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. sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaaaace ⁠https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

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 sel...

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. sending you all love and peaaaaaaaaace! https://stan.store/thezurkie...

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 w...

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. sending you all l...

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 z...

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!!! https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

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! https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

the one thing you can count on in life is that you will feel uncertain. there will be moments where you won't know if the decision you're making is the right one. however, not making a decision is always worse than acknowledging what can go wrong, and how you'll deal with it. you got this. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

if you feel like someone is playing with your emotions, there's a good chance your gut is right. I've learned that it isn't worth waiting for others, take initiative and if it isn't reciprocated, keep moving forward. life is too short. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

real change happens over years, not months. be patient, find things that feel easy for you to do. the more momentum you can build in your life, the more evidence you'll have that you're doing something right. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

you don't have to know your life path, A to Z. all that matters is that you're actively putting yourself in a place to learn and be a better person. Focus on you, focus on learning things in your life right now. there's a good chance your future self will thank you https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

there's a healthy balance between making choices for yourself and keeping others in mind. sometimes, you have to take the reigns yourself. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

listen to how you feel. don't let yourself be gaslit into thinking things are fine when they are not. it's a good sign it's not for you. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

lower the threshold, don't expect so much out of yourself. focus on building momentum over trying to impress others. people who are as smart as you have figured it out, why can't it be you? sending you love and peaaaaaace! https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

as a chronic over thinker, I've learned that sometimes its better to do something, make a mistake, and then learn from it. not everything will be perfect. not everything needs to be perfect. you got this. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

it's a good feeling to know you were right all along, especially when someone comes running back to you. but shouldn't we be skeptical? or should we accept them regardless. I think it depends on if they deserve to be in our lives. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

"what's your major?" is a good start, but "what's something that reminds you of home?" shows genuine interest. if you want to connect with someone, open yourself up to learning about them. it also might get you closer to going on a $60 date at Chili's. sending you love and peaaaaace :) https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

I apologize. I want to do better, but I need to let my actions speak. Love you guys, sending love and peaaaaaace. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

it's easy to be critical and blame ourselves for not being "perfect"... but admitting we aren't where we want to be takes character. find ways to work with yourself, not against. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

one bad apple can ruin an entire orchard, but that's only if we assume that the rest of the batch is spoiled. there is someone meant for you. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

before you send that "wyd" text, ask yourself if it's worth the past, the pain and the regret. if it is, yolo. full send it. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

people will always have something to say about something they don't know anything about. they will always want to bring you down. don't let it happen. time will pass, and soon they'll be asking you for help. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow
