under pressure

social media has normalized the “it girl” aesthetic, where we set goals and are constantly busy and productive. I think it’s time to normalize not having a goal or a place to be. it’s time to learn to slow down and do ~nothing~. enjoy this little rant about the anti-productivity movement. grab some tea or don’t. enjoy.
