yesterday's tomorrow.

“I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”

You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now, and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead.

“I’m good at making people feel good because I have had a lot of practice on myself. Practice on myself because I feel sad a lot.”
