1 person please God please

girls!!! we gotta fail more often!!! we’re so scared of failure and disappointing people and looking stupid that we don’t even TRY things! men?? men brush off failure like it’s nothing! if a man doesn’t get a job he wanted, it’s because they didn’t review his application fairly! it’s because the competition was tough this year! it’s because he just needs to try harder next time! men just DO things!!! and you know what DOING things builds?? confidence!!! even if you fail!! the more you fail, the more confident you are that you can fail and survive! women don’t even wanna try unless they are 100% certain that they’re qualified and competent and won’t disappoint anybody! but that is NONSENSE. men are out there getting positions they’re not even qualified for, while over-qualified but less-confident women are staying where it’s safe bc they’re afraid to rock the boat!!! DO. IT. apply for the thing! ask for the raise! enter the competition! get used to failing ALL the time! fail quickly and move on!!! if a cocky but mediocre man would do it, then for the love of god, GO DO THE DAMN THING. you are SO much more qualified than you think you are.

I LOVE YOU

note to self for the rest of summer (and forever) 1. buy beautiful flowers every week 2. take photos of beautiful moments 3. read every morning and evening, stack the books you have read into piles against the walls 4. write every day, no matter what it is 5. meditate in the mornings 6. be compassionate and patient with yourself, do frequent small things that make you happy 7. remind yourself of what you need to do every day to show up and live the life you have always wished you were living

I love myself enough to let whoever go

It’s me before you baby

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

ma'am, I'm going to place you on a brief hold while I look for a reaction image

You never know how signing up for a new class, getting a haircut, attending a party you are too lazy to go to, or applying to a job you think you have no chance at can really shift timelines. You are probably one decision away from catapulting into a new timeline.
