“I think we all suffer from the societal pressure to always be occupied. Busy is worn as a badge of honor these days, the busier we are, the more important we feel. But busy doesn't mean important, busy just means you are preoccupied and often means you are distracted. It doesn't mean you are esteemed, fun, smart, worthy, valued, loved, appreciated, excited, or happy. Busy means you are not paying attention to the current moment, but instead are hustling around in a fog of things you have to do.

Busy isn't special, we are all busy.”
― Tara Schuster, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies: And Other Rituals to Fix Your Life, from Someone Who's Been There

“Let people learn from life. Don't shield them from the consequences of what they choose. There are lots of things we can do to help people meet the challenges of life, by not shielding them from the challenges of life.”
― Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory

“A secret about truth that many people are unwilling to accept: it's usually painful”
― Prince Harry, Spare
