Let the butterflies come to you
I’m writing this sitting on the train home, but I said I wouldn’t miss a day, so here we are💪🏼
I will say, tonight was just what I needed.
Hosting a chill hang, bringing in together amazing founders/builders etc.
As someone who works alone most of the time, it can get hard to stay motivated, seeing everyone on socials seemingly having a blast.
like fr why does everyone just know each other???
It’s really easy to get caught up in everything and feel left out or start comparing yourself to others.
But tonight helped me remember that it’s not always reality, and that you can build community.
I actually read this today on Twitter
“If you spend your life chasing butterflies they will fly away, build a garden and let the butterflies come to you”
(If I misquoted, I’m sorry, I don’t have it on hand 😅)
I spent so much time trying to prove my worth, and chased the short term validation. When all along I should have been building the garden.
If you’re like me, and maybe it’s seems like you’re out of it, or you don’t know where to fit in, I think I’m realizing that you just need to share.
Share your nerdy hobbies, interests, projects. Just yap online.
Let the butterflies come to you.
