Stephen Curry explains how he used gratitude to process being underpaid on his 4 year $44,000,000 deal while winning MVP's and titles early in his career “It’s all intentionality. It sounds so freaking cheesy and cliché because I’m talking about it right now, but this is exactly how I... thought.” “I talked to my wife about it right before I signed. I had to tell myself, one, let’s keep perspective here. $44 million for four years.” “More money than my pops ever made in the league. I’d been around the league for 16 years watching my dad play. I knew how far the league had grown from when he played.” “That’s good money. Support my family. Got a lot of security. I just want to be healthy.” “Let’s focus on that, not what you’re leaving on the table or what you could have made. Don’t count anybody else’s money. At the end of the day, when you sign, that’s your decision. You’re going to rock with it.” “I tried to set that foundation for my mindset right then and there. Never renegotiate with myself afterwards. Never second-guess.” “Never come back to that moment like, ‘Oh, I should’ve, could’ve, would’ve.’ Because that’s not how life works.” “I had to be really intentional about it. It sounds so simple and fairytale because it did work out. But I give myself credit that that was the perspective I made sure I had.” “I didn’t want to let anything distract me from what could have been, what I left on the table, or what other situation could have been out there. I was still taken care of. I was still good.”show more

250709 | #ATEEZ #Hongjoong on how creative expression beyond music inspires his growth as an artist , TOKTOQ pop (voice) live (rough translation): I’m also studying design and slowly creating things on my own, step by step. I’ve said something similar before, but honestly - who knows what might happen in the distant future, right? For now, though, I’m still in the process of learning more about myself - my tastes, my design style, and how I work. And I know that if I ever do create something, our ATINYs would definitely take interest and support it. But as I continue getting to know myself, I just want to say - and I’ll say this clearly - I have absolutely no intention of starting a brand or selling anything at this point. Not even a little bit. Right now, I just see this - working and designing - as another way of expressing myself. That’s all it is. At least for now, I don’t have any plans beyond that. So I know there are people who hope I might do something more with this, and on the other hand, there may also be some fans who start to wonder, “Is he planning something?” - and maybe feel a bit uneasy about it. Because it could seem like I’m taking on too much or not focusing on my main work. But I’m very aware of that myself, and honestly, I don’t want that to happen. I really don’t. So to be clear - I’ll say it firmly - I don’t have any such plans right now. It all started simply because I wanted to try wearing clothes from different brands, and eventually, I thought, “I want to wear what I want,” or “I want to create something I’d like to wear.” That’s the situation I’m in. I just want to keep expressing myself. As long as it doesn’t become a burden for me or interfere with my schedule, I’d love to keep doing fun and creative things and share them with our ATINYs. So… it’s really just that. Since I’ve been using something like a stylized “HJ” - kind of like a personal mark - some people might start thinking, “Oh, is he launching a brand?” But absolutely not. That’s not the case at all. I’ve just been adding that mark to the clothes I make because I think it looks nice, and it kind of makes it feel like it’s mine. That’s really all there is to it. To be honest, I do want to make a tag eventually, but the design isn’t fully clear in my head yet - I haven’t figured it out. So for now, I’m just using the logo that’s in my mind. And honestly, it’s not like I’m trying to hide anything or doing something secretly behind my members’ backs. I just wanted to talk about it openly and put it out there. Because that way, I can really have fun with it. And if our ATINYs say, “Oh, that looks nice,” then I can just feel happy about it as it is. And even if I end up making something that doesn’t turn out so great sometimes, if ATINYs say, “You made that?” - even that, I can just laugh and enjoy it for what it is. So that’s what it is. That’s really the reason. Continuously creating - not just in music, but in other areas too - gives me so much energy. And I truly believe that this kind of creativity brings new inspiration to my performances as well. I think that’s what it is - the process of constantly making something new gives me another kind of drive, another kind of motivation. That’s what it feels like to me. So… that’s why I enjoy it. And honestly, that’s also why - even more so - I feel more motivated when it comes to things like choreography practice, or even just the basics of rapping. It makes me want to put in even more effort.

Cody Rhodes was asked about John Cena saying how the match that you guys did at SummerSlam had to be different, had to deliver, because the WrestleMania match he felt didn’t. How did you put that match together at SummerSlam? “Well, I never was one to get mad or get in my feelings over WrestleMania 41 because it was part of a larger story. That is a hard sell, though, for a WrestleMania, especially when the year before you had the completion of over several decades of a journey, and at a 10-year Mania, you’re involving luminaries and legends. It’s a feeling that’s good, a good feeling, as Shawn Michaels will say, the good stuff. So when you go into 41 and you’re doing 1/4 of your story, and you know your story goes all the way to SummerSlam, I never was not committed, and I never doubted John. I hope he knows that, because I know he talks about this match, so I feel comfortable talking about it, but I never doubted, hey, well, this is what we’re doing now, and this is what we’re going to do, then this is what we’re going to do when we get to SummerSlam. You asked, though, how we put it together. I have a really great photo of how we put it together in the most old-school fashion ever. He wanted to have a cigar where he was staying in New York, and this was the night before. I figured I like cigars, it is one of my favorite things, maybe the most Cuban thing about me. I went there, and I realized after dinner and stuff, maybe an hour in, that we were talking about tomorrow. But we were just talking about it differently than you talk about it at the ringside area. We were talking about it, then we would talk about something else, and then we’d slip back into it, and it was the most I think I’ve ever focused in my mind. Because once we go past something, I don’t want to forget it. Remember that idea, I don’t want to forget it. So I ended up going to my hotel that night, and I had it all. I had everything, and I kept making sure. I think I was telling Brandi, and I was making sure I had it. I had what we had talked about. Because with an old school guy like him, you may actually go out there the next night without seeing each other, which is wild in 2025-26. But with John, that was a possibility. He could have just yelled his whole version of it, or I could have yelled my whole version. But that was a really special moment, because I got a lot of pictures from it, and I didn’t share any except maybe one of us signing at the tables. But I got to be with my friend at the end, and I got to not just be with my friend, but I got to have the responsibility that I think anyone in the business would want. I got the responsibility of being booed in Vegas. I got that responsibility of being the one who can survive. Hey, yeah, you may not be the hot thing right now, but if you’re going to be QB 1, you have to be able to survive, and I got to be able to be in there with the guy who survived more encounters than anybody in our business with split crowds, for him crowds and hostile crowds.” (Chris Van Vliet)

In 1979, I was so broke that I had to borrow $4,000 from my Dad to help take care of my family. I had calculated that American banks had lent much more money to foreign countries than they would be able to pay back, and anticipated an imminent debt crisis. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t fully understand the impacts of quantitative easing, and so I lost money for myself and I lost money for my clients. Looking back, it was the most painful experience I could imagine — but it was also the best thing that ever happened to me, because it taught me humility.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

JOONGDUNK PRAEW PODCAST #DearMyselfxJoongDunk the first photo : “from the day that kid had to survive on his own” —— 🌞be called the last one i took with my dad before his father passed away. at that time i never expected it would happen. during COVID i was in China to compete in a survival show having decided to leave and sacrifice everything i had in Thailand to go there. but the pandemic hit the show couldn’t be filmed and i was left with only about 50,000B in my account — everything i had. when i returned to Thailand i felt completely lost not knowing what job to do or where to go. acting singing — everything seemed uncertain and nothing could move forward because of COVID. not long after that my dad passed away. it’s been about 6 years since then 🌞the reason i chose this photo is because it truly was a turning point in my life. everything felt like it had exploded — like i was completely cornered with no way out. so i had to struggle, do everything i could just to survive. and it wasn’t only me who had to survive but my whole family too. i still have my mom, three younger sisters and brothers who are in Turkey. that’s why i had to do everything to make sure my people could survive. it felt like every door in my life had completely shut every single one. so i had no choice but to search for new doors. luckily during COVID, many new doors eventually opened for me. honestly, in the days when those doors hadn’t opened yet, did i ever think this might not be the right path? no! not at all. i just felt that this was the path i was good at — and also the one i loved. i had already experienced what it felt like to be here and i truly liked it. i got to do so many things — dancing, acting, going to international fan meetings. it made me feel like… once you keep getting on stage, you start craving it. you crave the stage, the screams from the crowd, singing together with fans. it’s a completely different feeling. hearing their voices—it’s indescribable. back then, what I wanted was simply… i don’t even know exactly what it was but i wanted to see myself on stage, singing, with people singing along with me. And i realized i truly loved that feeling. that’s why i knew this was my path. 🌞because when i was younger, i used to love singing in the bathroom. and. my father… was the only person in the house who would knock on the bathroom door and say “stop singing everyone else in the neighborhood can hear you already” 🌞this was back when i was living at Eason Blue. basically the bathrooms in that house were connected. it was like a family apartment: upstairs was one relative’s place, downstairs was another, and our home was in the middle. so everyone could hear everything. my dad was worried that my voice would disturb the neighbors, so even in the bathroom or in my own room i wasn’t really allowed to sing. instead, i would go sing at school. simply put, my dad didn’t really support me much when it came to singing. he just didn’t see what this kid could become, or where singing could take me. and honestly, back then, i couldn’t see it myself either—i never imagined that one day i’d get to sing this much : nd now that you’re about to have a fan concert, where you can fully perform and sing… your dad must finally get to see it somewhere right? 🌞but in the end he didn’t get to see it. Maybe he’s listening from above

Jin on his first time releasing a solo album: “Once I got used to it, I loved it! When performing with my members, we have a lot of various opinions, right? The music should be like this, and the choreography should be like this and stuff, right? But since I’m doing it by myself, I was like, ‘Choreography? None! These schedules? Delete it! But the fans want it? Oh really? Then include it!’ I can decide on everything myself. When they asked what I want this album to be like, I said I want to make it a letter to my fans. ‘How about we make a letter-like album? Okay let’s go with that!’ That’s how everything went. I had a lot more to do but I really liked how I could choose whatever I want. Since I love giving surprise events, I’m thinking of different things once the album is out.” SUPERSTAR JIN ON SALON DRIP #JinxSalonDrip

The moment that drew my attention to Freen was when you went to Cannes and there was a photo of your in a red dress which got tenth of thousands of likes—I was like, who’s this? I want to ask how you view Cannes before and after you went there. When I found out that I will be there, I felt it was such a grand event. Never imagined… like me? ME? Who am I to get to go there? And when I was there… it was really grand. And the photo time was so long that I thought…. Are we done? Didn’t know what to pose already. Was very nervous inside but had to act confident. Come…. Take photos… but inside, scan around…. How many? How long is the camera wall😅 It’s a good moment in life. Saw Queen Chompoo went so many years and looked so grand every time. I was one who was excited to see what she will wear. So when it was me, I was excited. And when was there, was a bit pressured—what dress and accessories to wear. I had to do a lot of homework. I was a bit surprised with myself. They have dresses for me to choose from. Had to pick what fitted me. But when I liked the red design… but it was red, which I have to wear to a red carpet… I was like… what to do… and decided to go for it. I’ll go with it. Not sure how red on red will be but went with it. MC: for me it was a good choice. I felt. This kid is brave. You could handle it and made it seem effortless/ not stressed. Felt you weren’t stressed out by the red carpet. I thought you handled it well. Thank you so much. It was my first time. I was really scared. The necklace. I’ll tell you about was the first time in my life that I went to choose it all by myself. Had to pick accessories worth many tenth of millions alone. Had to go through 3-4 doors with massive guards and there was one guard with me. They went do you like this, no? Next. No? Next. Was not able to put on the dress and tried… had to imagined it. I think that room had accessories worth tenths of billions. All could do was put it against my neck and imagined it with the dress I picked. Was difficult but I think I got a perfect total look. MC: I’m also interested to know which part you like the most about Cannes aside from the red carpet. There were so many eventful stuff. First I missed my flight! Instead of two stops/transfer I had to take four or five. …. …. Anyway that’s fine. My team was good and professional—the manager, makeup, hair. We had to deal with the situation but got through it while still had good humor about it. MC: what thought about hotel Martinez iconic stairs. Met so many people/celebrities. It was like a check in spot for everyone. After you finished getting ready, had to take photos there. It was another memorable moment. Not everyone can be there. Overall, glad I experienced getting ready there and went to the red carpet.

MC: I’m also interested to know which part you like the most about Cannes aside from the red carpet. There were so many eventful stuff. First I missed my flight! Instead of two stops/transfer I had to take four or five. …. …. Anyway that’s fine. My team was good and professional—the manager, makeup, hair. We had to deal with the situation but got through it while still had good humor about it. MC: what thought about hotel Martinez iconic stairs. Met so many people/celebrities. It was like a check in spot for everyone. After you finished getting ready, had to take photos there. It was another memorable moment. Not everyone can be there. Overall, glad I experienced getting ready there and went to the red carpet.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode. At 28, mark pincus finds himself unemployed (fired by John Malone, Bain, and others), with few prospects. He had big dreams, but the world wasn't cooperating. This is how he turned things around. what "I realized I had nowhere else to fall from this because I just felt like I’d made a lot of bad career decisions and I was washed up early and I just sat there in this temple." It was a good place to sit and think because he didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything. "And I just started writing in a notebook about why my life sucked so badly." This book, a journal he's kept every year that he calls the book of life, allows him to take an accurate accounting of his life and change his mindset through reflection. After writing for hours about how bad his life sucked and all the mistakes he'd made, he focused on one small thing. "I just ended on this one thing: that I smoked cigarettes. I didn’t even smoke smoke. I smoked like one or two a day, a pack a night if I was at a bar on weekends, but I hated it ... I didn’t want to do it, but I kept doing it." He felt like his life was out of control, but this was one thing he could control. "I just was like, if I could do one thing to know that I’m making some positive change in my life, I’m going to quit smoking. So on October 19th, 1994, I did a lifetime quit on cigarettes and then every day for that year after that, that I didn’t smoke, it was something I could feel good about. So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

Rob Gronkowski confirms he still hasn't really tapped into the $70,629,507 he made in the NFL. As a rookie, he figured out that if he lived off endorsements and played for 4 years, he would never need to work another day in his life. “Then things kept growing.” LEONARD FOURNETTE: “So, is it true you still haven’t spent a dime of your NFL money?” GRONK: “I was a second-round pick. It was $4 million. Like, 3.5 was guaranteed. And I was like, so if I play those four and that’s all I have, I can put 2 million in my bank. And I was like, ‘I’m good.’ I thought just renting an apartment was great.” “I got brought up as more of a frugal guy, frugal family. I was using my brother’s equipment. They would hand it down to me. So it wasn’t like I had anything new growing up. So I didn’t even know what new was.” “So if I save my money and live off a couple of the endorsements, doing the cards, little appearance over there, I never have to work at 24 years old if I just play four years in the league.” “So I had that mindset, and then things just kept growing. So then I never tapped into my NFL money, really. If you look at it, I still have my NFL money.” [Jarvis Landry and Leonard Fournette listen in awe and congratulate him]

⭐️: I honestly spent so much time thinking about it. At first, I kept wondering if it was the right choice. Every time I looked in the mirror, it felt unfamiliar and a little awkward. And I think there are certain shades of blonde that suit me, and others that just don’t feel like me. But I really, really thought about it a lot. On top of that, there were times when I was out and about and had to deal with some not-so-great reactions because of it, so I had a lot of worries. I kept going back and forth in my head. When I wore that outfit for the music show performance, I actually couldn’t sleep at all the night before. I had so many thoughts and worries that I was basically fighting with myself. My mood was really bad that day. But even though my body felt like it weighed a ton, I dragged myself to the music show and did it. And while I was there, I was still battling with myself, thinking, “Is this really right? Am I just too stuck in my own perspective to see it clearly? Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t get it.” But at the same time, I kept telling myself, “We already filmed the music video like this. This is something I have to commit to.” So I went on stage. I was honestly feeling really down that day. I had almost no confidence in myself. But later on, seeing that so many people understood it and liked it made me realise that maybe it wasn’t completely the wrong choice after all. That said, my favourite hairstyle on myself is still black hair. So today, I got my hair and makeup done, looked in the mirror, and thought, “I need to go live.” So here I am.

I would only blame myself if someone kept taking food off of my plate and eating it. It’s because I didn’t set clear boundaries at all. To be honest I couldn’t even be mad about this because it would be my fault this even happened. But you know very well I’m going to learn my lesson. She obviously is very comfortable doing this, he doesn’t seem to be firm about not letting her do it, the only one he can be mad at is himself. I think he will think twice about continuing to let her get away with it. Years ago, my brother used to do this to me and when I confronted him he laughed but he never stopped doing it, it got old really quick, I was annoyed because it felt like a bullying tactic. It got to the point one day that i had had enough, I made my plate and I dumped a bunch of salt into it knowing he was going to try to eat my food. After one bite he spit it out and he learned his lesson. He never did it again. But he still got mad I did it. Personally I think he was more mad he got caught if anything. I think a simple solution is to double order, that way if someone eats all my food I still have a back up, that could work right? But a part of me feels like that shouldn’t even be necessary. What would you do if someone kept eating off your plate? Would you put your foot down or just stay silent in hopes they don’t do it again. I think I am going to start just smoking more meat on the grill and keeping that up. I always make so much and if people wanna have some I still have plenty.

250928 #HAECHAN #해찬 WEVERSE LIVE 🐻: while i was preparing for this album, i honestly didn’t want to go out on too many external contents. but since i had to, i picked them myself like ones with people i knew, or things i was more comfortable with. i thought at least one performance content had to be there, and another where i could talk about the music, so in the end I just did about three. i never really said this before, but i know it must’ve felt lacking for you guys, and i also know a lot of you were upset with the company. but… saying it was because of time, that’s just an excuse. if i really wanted, i could’ve done more. i guess i just don’t have that much greed for those things. of course, i know you might feel differently, but i told the company i’d take care of whatever schedule they set, and that’s just how it ended up. honestly, i just really wanted to focus on the album itself. 🫳🐻

American in Illinois explains what it was like leaving the Democrat Party “Explaining to my family and friends that I could not, for the life of me again, vote for a Democratic Party again was probably one of the toughest things I ever had to do. And once I made that statement publicly, like on social media and stuff like that, that's when all hell broke loose — I began to lose clients from my business. I had people calling me up talking about, they can't work with somebody who would vote for a racist or a Nazi. — This is real. But it became a matter of my morals, my values, and what I truly wanted to teach my kids. Like, yes, yes. — So business started failing. Friends who I thought were friends, family members stopped talking to me, started talking about me, and then we started having the problem. I put a Trump sticker on my car. What the hell did I do that for? In the middle of the hood with a Trump sticker — That was brave. But I did it because I gave no f*cks because I know how to fight. And surprisingly for me, more people were interested in my decision why than it was people angry with my decision why. And I began to have the opportunity to explain to people why I was making the decision that I was making and even more surprisingly, it made sense to them too.”

Kevin Costner recounts the exact moment he knew he’d made it as a Hollywood star. Howard Stern: “How many years were there from when you, let’s say, graduated high school?” Kevin Costner: “Probably six or seven years. I was just knocking around, taking odd jobs, auditioning for things, and constantly getting rejected.” “People always ask, ‘What was your moment? What was your big break?’” “It’s really clear to me. I knew when I got the job in The Big Chill. Not what happened later, not getting cut out of the movie. I’m saying when I got the job. I was driving home on the freeway, and I knew it had happened for me.” Howard Stern: “It’s so funny because The Big Chill is the movie where you’re the guy who got cut out.” Kevin Costner: “But it had already happened for me, right? I was on the freeway, and I didn’t care anymore what happened after that. I knew I was in the right room, with the right guy, with the right people. I knew it was on. Not when the movie came out. I knew it was on the day I left the audition with the part.” Howard Stern: “That was the day you said to yourself, ‘I’m an actor.’” Kevin Costner: “That’s exactly right. Wally Niesita was the casting director, and she had such a force of will. She helped me with Lawrence Kasdan. But people only look at the obvious. If you want to ask when the moment was, it was really two moments. The moment I decided I wasn’t going to worry anymore about what people thought of me, and I wasn’t going to let my parents’ worries define my life. I didn’t care. They were going to catch up with my life. That was the first moment. The second was driving home after getting The Big Chill. Those were the two most important moments of my life.”

Joe Rogan issues a HEARTFELT apology to Theo Von over his recent comments: “I apologized to Theo. He knows I love him and he said that and we laughed and we joked around about it and I apologized for the way I talked about this. But I felt like I needed to explain to other people too, to get what was going on in my mind out and it certainly wasn’t like covering for Israel and it wasn’t trying to paint him out like he’s damaged or treat him like a child.” “I just want him to be okay. And when you’re dealing with someone, or when you have had experience dealing with someone where it winds up going very badly, and then you’re just left with this feeling, like, what could I have done? You know, I didn’t do a good job of it, especially the Marcus King thing. That’s terrible what I did. I didn’t mean to.” “I was just trying to—you don’t think sometimes when you are in the middle of a podcast. You’re having a conversation, you don’t think about the impact that it’s gonna have. That’s one of the reasons why, you know, podcasts are so weird because like you’re in the middle of trying to be entertaining, but you’re also just having a conversation and I f*cked up because I felt so badly about it. It was like there’s got to be a way to address this where I just express myself and so that’s why we’ve never done this before.” “We’ve never done this kind of a thing after a podcast, but it was very important to me. He’s an awesome person, a great friend, and one of the most interesting and funny people I’ve ever met in my life. And I just felt terrible about it. And I told them I would never bring it up publicly again, but I think it is important to let people know that aspect of it.” “So I’m gonna call him and clear this with him and make sure he’s cool with me saying this, but I’m pretty sure he is gonna be. And that’s it… I’m a human and I’m flawed like all of us and I f*ck up and it’s probably not the last time. It’s definitely not. I’m going to f*ck up again. But my intention is never to hurt anybody, ever. And that’s why I mean I very rarely if ever even get upset at anyone other than like corrupt politicians. But I do my best to just try to be a good person, spread positivity.”

Junkyu being open about his burnout and how he overcame that phase is something that truly amazed me. His beautiful words that encourage everyone why pacing yourself actually matters 🥺🤍 🐨: I actually went through myself a burnout recently… was it in 2025? It’s not that I started to hate music, but when it came to making music, to working on it, I hit burnout. I really did. Nothing felt fun anymore, and no matter what I did, I just couldn’t move forward. No matter what—seriously, no matter what. 🐨: I work on music on my Mac, right? and I didn’t turn it on for a whole year. A year? Maybe even a year and a half? Since sometime in late 2024? It’s not that I chose not to turn it on—I couldn’t. That thought kept coming to me, “Even if I turn it on, nothing will come out” or maybe, “Even if I turn it on, I won’t get anywhere close to what I want”. My interest just… how should I say it… completely dropped. So I couldn’t turn it on. I was scared—scared that I’d have to face that feeling again. So I kept my distance from it. 🐨: But this time, starting in Korea and then going on tour, meeting TEUMEs a lot as we move through 2025 and into 2026, without even realizing it, I felt refreshed. Like I’d been aired out and I thought, “Huh? should I try again?”, “I kind of want to do it again”. “I want to go back to when I really enjoyed this”. “I want to try again—the thing I loved back then. So I finally made up my mind and turned it on. and when I did… it had been so long that I got chills. I’d forgotten everything—the details, the keys, everything. “How did I even do this before?”, “What values did I use?” I’d forgotten it all. 🐨: I completely panicked. I thought, “Oh… is this how it ends?”, “Is this how I lose the thing I love?” I was honestly really scared. And then another thought came to me “turn a crisis into an opportunity”. Maybe this is a chance for me to find something else I love. Maybe I should let it go. I was almost halfway in a state of giving up. But somehow, my body followed through anyway. My hands kept moving—on their own. Somehow, I knew what to do, how to do it. and naturally, without stopping, the flow didn’t break. So maybe I want to stay with music for a really long time in my life. And I think this process of slowing myself down a bit was part of that. Looking back now, the pace had been way too fast, and I couldn’t control myself. I’d pushed myself to the limit of what I could create, and after that, there was nothing left. 🐨: At that point, I was kind of cruel to myself. I blamed myself for everything… It’s a really bad habit, I think, but it just happens reflexively. So I was really hard on myself. That’s when I realized I needed to take a step back, give myself some distance, and look at things over a longer period of time. Yeah… if you just move at your own pace—not faster, not slower—you can do something for a long time. So I think if you want to spend your life with something you really love—whatever it is—you can’t go too fast. If your passion just burns up too quickly, it can cause problems. That’s why pacing yourself matters. If you manage your pace, you can live your life alongside the things you love for a long, long time. I really felt it this time. And because of that, I was so happy. Being able to do what I love again brought back so many memories, and it felt like I’d returned to those days when I used to enjoy it so purely. That made me incredibly happy.

That thought kept coming to me, “Even if I turn it on, nothing will come out” or maybe, “Even if I turn it on, I won’t get anywhere close to what I want”. My interest just… how should I say it… completely dropped. So I couldn’t turn it on. I was scared—scared that I’d have to face that feeling again. So I kept my distance from it. 🐨: But this time, starting in Korea and then going on tour, meeting TEUMEs a lot as we move through 2025 and into 2026, without even realizing it, I felt refreshed. Like I’d been aired out and I thought, “Huh? should I try again?”, “I kind of want to do it again”. “I want to go back to when I really enjoyed this”. “I want to try again—the thing I loved back then. So I finally made up my mind and turned it on. and when I did… it had been so long that I got chills. I’d forgotten everything—the details, the keys, everything. “How did I even do this before?”, “What values did I use?” I’d forgotten it all. 🐨: I completely panicked. I thought, “Oh… is this how it ends?”, “Is this how I lose the thing I love?” I was honestly really scared. And then another thought came to me “turn a crisis into an opportunity”. Maybe this is a chance for me to find something else I love. Maybe I should let it go. I was almost halfway in a state of giving up. But somehow, my body followed through anyway. My hands kept moving—on their own. Somehow, I knew what to do, how to do it. and naturally, without stopping, the flow didn’t break. So maybe I want to stay with music for a really long time in my life. And I think this process of slowing myself down a bit was part of that. Looking back now, the pace had been way too fast, and I couldn’t control myself. I’d pushed myself to the limit of what I could create, and after that, there was nothing left. 🐨: At that point, I was kind of cruel to myself. I blamed myself for everything… It’s a really bad habit, I think, but it just happens reflexively. So I was really hard on myself. That’s when I realized I needed to take a step back, give myself some distance, and look at things over a longer period of time. Yeah… if you just move at your own pace—not faster, not slower—you can do something for a long time. So I think if you want to spend your life with something you really love—whatever it is—you can’t go too fast. If your passion just burns up too quickly, it can cause problems. That’s why pacing yourself matters. If you manage your pace, you can live your life alongside the things you love for a long, long time. I really felt it this time. And because of that, I was so happy. Being able to do what I love again brought back so many memories, and it felt like I’d returned to those days when I used to enjoy it so purely. That made me incredibly happy.

Jalen Brunson reveals he walked away from ~$100,000,000 on purpose, ‘I can just play free’ “Everyone looks at it as leaving money on the table. And to a certain degree, it is, the most I could sign for at the time was like the $156 million. If I waited a year, it would’ve been about $100 million more” “But the average career in the NBA is about four years. Having that uncertainty of betting on yourself, you don’t really know” “So just having that in my back pocket, knowing I’m good, my family’s good, I can just play free. I don’t have to worry about anything”

Zendaya reveals how she freaked out when Tom Holland told her about starring in The Odyssey. "He had the script, and I may have taken a little peek. I had to know. He had a Christopher Nolan script in my house, what am I gonna do? So I looked" "Then he went off to his meeting, and when he came home, I was like, 'Okay! Tell me all about it! How was it? What was it like?' You know what I mean? I was so ready, so excited" "And he goes, 'Read this again.' And I was like, 'What? Why? We just read it last night.' He was like, 'Read it again, but with Athena in mind.' And I was like, 'Yo, stop it right there'" "I freaked out. I was so grateful. And the fact that he got to be the one to tell me, it was so special"
