courage, dear heart

THIS

so many people have inspired me to be nothing like them

I have an unhealthy relationship with most physical pleasures including food and having sex would you like to be best friends

everyday I am reminded how blessed I am. even if my circumstances aren't ideal, I have so much to still be thankful for.

Small talk kills me. Teach me something. Tell me about your life experiences and the lessons you've learned. Discuss psychology and your spiritual journey. Give me depth and authenticity.

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

I hope February feels gentler to you than January did.
