the amount of pressure we are all under to go to uni and find a job and work full time and have a hobby and keep a workout schedule and eat well and fall in love on time and do yoga and get good grades is just all so bullshit. i want to lie in some grass. that part of dogfish where mary oliver said i want to listen to the enormous waterfalls of the sun. that.

social media is ruining our attention spans but unlike the billion other guilt-tripping posts im just here to tell you to admit to yourself that you’re on your phone too much. even if nothing immediately changes. even if you’re doing it to cope. just say it to yourself. and slowly, slowly start relearning hobbies you once loved

there’s a part of elliot page’s interview with oprah i can’t stop thinking about where he talks about the amount of energy he has now (physically, creatively, mentally) because he’s no longer spending every waking moment fighting his panic, deppression and anxiety surrounding his gender. he even says how he can’t remember having this much energy since he was a kid. and i’m just…so happy for him! because u can see it! you can see it in how he’s sitting comfortably and smiling and talking enthusiastically, and god i wish that euphoria and peace on every trans person and every person whose energy is being consumed by invisible struggles they’re facing. i know i hope to find that energy again someday too.
