Nova's Light

Our nights are as long as our wounds are deep.

In my own way... I will always be there to protect you.

With the right accompaniment... anything can be a melody.

“Settle on the type of person you want to be and stick to it, whether alone or in company.” —Epictetus

Sometimes to scare away the monster in the dark, we need someone else to shine a light on it - and that's okay.

Soon you will have forgotten all things; soon all things will have forgotten you.

So live. Fully. Joyfully.

Fear, anger, hatred come from a lack of perspective on what life is really about.

Sometimes the most human thing you can do is to keep something to yourself.

The universe is vast... and so are you.

Let your words breathe.

Strength grows in silence.

I remind myself of this often in moments of doubt. 🙏

I am grateful for the rain.

Your value isn't tied to productivity.

When you can't save yourself, saving others feels like healing.

You didn't come this far to only come this far. Press on. You will get there.

Just let it sway and blow by.

As we carry the weights, we must remember: our traumas are a part of us, but they do not define us. Salute the strength within you to overcome the past and have confidence in knowing that you can create meaning and purpose for the bright days that lie ahead.

Silence is the language of those who no longer need to prove anything to anyone.

“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labour does the body.” — Seneca

Your mind must have relaxation. Rested, you will rise up better and keener.

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. 🙏

Ask for help - like a wounded soldier would, with no guilt, no shame. You don't have to do everything alone.

Maybe more niche developer tutorials? Like optimizing lighting for vr headsets.

Solitude is the sanctuary of the wise.

Before you speak, ask yourself:
1. Is it true?
2. Is it necessary?
3. Is it kind?
4. Is it helpful?
5. Is it the right time?

It's okay to not want to be strong.

"We must give ourselves relaxation: it is not to be taken as though we were yielding to weakness but as though we were allowing a respite to labor". — Seneca
