Calvin and Hobbes,

It doesn’t happen like that. You don’t just wake up one day and find that everything has worked itself out. You must get out of bed, morning after morning, and make a conscious effort to control the circumstances of that given day. You must learn to handle your issues with grace because you respect what they are attempting to teach you. You must drown your insecurities slowly, one self-realization at a time. You must allow yourself to feel the fear bubbling just beneath your skin but you must never allow it the satisfaction of crippling you; grit your teeth and march on. You see, they never tell you how hard these things will be. This fight to reclaim yourself is not easy or straightforward but, my god, is it necessary. 

lmao as if this wasn’t every piece of lab equipment ever

You know what absolutely boggles my mind? That healthy people exist. Genuinely healthy people. No mental illness, no physical illness, no chronic illness. Just healthy. What a life that must be. 

they always tell you that in research you have to get used to failure, because 99% of the time, something will go wrong. but what they don’t always tell you is that sometimes the thing that goes wrong is your own fault. so not only do you need to be resilient to failure, but also to making mistakes (and owning up to them and learning from them). 

im not trying my hardest but im very tired which i think should be taken into consideration

Anyone else go through that occasional phase where toast and butter is just the tastiest fucking creation on the planet and you have to restrain yourself from eating an entire loaf of bread in ten minutes
