“Trying hard and working hard is its own reward. It feeds the soul. It affirms your will and your power. And it radiates from you, lighting the way for all those who see you.”
I’m still watching the Fish Doorbell (it’s been quiet at the times I’m on but it’s still fun), and now I’ve added a new livestream to my list of “things to watch when I need a minute of chill.”
