“Newness.”

Z,

It is important to always lean into the newness of things. You have to
enjoy the idea that you don’t know what you are doing but you will in time. Do not
let the necessary nervous energy of a new day, a new school, a new job, a new page,
or a new environment go to waste. There is no shame in learning, certainly none
in making mistakes and being honest in doing so is where all the fun is.

I know we are expected to be perfect. This is a lie. We are expected to pick
things up quickly. This is often a lie. We will learn at our own pace; sometimes
it will be slow, sometimes it will be quick. The thing to remember is that we
do it well. Our own pace is always good enough, eventually.

One day, everything new will become old or will pass into custom. Remember
this, as you go through the process. First, as earlier stated, so you enjoy the
moments. And second, when it is hard, remember that novelty will become better
by practice. The second part is hope in hard times and the first part is just
the pure joy of life and experiences.
