it’s honestly crazy how many ppl u meet in your early twenties who have never been in love or been in a relationship or had sex and then you’re like oh it’s actually normal and social milestones actually mean nothing bc everyone is different and has different experiences. cool!

The whole concept of “late-bloomers” is just another semingly cute name for the the belief that people have expiring dates and only youth is worth it and I wholeheartedly abhorre it

this shouldn’t be a hot take but your life has exactly the same value whether you work 7 days a week or 5 days a week or 2 days a week or 0 days a week. 

your life is valuable because it’s your life, and you have a lot to offer the people around you. it doesn’t matter how much you’re able to work. 

the most important thing is that you are as happy and healthy as possible, whatever that means for you.

here is my advice of the day that i wish someone would have told me sooner

something is always better than nothing.

even if you procrastinated on that assignment and its late as hell - turning it in less than perfect for half credit is better than just not turning it in

if you cant brush your teeth twice a day for 2 minutes apiece and floss - brushing them once a day for 30 seconds is better than not doing any teeth care at all

can’t shower? just wash your face. even with just water. or wipes, if you cant even manage that. No spoons to wash dishes? just rinse them a little with water before you put them in the sink, so when you eventually can do them it will be a little bit easier

something. anything. no matter how small, it’s always better than nothing

your illness will tell you its hopeless. that theres no point in trying if you wont succeed. but in those moments, something is always a success. it is always valuable. and it is always worth doing.

Everyone has bad days, it doesn’t make you weak. Take care of yourself and try again tomorrow.

my dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

Seeing unhealthy patterns in your family and deciding that those pattens end with you and will not be passed down to future generations is an extremely brave and powerful decision.

Forgive yourself for repeating what was taught to you as a child, then put the conscious effort into deprogram these patterns.
