Gentle reminder: If you dont know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the most healthiest, happiest, most healed, most perfect, most confident version of yourself. The right path will reveal itself.

Sending love to everyone who is just... tired. Life is a lot, and sometimes the answer to it all is to just be still and silent for a while. Give yourself space and grace. Whether it’s decision fatigue, anxiety fatigue, information fatigue, routine fatigue, getting life back together fatigue, career fatigue, social fatigue, financial fatigue, or physical fatigue—take a moment to breathe and recharge. You deserve it.

a powerful reset for 2025

create a “no” list

write down things you’re absolutely saying no to in 2025, like overworking, toxic relationships or procrastinating and respect your boundaries.

unsubscribe from things that don’t add value

this goes from e-mails, streamings and services to beliefs, commitments, addictions, habits and everything that drain your energy and no longer makes sense to you.

set small, realistic goals

big and vague goals are harder to achieve. we all did at least once some megalomaniac goals that we didn’t achieved because they were too unrealistic to that moment. instead, set goals that you can achieve to fulfill your sense of accomplishment and actually accomplish something.

have a pre-reset day before 2025

disconnect from your phone for a couple hours and journal about what you’re leaving behind and what you’re welcoming in this new year. align with yourself and what you want and deserve. meditate about the vibe you want from now on.

give yourself permission to change

we often stay stuck in old versions of ourselves, so let this new year be the year you let go of outdated expectations you (or society) put into yourself. change your mind! take risks! start over!

redesign you bedroom

if you can, change up your bedroom (or any room you can/want) to create a space that feels fresh and motivating for the new year, like adding fairy lights, plants, move your bed and desk, create a functional corner to study/work. any small changes can make a big difference in how you feel at home.

prioritize! mental! health!

because a strong foundation in health, specially mental health in this era, is essential and boosts every other part of your life. try to live slower, don’t overconsume in social medias, don’t overshare, do therapy, take your meds/vitamins, journal about your feelings, have a trusting person you can always vent to and get help.

I think having small friendly interactions with strangers is so important for humanity

Life is not over when you turn 30. If anything, life is more stable and enjoyable and you're more mature. Everyone who's over 30 tells me how much safer they feel in life and that their 20's really was for trauma, pain, mental illness and that their 30's are a safer space and a happier space. Being scared to get older is such a brainwashing, ageist thing. Good things are coming.

It's liberating when you realise nothing and no one will ever truly belong to you.

Appreciate experiences for what they are, you don't need to label or control them.

how do I learn to love myself

a common misconception about self-love is that it means you can never dislike anything about yourself - which to me is entirely unrealistic.

when you love a piece of art you have created, chances are you didn't love it as soon as you placed the first stroke. you love the end result. you love looking at it and knowing the process behind it, you love the knowledge that you made the right choices because you have erased or drawn over the wrong ones.

in that same vein, don't pressure yourself into this weird place of guilt because you think of loving yourself as something you must be doing right this second.

give yourself some time to put in the effort. place those first strokes, the starting points from which the person you'll love being will be born. give yourself some grace as you go. challenge negative ideas you might have about yourself, cultivate gratitude for the you that's here now if loving them feels too big, and keep on working on them with care and intent.

it’s my third day since i quit smoking. it’s been more difficult than i thought it’d be, especially because i smoked as a coping mechanism… but i know i’ll be rewarded for this very soon 🤍

if you, the person reading this, are a smoker, this is your sign to quit and start 2025 healthier!

People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.

People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.

Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.

“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”

It’s kind of demoralizing for conversations about bipolar disorder to be constantly overshadowed by bpd, like it’s some kind of competition. Bipolar tags on this website are flooded with posts about bpd. Everyone ignores the concept of rapid cycling. People think that mania always has to be euphoric and sexual. People think you can’t experience more than 1 emotion in a manic episode. People don’t know the difference between bpd euphoria and bipolar mania. People ignore the psychotic aspects of some bipolar subtypes. It’s, quite frankly, exhausting.
