I am 22 and I haven’t used tumblr seriously in two years. I have come so far from who I was when I first started using this when I was 14. I can’t believe this is me right now, that I’m doing so much of what I’ve always wanted to do. I can’t believe this life and all that’s happened. I can’t believe how much I’ve overcome and I can’t believe how much strength I’ve held onto. I am 22, in a relationship that doesn’t swallow me whole and has been going on for about a year now, I work a 9-5 salaried job as a content strategist, continue to run my publication with my best friend who is also my roommate, and recently read at the poetry foundation. I am asking hashem to continue granting me opportunities to reach my fullest potential. I am feeling blissful amidst a polar vortex in Chicago. God knows why I’m posting this on here.

For people that have followed me on here since I was like 14 or 15 or 16 or whatever, I fell in love, got my heart ripped up into two, let myself become myself & then lost myself in the span of it all. Regaining footing, still. Still lonely, still healing, just more confident in who I am and what I want.

stopped by to say life is fucking wild & happy holidays

for something else

it takes me a week  maybe two  but when you pull from inside yourself and find your guts squirming all over your hand you remember that all there is to this body is  the stuff that’s keeping you going everything else is just  what’s in your head

when someone loves u they take pix like this of you
