After careful consideration and going over multiple options I think the best choice is stay warm and cozy in bed forever.

“When feeling overwhelmed by a faraway goal, repeat the following: I have it within me right now to get me to where I want to be later.”

Constantly repeating to myself “you are not broken you are young and learning how to live” during everything I do everywhere I go all the time

“now i’ve read all of the books beside your bed” is one of the softest lyrics ever it’s a gem

actually, in general… not everyone has a singular purpose in life. not everyone finds their purpose as a teenager, and not everyone has purpose at all.

sometimes you find your purpose in a job, in a hobby, in a relationship, or in a mix of all of those things, and none of those are any more worthy than each other. my purpose is not better or worse than your purpose, they’re just different, and that’s fine

don’t feel disheartened if you don’t have your purpose figured out. it’s okay if you find your purpose in a broad range of places and people. you can live a great life without ever having a grand or overarching “reason for existing”

Learn to say; that’s on you.

Your behavior is on you.

The way you move is on you.

The choices you make are all on you.

Stop absorbing the pain of other people,

Recognize what belongs to you and what doesn’t.

Of course you aren’t going to fit in. You’re living from the heart in a world filled with people who have forgotten they even have one.

I haven’t drawn myself in a while, but this one felt too personal not to. I think society has a big emphasis on “fixing” yourself, which makes sense in the way of therapy or growing as a person. However, sometimes you don’t need fixing because you’re not actually broken. I thought I needed to be more resilient to stress and anxiety, but I actually needed to be kinder to myself, by putting less pressure on myself and working less.

It’s still a work in progress for me, but I hope it can be a little helpful to you all! ♡

Me: my love of politics is as nonexistent as...

Friend: as nonexistent as my respect for your taste in men

I know I'm not a great guy, he said. But I do love you, you know. Of course I do. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I didn't know if you wanted to hear it. I'm sorry.

I was smiling. My eyes were closed still. It felt good to be wrong about everything. Since when have you loved me? I said.

Since I met you, I would think. If I wanted to be very philosophical about it, I'd say I loved you before then.
