it’s never too late to start again. 5pm on a thursday can be your new monday. you don’t have to wait until the new year to better yourself. time is an illusion, don’t forget that. just because you woke up at 1pm, it doesn’t mean you messed your whole day up and that you can’t turn the mood around. it’s never too late to start again!!!!!

“It is not our job to remain whole.

We came to lose our leaves

Like the trees, and be born again,

Drawing up from the great roots.”

I want to do something that matters to me.

That matters to a lot of people.

I don’t want to look back on my youth as a waste of time, of my body, of my spirit.

I feel like I continuously am letting myself down. I sleep too much, I eat too much, I wallow too much, I am lost.

These are such harsh words but they’re the only ones I know right now. I love myself and believe that I have an explosive amount of goodness within me that’s dying to burst out of my every pore, every fiber. 

I just don’t know how to do it.

I am drowning in social media influence. It’s keeping me from seeing who I really am.

Social media is like a murky, vast ocean, and all of our heads are rapidly bobbing in and out of the water, all of us screaming and asking to be heard above the others.

I can’t think very clearly anymore. I’m not sure that anyone can.

I am an addict.

When I’m lonely, I sift through instagram stories. When I’m overjoyed, I share my life on my own account. Where does the real living come into play?

The thought of deleting my account or taking long periods away is a very scary thought. I don’t know what to do. I want to delete Instagram from my phone.

Reading this back, it seems so silly. How could I be so afraid of something like this? How can it take hold of me in such a bizarre way? It’s just an app, right?

I am 24 years old and so far, I have spent my entire young adulthood/adulthood as a byproduct of the social internet.

I am scared. I am tired. I want to be done. I want to free myself and live my life away from all of this.

its really comforting to know that all the times i was at my lowest and loneliest in the past the whole time i had my self in the future and present who had survived those things looking back with love and tenderness and wishing desperately to offer comfort…i am my own guardian angel and i can use that knowledge when im struggling now and remember that somewhere there is a version of me that has survived this and is watching me with love and pride and joy in her heart

shout out to me in 5 years…hope shes doing something cool i’m rooting for her

I go to college and am only home about once a month, but since I’m home for the whole summer now, I’ve decided that enough is enough with the laundry room (which doubles as a bathroom). Every time I’m here, it’s in a worse state of chaos than it was the last time I saw it. So after days of cleaning, this is the final result!

It took countless loads of laundry to break down the growing mountain that had accumulated. I also washed the mats on the floor and the toilet seat cover. After getting everything washed, dried, folded and put away, I thoroughly scrubbed and wiped down just about every surface of the room, gave the floors their first mopping in who knows how long, and brought some plants in for a little pop of life and color! I also thought that putting something rather large and obstructive in the part of the room where we normally just haphazardly throw our laundry would prevent another mountain from arising in the future - so that explains the addition of the wicker shelf with the plants.

This was a massive undertaking and was definitely not an easy project at first, but once things got going, it became exciting and fulfilling! Nothing is too messy to fix - if I can do it, anyone can! :)
