It really is so strange growing apart from a friend. Not because you fought, or hurt each other, but because whatever held you together before simply doesn’t anymore. it’s weird someone can know so much about you, and one day you realize they’re just not a part of your life anymore.

It’s just surreal to me that the first people I called back in high school when my dad died aren’t even in my phone contacts anymore. 

There are people who have seen me at my very worst and loved me through it, and people who saw me shine and shared in my happiness, and I haven’t said their names in years.

They probably haven’t said mine.

At first, it’s sad. But eventually, it becomes a happy thing, knowing that wherever I have been, wherever they have been, we have been loved. We loved each other, they have new love in their life now, and so do I.

There was a time when we needed each other, and we had each other. I’ll be grateful for that forever. Who would I have become without them? I’ll love who we were together forever. That feels good. I’m happy to have that.

respect your body when it’s asking for a break. respect your mind it’s seeking to rest. honor yourself when you need a moment.

If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.

Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.

I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.

I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”

I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.

Your body is an incredibly bizarre machine.

“What you see is a myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament to the inner part of the brain’s parietal cortex which creates happiness. Happiness. You’re looking at happiness.”

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu
