“You are not lost. You are here. Stop abandoning yourself. Stop repeating this myth about love and success that will land in your lap or evade you forever. Build a humble, flawed life from the rubble, and cherish that. There is nothing more glorious on the face of the earth than someone who refuses to give up, who refuses to give in to their most self-hating, discouraged, disillusioned self, and instead learns, slowly and painfully, how to relish the feeling of building a hut in middle of the suffocating dust.” — Heather Havrilesky, Ask Polly

this tumblr text post:

“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” — Mary Oliver

From an interview with Kazu Makino:

Instructions On Not Giving Up, Ada Limon:

“You have to believe, in your heart, that even if you don’t work hard and exercise and think positive thoughts and make new friends and march triumphantly into the future, you are still enough. You will always have bad days. Being broken doesn’t make you a loser. You can crumble, and you will still be enough. Make that your religion moving forward. You are here to feel this moment. You are not here to become someone better. You are not here to impress or compete. You are not here to prove yourself. You are here to savor this life. Let down your guard. You are already enough. Believe it.” — Heather Havrilesky

“The first feminist gesture is to say: “Ok. They’re looking at me. But I’m looking at them.” The act of deciding to look, of deciding that the world is not defined by how people see me, but by how I see them.” -Agnès Varda

lyrics from the song Grow by The Oh Hellos:

“The world’s otherness is antidote to confusion, that standing within this otherness—the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books—can re-dignify the worst-stung heart.” — Mary Oliver

[14.1.2021]

ta da! after many renovations, trial and error, i finally got notion down to something that works, is effective, and looks pretty bc who doesn’t love that!!! this is how i use it :D also thank you to @acadhr​ for the idea!

enjoy!

my sidebar

i don’t need too many pages because you can have pages inside pages, and that’s what’s going on here! i have my “home” which is my main thing for everything personal, my “school” for school, and my “social” for managing content. 

home

this is basically my dashboard! the minute i get on my computer to start my day, i go here. 

i go to agenda to see what is on the priority tabs for the day, and goals for what i should get done for bettering myself. 

my routines page is kind of a reminder of my organized day, i don’t match it exactly, but if i ever feel lost and confused, that’s a help.

bills are bills, i don’t want to fall behind on things. 

hiking has a supply checklist for getting our bags together, and trips i have planned. i’m excited for cooler fall weather and it’s the perfect time to start getting in the outdoors more!

as i said before…

my agenda is for major tasks of the day. i have the “task” section for a broad thing to do, and then the “notes” section is specifics on what to do for that thing to do.

my goals are separated my daily, weekly, and monthly. the daily and weekly parts are the short term things i want to achieve, and the monthly are long term things i want to achieve. 

school

this is where all i keep my academic stuff.

homework, school calendar, and clubs all stay at the top. i also visit homework everyday….because, you guessed it, i have it everyday.

first semester overview has all my classes, and i have the second semester overview below it, but i’ll just bump it up when the time comes. in those classes, i have unit overviews and syllabi.

social

finally, my social page! i have everything i need to manage my accounts on all sites.

my ideas and things to do are at the very top because they have things for all three sites i use (YT, tumblr, and insta).

then for each individual page, i have this layout. i just drag and drop pages when i’m planning or they’re in the process of being made. not the final layout, but it works for now. i also have plan templates and a checklist.
