Legs,

I’m hoping to make a change soon, but I’m not sure how big or how hard. They say you should start small and build good habits one by one, but my motivation and my impatience come from the same place. Only the prospect of having it now is enticing; otherwise I’m better off watching just one more episode or snoozing five more minutes. Not much of a life strategy.

Have you read anything good lately? I just finished a graphic nonfiction book on a revolt, conducted via arson, by enslaved black people and Irish workers in New York in the 1740s. They didn’t succeed much but in spirit. It must’ve been the first book I’ve finished in the last eight months. I don’t suppose my working conditions are any worse than theirs, but sometimes I do want to set my laptop on fire.

Love you mucho,

Dwayne Johnson

P.S. I have NO idea how to make the picture smaller. I feel like I’m back in third grade putting together my first powerpoint. Not confident!
