learning another language is always beautiful, no matter how long it takes. like, what do you mean you are crying because you had to read a sentence twice to get it, when at the beginning you had to do it five times? kicking yourself because you had to listen to an audio at .75x to understand it fully, when two months ago you could barely understand one or two words, even at your second try? getting mad because you had to research how to spell a word, when a few days back you didn't even know how to pronounce it? hell, that's amazing. keep going. you'll get there.

remember that interviews are not about giving a good and honest first impression that they'll carefully consider. interviews are about saying the special words and phrases they're looking for that give you points and when they tally those up whoever earned the most job points wins

they don't want to "know you" they want you to walk in there and regurgitate everything the job description said

isnt even a joke btw if you're autistic and/or unemployed and nobody taught you this yet i'm really sorry

try not to waste your energy on things that no longer benefit your health and happiness even if they did in the past

sometimes i will see the girls thirstposting on tumblr and just know they are ovulating. this is not your heart baby

your progress doesn’t have to be seen, celebrated or validated by others to be real. just because you prefer to get better without sharing that journey, doesn’t mean it’s not valid yet. what you’re doing right now, the effort you put in, has always been and will always be something that you can be proud of yourself for, even if it’s on your own.
