you can always start again. clean up your socials, make new playlists, donate clothes you no longer wear. try out a new recipe, move to a new city and make new friends, pick up new hobbies you never thought of before. there is no limit to how many times you can press the reset button. it's okay to change and start over. you don't need anyone's permission to do it.

no one tells you how much of life takes practice. not just writing, painting, running, singing, etc, but practicing how to make friends. how to make the right ones. getting practiced at how to be a good friend, a good sibling, a good person. practice identifying when people haven’t earned that. learning to recognize your right to rage and, eventually, how to offer mercy. so much of life is muscle memory, and i’ve begun to realize there are so many more parts of ourselves to flex and stretch and strengthen than those we’re taught in anatomy lessons

‪Rest your tired bones and tired hearts, the world can be cruel and suffocating, but I hope that tomorrow provides support for you or a little glimmer of hope - a chance to relax the shoulders and breathe fresh air again. I’m glad you’re here.‬

if it’s meant for me, I will have it. if it isn’t, I’m prepared to receive something even better.

Let this serve as confirmation that you are breaking free from all self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors that hinder you from living in alignment with your truest intentions. You are doing the inner work on yourself. You are making progress. You're doing it.

you can always start over. you can always catch up. you can still be who you dream of being. it’s not too late for you.

I pray I don’t mishandle what I prayed for.

being at home, relaxing and doing absolutely nothing is one of the best feelings

you deserve to be here. you deserve to be in this world. we need you here.

friendly reminder that moments like sitting in the sun, waking up well-rested, discovering a song that makes you feel your heart and laughing with someone will find you again. clouds will dissipate and the sun will sink and rise and the moon will be full and bright outside of your window, and life will stop feeling this heavy. in the meantime, we’ll try. sometimes that’ll feel like enough and sometimes it won’t, but that’s okay. you’re here and that’s an achievement and that’s good and it matters.

don’t do anything for social media. don’t let it affect your media consumption too much. or how you spend your time. or how you see yourself. don’t watch a tv show you won’t enjoy just to post about it, don’t buy a pair of jeans you don’t really like because it’s a trend, don’t become a spokesperson for ideologies you haven’t truly read and thought about first yourself. operate as though you don’t have a social media whenever you’re not using social media. this is what stops it from seeping over the borders of the time you give it into the rest of your life. let your real life influence what you choose to do with your time more.
