(literature girl summer) we're back to finishing a book in two days

connection isn’t about constant conversation. it’s about being felt, even in the silence

go on more walks. walk for no reason. walk to solve a problem. walk to blow off steam. walk to get outside. walk to listen, read, and learn. walk to escape distractions. walk to improve your health. walk to think. a simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.

i will never get over the way time and the environment behaved so differently when i was a kid. a saturday afternoon felt so vast and long. i could get absorbed into the colours and atmosphere of a tv show. even the food was better. even the air

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

i'm literally cuddlebait. i'm internationally recognized as a snuggle risk. they've got me on the registry of snoozers with two charges of soft and reasonable suspicions of smells good

You should start learning an instrument, or start climbing, or singing, or painting or sculpting or gardening or sewing at 20, or 30, or 50, or 80, actually. There is no age when it's not worth learning any of those things anymore. You live to enjoy life and do things that you are interested in and curious about, not to master and perect every craft you partake in. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE HOBBIES, EVEN IF YOU ARE BAD AT THEM.

it’s okay to say ‘this isn’t for me’ or ‘I’m not happy here’ and leave… you don’t have to wait for things to be really bad
