The Moon is closer during a supermoon and you will be able to tell, because it looks so much bigger and brighter, but your photos of it will still suck.
You can still send me the photos you took, and I will appreciate them, as well as appreciate that you thought of me when you saw the Moon. No, I am not tired of talking about it.
It is a long road that has no turning.
If you hit glue three Lego bricks along the side of your desk, and then attach three Lego mini figures on them, they can hold your charging cords and you can have Darth Vader or whoever holding your iPhone charger. This will be so much more work than just letting the chargers fall to the floor, and you will need to make a video about it to put on Instagram so you can tell people about it and hope to justify the time and effort you expended. It will not be worth it.
You don’t need a bread basket. You can just put your bread in the pantry, with the peanut butter and other ingredients. It will be ok.
If you buy a seasonal bath mat your kids picked out, the citrus fruits motif with the phrase “welcome summer” will feel weird by the end of September.
Enough is as good as a feast.
If you add a bunch of unnecessary stuff to your Amazon cart, you can check the prices each morning instead of reading the headlines, and feel a little better but somehow also a little worse about the course of your day.
The sun is important to your wellbeing. You should do whatever you can to see it as often as possible, and ideally to feel it on your skin at least once a day. This is hard to achieve when you are sad, but it is even more important then.
Health is better than wealth.
If you go for a walk, you will feel better, but you will not feel the truth of this until after the walk has begun. The improved mood that results from a walk can happen or not happen depending on whether you are wearing your shoes. This superposition of emotional states is a fact of quantum physics.
The road to hell is paved with slick grease sold by absolutely idiotic ill-intentioned liars, and many things are sliding down it, even now, but we have ways to stop this slide, which not enough of us are using. We must stop the paving and slickening of the road to hell by using every tool and skill at our disposal.
Vaccines prevent communicable diseases.
No matter how long the day, the evening comes.
