everything hurts my feelings. like not really but also yeah actually

I like my blog I made it for myself

the art of not being ready and doing it anyway will take you far

i'm learning that what's meant for me won't cost me myself

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

Healing happens in circles, not lines. You will return to old places with new eyes.

For the sake of your mental health, let people think what they want. Their fiction is not your truth.

basically what were gonna do is blog

May you have the courage to disappoint people who benefit from your self-abandonment.

I’m not the woman I was a few years ago or even a year ago but I still like to hold her hand and remind her she did her best with what she knew

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

a lot of your suffering comes from treating your nature like a problem to manage instead of a design to understand

I’m only 28 and it feels a million times better than 23. I can’t wait to see what 30 feels like. Becoming an older woman is filled with internal validation, an inner calm, a recognition of patterns. I am not perfect but I accept myself despite it.
