Today i got a flat tire and had to put my spare on. I pulled into a grocery store parking lot and got the job done. A few people came over to offer help, one guy had an impact drill so helped me tighten the bolts, but i felt confident that i knew what i was doing.
I donāt think most people would look at me and think āyeah i bet she can change a tire in that outfit.ā but i did it. It feels good to know how to do stuff. I like being able to do silly little tasks around my apartment, or change my own oil, or make a creme brulee. Iām learning french. I can mend my clothes. It feels like im just bragging but truly i feel so accomplished and grown up when i can fix small problems by myself.
May this be your motivation to watch a how-to YouTube video today. Or ask someone you love to teach you how to do something that might come in handy one day.

today I taught myself how to do something Iāve been wanting to learn for years. All it took was some mental determination and YouTube and ~voila~ joy forever. The gift that keeps giving.

Iāve learned almost everything I know from a book (checking out library books for my hobbies) but also YouTube and friends.books and friends are nice when I feel simply overwhelmed with how much information exists on the internet about how to do literally anyrhing
YouTube can help you with sillypractical skillsā¦ learning how to unjam my lock, unclog my drains, etc etc
For other skills, befriend older ppl or friends that āhave their shit togetherā
Most friends are happy to teach you something or even walk alongside you while you do taxes, apartment hunt, or cook a steak :) i love when my friends teach me stuff
And b patient with yourself. You canāt know everything and youāre not gonna learn it all overnight. Take small steps and stay learnin š«”

Today i cleaned everything. Vacuumed, mopped, baseboards, dusted, doors, windows, did laundry, organized closet, took a bag to the thrift store, etc etc etc.
Now laying in bed watching a movie with some candles lit, eating popcorn twists. Tomorrow I clean my car.

some days u want to go to the gym before work. Some days u dont. On the days you feel like staying in bed, wake up at the same time and throw on a movie. Nothing heavy in the mornings for me, but a nice romcom or something silly sets the day up so well. I feel so excited to wake up if i have something fun to watch - like setting out an outfit the night before but instead im picking a movie
