Excuse me while I cry like a fucking baby, but I showed my grandma my VR headset for my phone today. I loaded up the basic Google cardboard app and showed her around and she was so amazed. I told her we could even boot up Google Earth. We took her to Paris and to her childhood home and to the Grand Canyon and a bunch of other places she’s always wanted to visit. My brother and I are helping her navigate around and she’s just so... Fuck. There aren’t even words to describe how elated and fascinated and.. breathtaken she was. My brother and I were crying because she’s just so happy to be able to “visit” these places and to be able to help her experience those things was amazing.

Long story short I now wanna start a charity that brings VR tech to nursing homes so the old folks can experience the sights and sounds they’ve always wanted to in life

one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.

DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU’RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.

One of my college professors used to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.”  I didn’t understand that for years because I didn’t do anything poorly, I couldn’t do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly.

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting.  Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.  Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.  Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly… because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.

Gentleness is so important. Gentleness of the heart. Gentleness of the spirit. Gentleness in one’s aura. Gentleness in one’s own motivations and actions. Gentleness that is both embodied and practiced.
