When I was a kid, I collected pogs, coins, comic books, Batman figurines. 🪙📚🦇 I loved horses, but the horses I had looked more natural (brown, black, and fuzzy). 🐴 I loved the movie Black Beauty. 🎬

I didn’t get into My Little Pony until I was older. 🦄 I get that isn’t common. But maybe it’s more common than we think. 🤔

There are multiple childlike things I didn’t get into until I was older. 🧸 Sometimes it was because my parents wouldn’t let me. Sometimes it’s because I just didn’t know about it. Or maybe my interests changed. 🎨

What I do know is it’s silly to care about what you like and when it starts. Just enjoy. 💖

PS — This is what AI thinks I would be as a My Little Pony. And I’m really into it. 🥹✨🦄 @MyLittlePony

Cold plunges might not be for everyone, but coming back to your body absolutely is.

This part gave me chills. Literally. 😅

We treat joy like dessert. 🍒

Like it’s the reward we earn after finishing our to-do list.

But the to-do list? It’s never done.
The dishes will wait. The laundry will wait.

Joy won’t.

Joy isn’t the cherry on top—it’s the whole sundae. 🍨
And you deserve to taste it today. Not “when everything’s done.”

Go for the door choreography alone. 🚪💃🏻 (If you don’t get it, then go see it.)
