Do those of us in the over 40 crowd need to learn how to love ourselves? Every year, wrinkle, experience has birthed an inner peace that exists once we let go. Letting go, lets life happen without the unnecessary peace disruptors 🪶01 Jun 2026 06:17 +0000at://did:plc:bpforpc3in63horl5ub4ggrf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn7gn7y7pc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/doctorgnome.bsky.social/post/3mmyw3kccek2dConvocation season 🎉 From the day you applied, days in study halls and classrooms, long nights staring at words or lost in your thoughts on projects. You made it. Standing on the shoulders of loved ones who fought beside you, or maybe you fought through on your own. Give yourself today 🙏🏽29 May 2026 16:05 +0000at://did:plc:bpforpc3in63horl5ub4ggrf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmyw3kccek2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/doctorgnome.bsky.social/post/3mltbuwfl2s2fThe best compliment I get is when folks notice I’ve locked in. Since 2018 I’ve been on a mission to be the best feeling version of myself. Ups and downs, trying new things because I get bored. Fighting the urge to skip a workout and realizing I needed it. All that matters is that you keep moving!14 May 2026 16:55 +0000at://did:plc:bpforpc3in63horl5ub4ggrf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mltbuwfl2s2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/doctorgnome.bsky.social/post/3mlpn2ff6xk2hMy boxing coach plays Viking rap in the mornings lately. He pumps me up for the hard days, offers clarity on the good days, and nourishes the inner peace I sought after for years. Witnessing the power a good human can have personally in real time, is pretty fucking rad.
