im serious about that\u00a0\u201cstop saving things for special occasions\u201d bit tho like. even if u aren\u2019t in your 20s. thats for everyone. its one of the most useful things ive learned lately<\/p>\n

stop! just stop. eat the special snack. drink the expensive hippie tea. use the incense or the bath bomb or whatever you paid way too much for because you were feeling really bad and retail therapy makes u feel alive<\/p>\n

when we save things for special occasions\/rainy days it contributes to us feeling like A.) our day to day existence is lackluster and B.) you have to be feeling a certain level of Bad, or have to reach a certain level of Socially Accepted Achievement, to enjoy things<\/p>\n

just give yourself stuff. there are definitely sometimes reasons to withhold things from yourself – as motivation, if it\u2019s something you consciously want to use sparingly, etc – but at least for me half the time it just turns into self-flagellation and also cool things and cool experiences and nice treats just collect dust while i wait for some fabled day when i convince myself i finally Deserve it<\/p>\n

just fuckin give yourself stuff dude. life\u2019s so mindblowingly short<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

my grandmother died having only used her china like twice in her life. during the year or so before her death, she was starting to package up and give things of hers to her kids, and gave mom the china while sighing \u201coh i wish i had used the china more!\u201d and mom tried so hard to convince her to just keep it, then, and eat corny dogs off it if she wanted. she insisted she couldn\u2019t possibly, you need a special reason to use the fine china.<\/p>\n

when nana died, we used her fine china as our everyday dishes for years. i was 18 when she died, and never really stopped having that in the back of my head. <\/p>\n

now, when i hear myself say \u201ci wish i had a reason to wear\/do\/eat\/use X!\u201d i hear nana regretting never really using her china. and let me tell you a thing:<\/p>\n

spaghettios taste great when eaten from fine china.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

more good philosophies for 2016<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
