The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

there's a special place in my heart for people who made an effort to be my friend regardless of how quiet or distant i can get at times

all that and i havent killed myself yet i must really love this stupid fucking life

yeah “i can teach you” is kind and gentle and warm and comforting. it’s also hot. right

in the meantime: study, journal, read more books, sit in silence, listen to music, take walks, take the stairs, do more things alone, do more things with friends, take notice of the small wonders of the world, create a sacred space in your mind
