Perfect skin doesn’t matter brand names don’t matter grind culture doesn’t matter all that’s important is having a hobby you love and learning to cook vegetables in tasty ways

look not to spoil the ending but you’re going to recover and be happy

have you ever noticed that when you take care of yourself, the universe takes care of the rest? it’s not a coincidence

sorry to disappoint you, but i’d rather stare out of the window, listen to music and create fake scenarios in my head than do those worthless mortal tasks

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.

going into new situations (e.g. a new workplace or school) might become a less terrifying idea if you eliminate the generalizations for yourself and instead stay open to the possibilities of who you might find there. like a friend who’s into the same band as you are, and someone who always falls asleep on their desk because their snap stories tell you that they like to watch the stars during the night, and someone who makes stupid dad jokes to cheer others up and someone else who’s from the same neighborhood you’re from or works at your local drugstore. not everyone in this new environment will be as judgmental and ‘normal’ as you’re afraid of. people aren’t scary, they’re just multidimensional, and that’s a beautiful, vibrant thing to discover you’ll grow to be a part of.

when mary oliver said “so this is the world. i’m not in it. it is beautiful” and “i wanted to know, whoever i was, i was alive for a little while” and “mostly, i want to be kind” and “i want to say all my life i was a bride married to amazement” and “you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves” and “someday we’ll live in the sky” and “i want to love this world as thought it’s the last chance I’m ever going to get to be alive” and “have you too finally figured out what beauty is for? and have you changed your life?”
