When you go mountain climbing, the first thing you’re told is not to look at the peak but to keep your eyes on the ground as you climb. You just keep climbing patiently one step at a time. If you keep looking at the top, you’ll get frustrated. I think writing is similar.

Writing is bouldering, bouldering is writing
Bouldering is anti-flow. A lot of it is just sitting around staring at the wall until you’re ready to make another attempt. Just like writing! And the sheer frustration of it, you come to find, is also the thing that keeps you interested—is even the fun part?
Writing is bouldering, bouldering is writing
Bouldering and writing: They are all reaching, grasping, straining, scooting, slipping, and falling—and falling and falling and falling—with the very occasional bliss of a completed ascent, after which you immediately move on to a new problem that you can’t quite solve.

The inside jokes, the strange rituals, the unrecognizable symbols... these are the things that make a community feel like magic.

#108: Humanism and the conversation of the ages (feat. Sarah Bakewell)
There are many shades of humanism, but at their core lies a belief that understanding, connection, and even mutual admiration among different kinds of people is not only possible but paramount to a meaningful life

Zamenhof’s goal was not just to create a language that was easy to learn, but to create a language that would put the different peoples of Europe on a footing of mutual disadvantage—and therefore, he hoped, equality.

Decolonialism is about humility, the acceptance that there are many realities and truths outside one, that there are a multiplicity of ways of life, and we should all be allowed to choose. One way is never the only way, and one way is never the only right way.

the key is intention. Working intentionally. Working thoughtfully. Setting hours. Thinking, in advance, about what is “enough.”
