wat doin

don’t date anyone who doesn’t want to hear your favorite song, watch your favorite movie, read your favorite book

a while back i read a post along the lines of “if you feel like everyone hates you, it’s time to rest… if you feel like you hate everyone else, it’s time to eat” and honest to god i’ve never used any piece of advice more than i have that one

Black people OOOOOO MY GOD

every morning i wake up & get my coffee & i recite in my head this excerpt from ‘invitation,’ by mary oliver:  “it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world.” & i just say it over & over again until it sticks to my mind for the rest of the day. it is a serious thing. i am alive. i am so lucky. this fresh morning i get the chance to live again & again & again

I don't think I have ever picked up a pair of tongs without clicking them together a couple of times.

Gotta make sure they work

the worst pain is to make small talk with the person you once told everything.

The worst pain is stepping on your pet’s little feet and knowing that they don’t understand what “I’m sorry” means 😩😩😩😩

how poignant and heart-rending is it that we’re all going to work or school and riding our bikes and feeding our dogs and driving to the grocery store and emailing back our coworkers and yet among it all we’re each screaming (somewhat out of sync) someone please please love me for this for something for anything!

don’t ever let anyone make you feel ashamed for not going down a conventional path (e.g. not finishing college or starting college later in life, doing an internship in your late 20s, not having a "career” by a certain age). all of this is arbitrary. do not create a life that aims to satisfy everyone but yourself. you worked hard as fuck to get to where you are. don’t you dare let others including yourself diminish those efforts. you do not deserve that. especially if you did it all while battling mental illness.
