we all talk about doing it scared doing it alone doing it weird etc. but the the hideously awful truth is that you also often have to do it stupid
#i used to care so badly about doing things quote unquote properly#and it held me back HARD in law school#and the one fucking thing that stopped me from all that resistance and perfection#was learning to play an instrument that took a lot of dedication and#LOTS of embarrassment#anyway im more open and receptive and humiliated (positive)

what’s your ‘thing’ as a friend. i don’t mean like ‘oh im the mom friend’ i mean like what’s the Thing where if one of your friends was looking for a specific interaction they’d message you first. personally i can always be relied upon to get hyped about bugs, literature, and cursed internet images.
#im many things to many ppl#mostly the cooking friend#but if we're very very very very close the fandom friend

Reminder: learning isn’t supposed to make you feel bad. Sometimes the """right""" way doesn’t work and it’s alright. There is beauty to be found in chaos.

one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

mundane tasks like wiping down surfaces & folding the laundry can be spiritual practices and even blessings if we allow them to be
#the sims was right#if you let your environment decay youll feel like a rotting husk#conversely if u take the time to tidy around you it feels like#a breath#the feeling that you can care for yourself as well#an act of kindness

"it is difficult to speak of the night" (jack gilbert)
I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.
#this is for all of my late bloomers out there#tmi but i didnt think that there was much purpose or beauty to life until i turned#24? 25?#somehow the world had color and promise and i knew what i wanted more and i knew myself more#well also it helped that my doctor told me i might have adhd#sometimes everything will fall into place later for some ppl and it's natural!#another favorite line i chant this time from ts eliot#there will be time there will be time#there will be time to murder and create#inspiration#sam screams
