getting better is like putting a grain of sand in a big glass bucket every time you try to better yourself. no matter what you do, if you are doing something, a grain of sand is going in that glass bucket everytime
even if youre just thinking about doing that thing you need to do, daydreaming about the person you want to be, that is trying. you're prepping and priming and transforming your brain, grain by grain. problem is grains are small as fuck & that bucket can look the same for years
but everytime you try, whatever trying looks like--planning or praying or taking that first step or doing 1 more push up than you did yesterday--there's a grain of sand going in that bucket. its torturous that you can how much is in there bc you can also see how much isnt
but im learning that what happens is eventually you say fuck this bucket its never gonna change and looking at it makes me feel bad. but if you keep working, whatever that looks like, inertia sets in & you dont notice youre doing the work. but you keep doing it
and then one day you look up and say 'wow, when did this bucket his 200 lbs and when did i learn to carry it all?' and thats how it happens. grain by grain. which is annoying as fuck, but a grain you got today is one that you didnt have yesterday & eventually it adds up
nothing lasts forever; everything gives eventually. peace to all my hoes in the struggle just tryna get to safety. you gon get there <3
