this summer i am WRITING and PAINTING and READING and GETTING OFF OF MY EVIL IPHONE

my tumblr archive is sooo important to me. like that’s my whole life

agonizing over all the time you wasted or lost is useless. it’s gone now. you survived in the only way you knew how. doesn’t your survival deserve some recognition too?

like toni morrison said, “sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. but the grandeur of life is that attempt. it’s not about that solution. it is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances.”

you don’t need to reinvent yourself this summer; you simply need to return to the things that make you feel most like you
