I'm sorry for being serious all of the sudden, but to anyone who is still here because they want to be there for someone, wether that be a family member, a friend, a pet, etc, thank you so much for being alive

I understand that type of feeling, not really wanting to keep going for my own sake, but going on anyway because I don't want the people I love to feel sad if I were gone one day

If it hasn't happened already, I hope someday soon you can be alive for your own sake as well, you deserve to feel that kind of self love

you deserve relationships that are good for you

I’m such a slut for casual intimacy. Like yesss rest your chin on my shoulder while we're in line at the grocery store, I live for that shit.

you have done all you can for today. don’t worry: it’s enough

sometimes i wish i could grab my childhood self and shake them by the shoulders and say YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES ARE MADE BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN. YOU ARE NOT DAMNED. SOMEDAY YOU WILL CRY OVER SUNSETS AND POETRY MORE THAN YOUR OWN PAIN. I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. but i can't go back in time, so i say it to myself now. because i believe there's a future version of me looking back on this moment feeling the exact same way.

I romanticise everything because I am made of love and starlight

Today may be hard, tomorrow may be hard, but one day you will look back and realize how strong you are.

Tip for executive dysfunction: we've all heard "break it down into easier steps," right? But what is "easier"?

Make it tiny. Make the steps tiny little kindergartner steps, make them so small it's hilarious. Make "eat food" into "take one step. Take another. Reach out your arm. Hold the handle of the cabinet. Open the cabinet. Hold the bread. Pull down the bread. Etc."

Congratulate yourself between each. Pretend you are a tiny baby preschooler that needs explanation for how to do small things. Make it dumb, make it silly, make it manageable. Make yourself laugh, and let yourself laugh.

Great job.

and that there’s so much more to be experienced!!! :-)

there is no such thing as being "behind in life" but it's okay to recognise that you missed out on some things whilst you were busy surviving

one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it

human nature is holding the door for people behind you. it’s buying someone their favorite candy because you saw it and thought of them. it’s going on long drives with someone just to have their company. it’s helping someone pick up the papers they dropped. it’s sharing your softest blankets and favorite snacks. it’s giving a stranger in line a little extra cash to help them cover their expenses. it’s buying someone their favorite drink because you remembered when you were getting lunch. human nature is not selfishness or greed. it’s the capacity for kindness. saying otherwise is just an excuse for dickheadery when you know you can do better.

love will find its way back to you. it might not be what you’re expecting, but there will be love
