“Have you ever had to get through a day, smiling at people, talking, as if everything were normal and okay, while all the the time you felt like you were carrying a leaden weight of unhappiness inside you?”

— Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation (via books-n-quotes)

Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people. Where do the black trees go that drink here? Their shadows must cover Canada.

A little light is filtering from the water flowers. Their leaves do not wish us to hurry: They are round and flat and full of dark advice.

Cold worlds shake from the oar. The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes. A snag is lifting a valedictory, pale hand;

Stars open among the lilies. Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens? This is the silence of astounded souls.

— Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water

I think sometimes people who have mental illness (myself included) forget that the reason we may be so tired all the time, is because we’re expending our energy with internally fighting inside ourselves. We’re using up our energy to tackle anxiety, or depression, or whatever the case may be. Fighting against that, along with doing daily chores? Studying? Keeping up with life in general? It can be EXHAUSTING.

So don’t ever feel bad if you need to take a breather for a small while. Don’t feel guilty for needing to nap and replenish those energy juices. Your body is amazing in the way that it can tell us what we need. You gotta take care of yourself, so don’t for a second believe that rest and recooperation has a time restraint on it. Everyone grows at different paces, and that includes rest. So keep growing.

some friendly reminders everyone needs to hear✨

stop living for others, and live for yourself. life is short, so don’t waste time on trying to gain other’s validation.

live more in the moment. take a second to just breathe and forget about yesterday or tomorrow.

stop wishing that your life could be different. the right things and people will come at the right time.

be grateful for the little things in life.

take responsibility for your life. stop blaming other people or things for your own downfalls.

be the kindest person you can be. to others and yourself.

take care of yourself. rest when you need to. drink some water and put on a face mask. don’t drive yourself into a burnout.

don’t wait for the “perfect” time to do that thing. don’t wait for yourself to become confident or the new year or that spark of inspiration. start now. there is no perfect time.

treat everyday as a new beginning. you can start over whenever you need to.

do your best. even if you’re not where you want to be right now, keep going. hard work pays off.

I didn’t know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I’d cry for a week.
