maybe the purpose of life is to fill it with as many positive things as you can. regardless of how bad life gets, don’t let it steal your personality, your hobbies, your style. after coming home from a bad day at work maybe you need to sit down and read a nice book. after studying non-stop for so long, maybe you should finish that crochet project you’ve been putting off because you’re so busy. maybe we should prioritize the things we love, the things that make us happy, and not just the things we’re forced to do to survive. in this society, a little peace from the outside world is important. don’t give up on the things that make you happy. don’t forget about yourself.

Don't know who needs to read this, but stop stressing about who you'll be in the future and start honoring how phenomenal you are in the present.

“You don’t know what a wild, crazy longing I have, what an ache there is inside me.”

actually i love growing older and learning how i work as a person like realizing what kinds of fabrics feel best on my skin or what brand of yogurt i like best or how I want to be touched. watching myself change, enjoying brussel sprouts when I used to hate them as a child, understanding why I got angry in that one conversation 10 years ago... there are so many mysteries inside me that i have yet to unravel and there will always be more and sometimes i think maybe its all worth it

You don’t need a good reason to exist right now. You don’t need a grand purpose or anything. Just be here, have a nice laugh, and be yourself. And if there’s a day where you aren’t able to do that, you have tomorrow and all your days after that. I love you.

maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.

You deserve a calm love with somebody who is good for your mental health and nervous system.
