Studying at the university I dreamed about for years is the biggest privilege I have ever been afforded, I will not waste it by refusing to work hard!

And so, the woman dies. The woman dies so the man can be sad about it. The woman dies so the man can suffer. She dies to give him a destiny. Dies so he can fall to the dark side. Dies so he can lament her death. As he stands there, brimming with grief, brimming with life, the woman lies there in silence. The woman dies for him. - The Woman Dies by Aoko Matsuda

[H]old firm to this central truth: there is no "best version" of you.

There is only this version, which stands head and shoulders above all the hypothetical versions you can imagine by virtue of being real and here in the face of everything you have already overcome.

COOL IDEAS TO DO ALONE

★ curate a playlist for a version of your future self

★ write a dramatic letter to no one and hide it in a random book

★ digitally scrapbook your problems like it’s an aesthetic project

★ go to a thrift store and try on things you’d never wear just to be chaotic

★ organize your life in Notion while pretending you’re a CEO

★ make a list of your personal aesthetics and create moodboards for each one

★ record a voice diary entry like you’re narrating a documentary about your life

★ design your dream bedroom on Pinterest or Canva

★ write a scene where you meet your soulmate in a weird but oddly specific situation

★ spend the whole evening making your Tumblr blog or Pinterest feel like a tiny cozy universe
