Some thoughts this week: If you treat abundant things as though they are precious, they will remain abundant. If I can reach a 1000 day streak on Duolingo, what else can I do for 1000 days? A daily solo dance party in front of a full length mirror is just as effective as any verbal affirmation.

Has the word “truth” officially changed to now refer to subjective experiences, i.e., “my truth”? If so, do we have any words left that signify objective absolutes? “Fact” maybe? Or is the consensus that there is no such thing as an objective absolute?
