. you're already halfway home before anyone even realizes you're gone. "you should have said goodbye!" well, maybe i saw my opportunity to vamoose and took it! they should be saying, "you're a visionary, a true go-getter!" anyway, it's the most satisfying move to pull in any social situation and i recommend you do it whenever you can.

Top Recs from @caskeyc
🗓
1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
