one thing i’ve learnt is that u can’t put your life on hold for that perfect idealized future moment. thats just condemning your present self to needless repentance and suffering. get that haircut now — not when you’ve lost x amount of weight. go get on that long drive out to the ocean NOW, not when u have that hypothetical daydreamy significant other by your side. you can’t save important life experiences for a self that ultimately doesn’t exist. all you have is you, right now, at this very moment. perfection is a myth anyway, just another perfect word for procrastination. please do not let your life wither away right before your eyes bc u were too busy putting it off

made too many jokes abt being sexy and cool and accidentally developed an ego

nothing will ever piss me off more than how the hunger games provided arguably one of the best critiques of fascism, created an eerily realistic oppressive government regime, highlighted how easy it is to people against each other and glamorize human suffering by throwing a weak love story over the top, fleshed out the metaphor of how it's useless for us to fight with each other when the true enemy are the dictators controlling us, etc and what literally every wannabe YA author (and hollywood, but that's a whole other discussion) took from it all was that love triangles are cool
