Growing

and what if I told you guys that virtually everyone you ever meet will turn out to be really interesting if you give them a chance

some real miserable fucks in the notes I fear

I'm not even saying you have to talk to every single person you meet. and you're certainly not going to LIKE all of them. but every person does have a rich interior life and complex feelings and unique worldview. sorry.

one day you will have to choose between what feels familiar and growth. it is very important that you choose growth.

you can reinvent yourself as often and as much as you want. you don’t have to stay stagnant to make other people comfortable.

your body cannot be wrong because there is no right way to have a body

I hope you heal so much that taking care of yourself is one of your favorite things to do and I hope you can forgive yourself for everything you did before you got there

if you can and want to, go to college when you’re 30. move out at 40. learn to drive at 50. life is short but it is also so long. it’s not too late to do new things.

that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing

life is too short to dwell on every little mistake you make. people make mistakes. the important part is growing from them.

you have to stay kind. you have to find a way somehow

Having some decorations you like in your bedroom will improve your general mental health btw. Won’t cure you but it’ll make a big difference.

Living in a blank box isn’t good for your monkey brain. Staple a leaf to the wall or something. Or an anime girl poster idk what you like

you’re allowed to think you fully healed and realize one day you haven’t. it’s okay to never “fully” be healed from shit (thought i know that sucks).

begin again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and

You're allowed to be unavailable. Unreachable. Unapologetic. Your healing is not a group project.
