please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future.

Tips on getting motivation back?

MOTIVATION IS A MYTH AND WILL NOT GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

Practice discipline and dedication. Know what you want and be willing to put in the work, even if you hate it.

Relying on motivation will leave your ass on the couch watching Netflix for 5 hours because you “don’t feel like studying/exercising/working” but dedication will tell you “bitch, get it together and get going!”

When we seek for someone else to fill a lonliness from within, often it is one’s own self that is also in need of finding.

Love your enemies, and you can love anyone else at all. Love yourself, though, because sometimes our biggest enemy lives there.

Like, the nature of capitalism doesn’t just reward abusive and evil people and give them a space to succeed in, but actively inhibits other people’s ethical growth and makes us all worse people
