    OH MY GOD the first 2 minutes hit so hard they are literally me every single morning when I wake up and I stumbled upon this video at the exact moment!
    "I should be doing this more often"
    "What will I even get after reaching those goals? What's the point? Why do so little people achieve stuff in life?"

    When i first saw lana the two things that came to my mind were highly sensitive and a morining person. Idk i can just feel it maybe because i am those 2 things too. And somehow listening to her talk calms my mind down. I also feel like she is a deep thinker and so am i. I feel and think about stuff very deeply and sometimes it's overwhelming

    I wish the communication on your media wasn't one-way only, because I think you could use a 'Lana' in your life. (It is a matter of axiomatic fact that one cannot be one's own Lana.)
    About a month ago (I remember because I was in Stockholm at the time), I sent you a note gently reminding you to make sure your recent accomplishments don’t take you away from your ‘ro’. I understand you can’t engage with people who message you and that’s okay. But I hope you keep that in mind, if you saw it at all. Action needs to be followed by reflection just like inhaling needs to be followed by exhaling. Expansion and consolidation - it’s the respiration of a balanced life. And I think you know that implicitly but probably need some reminding from time to time.
    I’d also encourage you to build something meditative into your routine. I don’t know anything about your ontological views and perspectives (although I would love to learn more about them), but meditation can be many things. Prayer, yoga, even certain types of exercise can be highly meditative. A walk in Hagaparken or Djurgården with Fred while thinking deeply. And of course, as you know, getting outside: as Henry David Thoreau said, “Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields and woods, if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature. Be cold and hungry and weary.” My winter runs are when I feel most alive.
