“There’s a great group of people who want to be writers, and a smaller group who actually write, and an even smaller group who are actually going to strive so hard that someone’s going to pay attention to them.”

“1. It’ll get tough. Really fucking tough. You already knew that. But that’s life, accept it. Put away the books for an hour, drink some tea, cuddle your pets, stare at the ceiling, watch some Youtube videos, and then finish your homework. 2. There will be a lot of days where you wanna quit or can’t get out of bed. Don’t call in sick and don’t drop out. You can do this, you can survive this year like all the others. 3. Enjoy learning new things. Knowledge is power, knowledge is sexy. 4. Don’t pay attention to others, you are here for you, nobody really pays attention to others anyway. 5. Be nice to teachers and help fellow students. Kindness makes life so much easier. 6. ASK THINGS. Ask the most stupid questions and ask the hardest. Just ask anything you want to know. Teachers think you’re dumb? Fuck them. Students laugh at you? Fuck them. YOU need to pass that class and YOU need that degree. 7. Make your lunch the evening before if you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. Breakfast helps you start up your day. If you don’t have time to eat at home, make some for in class. 8. Go to bed early. A good night’s rest is everything. It’ll make getting out of bed a lot easier. 9. Always carry a water bottle with you. 10. Take a deep fucking breath. It’s all going to be okay. Take a few steps back and look at your situation with a clear view. Realize how far you’ve come already. Be proud of yourself. Celebrate small victories. You are doing okay.”

This is me.
I haven’t been on tumblr perhaps since 2020. A lot has happened since then. I mean, we all know that hella things happened in 2020. I have grown a lot and rediscovered myself in many ways. Met many people who helped me understand myself better, regardless of whether they were good or bad company. Now that I look back to some of the stuff I’ve written back in 2019. I couldn’t help but admit just how naive and pure I was. Things have shifted. I’m different now. Experienced a lot more. Learned a whole lot more. It’s not the same anymore. Looking back, I would have never thought I’d be where I am today. I’d probably be proud, yet at the same time disappointed.
In many ways, I have failed. Terribly. I have become sick and tired of things, including myself. I have stopped trying. Doing the bare minimum just to get by with classes. I have been lost in the middle of the many drastic changes happening to and around me. I am in a rut, a deep rut. However, I can’t help but give myself a pat on the back and point out just how far I’ve come. I may not be as much a success as the people around me in terms of school and career, but within this time I’ve learned an unimaginable amount. I need to become mentally and emotionally strong. I need to conquer what’s ahead. I need to finally give a shit. I need to rise up to myself and the challenges ahead. Because I cannot lie to the person I see in the mirror. I am not doing enough. I had given up on myself, but I’m not done yet. There’s so much I want to do. So much I want to have. So much I didn’t have. So much I don’t have. I can change this and I will.
I can help myself. I have hope. I am not a failure. I will strive and I will succeed. I will become an investment banker. I will become a CEO. I will one day start my own family and wake up to the company of my husband and children. I have so much within me. I am strong enough to fight this fight. I will succeed. Just watch. I am going to get back up. I haven’t given up yet. I may have sucked then, because I didn’t give two shits. But now I do care. Every tiny bit. So bitches, watch out. Because I am coming. I am rising up. Watch out for me. Because you’re not ready for how good I am when I do try, when I do give a shit about everything.
This is the beginning of my story. Yes, just the beginning. Watch me get through this.
Also, lol I haven’t been on tumblr for so long. I don’t even know if people still use tumblr or not. A little self intro: hi, you can call me nat. I’m 20 years old and a sophomore at UCLA.

I haven’t posted in a long while, and that’s because I didn’t think anyone would be reading my posts. To be honest, I’ve only ever really reposted for the most part. HAHAH oops😬 but today I realized that..heck, I have more followers than I did when I first started Instagram when I was like 13, alright? Okay, okay, I am by no means saying that I’m “insta famous” right now or any kind of influencer of some sort. CUZ LMAO I’M CLEARLY NOT. (posted a youtube “what’s in my backpack” video and never felt so embarrassed when my parents found it💩ooof story for another day)....BUT HEYYY which of you would be down if I start posting. I’m in the depths of failure right now...not really (actually, on second thought, I kind of am) watch me conquer these academic seas HOW BOUT DAH
ugh such cliché. just like that accent on the e in cliche. yes. SHOW ME SOME SUPPOOORT THO🥺😤
Concept: Maybe Your First Draft DOESN’T Suck
Hear me out on this one. There’s a lot of advice out there (I’ve given it myself) about being okay with writing a shitty first draft, and I basically agree with the premise. Too many new writers get paralyzed with the expectation that they should be able to sit down and barf out a flawless masterpiece, when in actuality good stuff usually requires a TON of editing in the post-first-draft stages.
However. As someone who has been writing and editing my shit for 20 years now, I must say that, more and more, when I get lost in the weeds in a writing project, when I get so far down a theoretical rabbit hole I can’t remember what the fuck my story is even supposed to be about, when I get to that point where I feel like the more I write the worse it gets… it’s the first draft I return to for clues about the real essence of what it is I’m trying to write. And it never, ever lets me down.
Your first draft has magic in it.
That initial spark, that thread of a story, that excitement you had that made you want to start this project… it’s living somewhere inside your first draft, and it’s precious as fuck. And it’s a sad truth that, sometimes, the more you edit, the more that spark gets lost. So you may need to return to your first draft to find it again.
I’m not saying don’t edit. I’m not saying that your first draft is a genius work of art that’s ready to publish. I’m saying there’s SOMETHING in there which is true and magical and important, and in the long run it may do you a disservice to think of it as “shitty,” crappy, useless, garbage, etc. You may miss out on what it has to offer you.
Things you might discover in your first draft that can get your project back on track (and/or get you excited again about a piece that’s started to make you cranky):
A particular character you love who you decided “wasn’t important” and cut from your story
An important emotion that’s being conveyed
A unique rhythm or style that got lost after too much editing
A fun story thread
An atmosphere, place, or description that excites you
A general feeling in the writing or the story
A sense of why you wanted to write this in the first place
What do you all think? Has this happened to you? Do you ever go back to your first draft and realize it’s NOT garbage? That it has something special you want to keep and develop throughout your editing process?

life is so much more than you think. there are so many beautiful things to experience. new people to meet, new places to visit, new books to read, more food to try, more games to plays & an infinite amount of sunrises. life is so much more than work & mundanity. you won't be in this empty spot forever. you will find beauty in so many things, including the every day.
Going through the notes on your phone is just like: *codes and passwords that don’t tell you what they lead to* *a random fact* *midnight thoughts from 3 years ago* *a wishlist* *something your friend told you about that you were “definitely going to check out”* *random numbers* *drafts of emotionally charged messages* *shopping lists* *todo lists* *fake poetry* *a diary entry*
If you heard of writer's block, get ready for reader's block. You want to read. You have time. You know what to read; how have a pile of books ready to be read. You cannot sit still and focus enough to do so or you can't even open the book.
“text me when you get home” means “i love you, be safe.“
being alive is like a whole fucking thing dude ive only been here 23 years and can only really remember like 10 of those years at most and yet im literally immobilized by fear and anxiety i have no clue what i want and yet i am mad at myself for not moving fast enough? like towards what? for who? who is even going to hand me a medal for living correctly? like what would happen if i was just content but like no one knew and i told no one. would that still count? i think it would

Don’t be afraid to open a new door. It could take you even farther than you’ve ever imagined, but you’ll never know unless you turn that handle.
