the shard

Do things at the pace that suits you. 🌸

online school is tough, it’s a new challenge for a lot of us but it being a challenge doesn’t mean you are incapable of it. you may not do as well as you have in past semesters and that’s okay. you are going through something. we all are, collectively. you are just as smart as you have ever been, you’ve just been tossed into new waters without any paddles. you’ll make it through.

if you're a student at all, please take care of yourself. you don't need to compete with your classmates for who slept the least or who drank the most coffee. eat breakfast and go to sleep a little earlier. lay off studying for a night and do something nice for yourself. your body and brain will thank you.

rejection isn't the end of the world, no matter how much it might feel like it.

gotta keep going

not every battle can be won in a day. few can, actually. keep going. keep fighting. please persevere. in time, things always get better. until then, acknowledge and be proud of any progress you make, however small. remember: healing isn’t immediate, and it isn’t always obvious either.

its okay if you're melting down, this is a scary time to be a person. stay safe, stay loving, stay alive
