Social media has made us so eager to “show and tell” but there is beauty in privacy. Everything isn’t meant to be on display. It’s perfectly fine to keep some things for you.

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

sometimes i have a dream that reveals such a humiliating desire i have that i genuinely lose a bit of respect for myself

you will struggle to say the unsayable thing for five years straight. and then it will suddenly become easy on a Wednesday morning

men in love are like “i love you” and women in love are like “i wouldn’t mind taking all of your pain in my hands and letting it overflow into the cracks of my skin just to be able to have a part of you with me”

it takes great bravery to spend my life on shit no one cares about but i do it. i do it

Unfortunately it’s very easy to lure me places because I like to go somewhere

people without any whimsy scare me. why are you like that. where are your trinkets.

punk is when you look to your peers for approval that what you are doing is acceptable

saw this post the other day that talked about how even if you do manage to have friends these days it often doesn't feel like you're living life with them. it's not always the case and there are exceptions but it can really feel like you just catch up with them once in a blue moon and basically just report what you've been doing to them and they do the same until the next time the stars align and you both have enough time and energy and money to do it again. we're not quite as integrated into each other's existences as much as we used to be

I hope today is good to you and if not I hope tomorrow treats you better

ever since i received an email from my prof asking if we could postpone our meeting so he could take a walk to awaken his mind and body i havent been able to stop saying it to all myfriends like [asking to hang out] Thoughts on awakening our minds and bodies later ... ?
