Quotes to ponder:

"Other people’s movement tends to make us hyper-aware of our stagnation, and in an attempt to justify our lack of action, we simply talk poorly about others."

"Whenever I found myself lost in a thought spiral, I am instantly transported out of the moment, and my consciousness is so lost in my mind, concerned with whatever new thing I have found to concern myself with."

"No one in the history of the world actually knew what they were doing, they just made up everything as they went along and then handed down that made up stuff to their ancestors, AKA you."
