Road Back (1:03 mins in): (Mentions: @taraschuster) “Life is short. Don’t be a dick”. Know who you are. Be ok with learning what makes you tick. Do not fear feeling. Sit with yourself. Self-reflect. Don’t overgeneralize. Move out of black and white thinking. Live in the grey. Allow room for mistakes. You don’t know what you don’t know. True self care is self awareness. Take time to digest information. Foster curiosity.
