does no one want to adore me and love me and fawn over me and dote on me and tell me how one of a kind and special and indispensable and poignant and irreplaceable and one in a lifetime I am anymore

If it works out that’s fantastic and if it doesn’t it was still a learning experience and nothing is eternally damaging so long as you have the ability to breathe and change course when need be and you shouldn’t compare yourself to anyone else because we are all on entirely different timelines and rejection is redirection and if something doesn’t work out something better can always supplant it and life is too short not to surround it w people who truly love you and you can always find your people no matter what stage of life you’re in and there are too many people in this world for you to settle and nothing that happened in your life is pointless bc it shaped you into exactly who you are today and you can break the cycle whenever you choose to and it’s fine and it’ll work out and you’ll be alright and I love you

Might start doing this actually

Going to get into the habit of carrying my journal everywhere w me bc I truly want to soak up every snapshot of this transitional period where I’m just a 22 year old girl finding my footing and the only thing I’m tied to are the decisions I make and the path I carve for myself

Best first date tip advice I ever got is not to do too much . Like not even in terms of “oh if ur in a pretty dress and ur hair is all done then it’s gonna come off as desperate” I literally just mean that putting hours of planning into a first date will set up SO many expectations. Like you will be inclined to think it has to be the best first date of ur life, only to be disappointed when u guys don’t click or the other person doesn’t put in as much effort or whatever. Also you’re literally doing all that for a stranger and like no stranger is worth all the trouble

Anyone who ever said the key to life is always having something to look forward to is so right . The days are so much brighter when there’s always something to look forward to

I don’t support keeping your shit together anymore. Panic about everything. Start fights with people . Life is too short go absolutely fucking insane

i'm afraid to live my life, i feel guilty, i feel—shut the fuck up. step 1. shut the fuck up. step 2. shut the fuck up. step 3. focus on your breath. ruminating doesn't do shit. it just makes you feel bad. you're not accomplishing anything, you're not even being introspective, you're not being a 'good person' by telling yourself that you're a bad person; you're just sitting there exacerbating your anxiety. feel the cool air going in and out of your nostrils. feel your neck, arms, legs, shoulders, jaw, and whatever else that is tense. relax that shit or at least release some of the tension, if possible. stop clenching things. remember breath. remember cool air. fix posture. relax shoulders. sit or stand or lay comfortably. remember breath. remember cool air. don't try to avoid the thoughts but, rather, acknowledge them and move on lightly. it's ok if you can't. but remember that they are just there. they are guests who have overstayed their welcome. they are just thoughts. you will be ok. remember breath. remember cool air. you will be ok

Oh god it’s the same lesson again in a different form

[pyrriarchy]

cant believe im letting people online see into my heart. for free

[pyrriarchy]

i'll never be fully offline because online is where the awesome women thinkers from around the world congregate to share little details about their days and what they're interested in

you have to stop hating yourself for not taking care of yourself before you can start taking care of yourself in a more sustainable way

Everybody shut up I'm sinking into a daydream universe where I'm loved and nothing is wrong
