hey younger me,
this morning i had a surprising conversation with my favorite späti owner.
he dropped something that really hit home for me.
"you know, life is too short to be stressed. we all just need to learn to take things a little more lightly and loosen up a bit." and honestly? i think that's the whole fucking point.
look, we're all gonna die. that's just the reality of it.
and the way we fill those limited days between being born and dying? it shouldn't feel so damn hard or tight or serious all the time.
i know you're gonna spend years thinking everything is life or death. that every decision, every failure, every success carries this massive weight.
but here's what i've learned:
loosening up a little, taking life not so seriously – that's actually the best way to live.
this whole thing reminded me of something i've been thinking about a lot lately: effortless action.
i genuinely believe the best things happen when they feel effortless. easy. light, even.
when you're not forcing it.
when you're not white-knuckling your way through.
when you can actually breathe.
that's the state i'm chasing now. and it's the state i wish you'd chase too, instead of burning yourself out trying to control everything.
trust me on this one.
the späti owner gets it. and maybe it's time we did too.
take it easy,
your older self
