I'm so anxious for starting new year like what just give me a break please

[lostinjinslove]

wanna really try this on myself.

If you are easily clouded or overwhelmed, try setting boundaries with yourself first. Be okay to sometimes say no to yourself: no I don’t need to watch this now, no I don’t need to stay up this late, no I don’t need to go to this place, no I don’t need to go out with these people. Say no for you. Saying no to something that doesn’t serve us is saying yes to what does. It allows for something even more amazing to come through for us.

can you believe that the most human trait there is is art? we didn't start making art because it was needed for our survival or it helped us mate or hunt…. we make art for the sake of making it and for you and other people to enjoy it. this is why I love literature and art museums or just looking through my old sketches and stories…. making art is what it means to be human I think.

“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just… start.”

Week 3 - Rain and Roommates

She's watching the rain hit the window.

Her sister was here. He'd nearly lost his temper.

"Sorry about that," she swipes a tear.

He can't bear it, wrapping her in his arms, lying to himself that any set of roommates would do the same.

"No one should treat you that way."

She's warm and soft and everything as she pulls herself into his chest.

"Thank you, James."

"Lily, really, you're amazing. You don't deserve that. You're, you're…"

She looks up, emerald eyes filled with hope.

He acts. Refuses to think. Closing the distance to her perfect mouth.

"You're my everything."

Young and female

I am young

I am female

There's so much I can't do.

I can't walk in the dark,

I can't go out in the mornings

Sunrises, sunsets, I can never enjoy them alone

I can't wear clothes that show too much skin

Because unwanted attention is then my fault

They tell me to bury keys between my knuckles "just in case"

And I dial 999 in dim lit areas

But how do I even know I'm safe then

Harassment lies in the hands of powerful people still, doesn't it?

Don't smile for too long

Don't seem too eager

Don't be too easy

Don't be too noticeable

But danger still strikes in those sun soaked days

In those footsteps behind me

In those hands that lack control

I'm a young girl after all

I'm powerless

And I am weak

I know that because I'm made to feel like that daily

For my own protection or not

I will always feel unsafe.
