divina commedia

Can you believe that there are people who live so close to the ocean that they can just think “hey, I should go to the ocean” and then they just do???

My solution is to stick with hobbies that make you feel good because of the process, not the result. For example the meditative repetition of movements when knitting makes me feel calm and grounded and helps me empty my mind. The end result is not perfect and many people could do it better but I don’t do it because I need socks. I do it because the process of creating a sock or a scarf is very relaxing. Like that you won’t be discouraged even if your results are not perfect right away.

You know you’ve become an adult when you’re happy to eat leftovers. Way less dishes to do.

if you’re dealing with more shit than anyone knows, i’m proud of you. just make sure to give yourself love and it’s okay to have a support network 

i still don’t understand why recovery isn’t romanticized more. getting better after being at your lowest point? working hard and doing what it takes to feel safe again? knowing that occasional dips aren’t the end of the world? changing yourself and ridding your life of toxic behavior/people? i’m sorry that sounds better than any edgy miserable story i’ve ever heard.
