if you don't catch yourself in a pattern, it will always repeat.

this is why self reflection is so important to make the changes we want to see in ourselves. ignore these small decisions, and you will see them compound over time.

be mindful of the decisions you make and the way you feel about them.

you need to rekindle the joy you felt as a kid and find a way to embrace it as an adult. if not, then you risk searching for it in places that might not be the best for you.we don't have fun because we choose not to have fun.if you didn't have a good childhood, I'm sorry. the one thing I urge you to consider is this; "how would I treat myself if I were the parent of my younger self?" reclaim the bad as your own. you'll be proud that you did so.send you all love and peaaaaaaaaaace!https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

it's a dilemma we all face.

we want money because it will "make us happy" and then we nearly destroy ourselves to obtain it.

maybe our relationship with money and status signaling is the problem? or maybe I need to put down my Rick Rubin book...

the truth is, there is no real answer. it's only what matters more to us. you decide.

your rejections don't define you. the way in which you move past them does. maybe that "no" was the best thing that could have ever happened to you.it's all in the way we view our own adversity.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaaace!https://stan.store/thezurkieshow

I used to sit on snapchat on my free time, peering into the lives of people I barely knew. in my mind, it felt like I was going through a never ending hell while they lived their best lives.

the fear of missing out drove me to seek out things I felt I deserved. it drove me to do things that were completely out of my character. it wasn't until my second semester of college that I realized... this wasn't who I wanted to be.

I urge you to address your fear.

the romanticization of overachieving is so real. I feel like success used to be measure in consistency and focus, not in how many college club meetings you can attend in one night.

I think we have to learn our limits and we have to know when it's time to just scale back what we do. It's better to do less and do it exceptionally well than fail at doing way too many things.

I used to love toxicity. I loved when I didn't get a text back because I was being ignored or punished. I loved hearing my partner beg me to stay.

isn't love supposed to be something you can feel? or is that just something we tell ourselves to cope with our bad choices...

all of that chasing led me to a path of self destruction, until I found myself at ground zero. if this is your ground zero, I ask you to keep an open mind.

you deserve better, you deserve to be you, you can change.

love you, peaaaaaaaaaace!!!

we all care what other people think. it's inevitable. we want to fit in, we want to feel like we belong. but maybe taking someone's opinion as fact is depriving you from joy you never knew existed.

if you feel like trying something out would benefit your life, give it a shot. sometimes nuanced perspectives do more harm than good.
love you, peaaaaaaace!!!

I used to be the first person to find a distraction from my feelings. after years of feeling worse and worse about myself and my relationships, I ended up figuring out that I just needed to face the quiet. I needed to let people talk before I put words in their mouth.sending you all love and peaaaaaaaace!
