25

25 feels so old

24 was full of firsts: first apartment, first date since I was 18 (and first serious boyfriend who I love and actually treats me well), first time in Asia, and so many others. Throughout the year, I was surprised at all of these firsts - I’m an adult, how many more firsts can I have? But then I realized how no matter what stage in life you’re in, there are always firsts. Life is always changing. Coming to terms with constant change. 25 is gonna bring even more change - possibly a new job, year 2 dating Marc (that’s a first for both of us), settling into the new apartment, and even more. Can’t wait to see what 25 has in store :)

I got an email that my tumblr turned 12 today, so I scrolled back and found this. This is what I would tell my 25 year old self

- You’re 29 now. You’ll still feel old but I’m excited and embracing the last year of my 20s and looking forward to a confident, fulfilling decade in my 30s

- you are still facing SO MANY firsts

- year 25 was TRAUMATIC - sorry I couldn’t warn you sooner. But you’ll get through it and come out sadder, but stronger

- you and Marc broke up after year 3 after 2 weeks traveling around Spain and Portugal, and it was the best decision you both ever made for

- FYI you’re also gay

- and dating is really hard

- you’ve been to Asia 3 more times since you posted this!! Pandemic aside, girl you living your best life

- AND you’re in a better apartment now. A safe, comfy home that gave you literal shelter during a time of crisis

- you’ve gotten better at accepting and embracing the constant change, even tho it’s really fucking hard

- you will continue to thrive in this crazy world you live in

I can’t wait to see what’s next

may 2017 be the year of neck kisses, poetry books, rainy afternoons, soft lips, clear skin and relaxed thoughts

The Jonas Brothers are back

And I just have a lot of feelings about it okay? Okay

[confusedflamingo]

there’s nothing to change what has already happened

there’s only dealing with the present and learning how to move forward.

I need to find inner peace and I’m so far from it.

There is so much loss

And I am so heartbroken

[confusedflamingo]

I really do love everything about night shift

Except for the nights when I’m not working, it’s 3:25am, and I can’t sleep.

Christmas was coming.

One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.

Ya know, when a presidential administration is being investigated for crimes, especially treason in this case, you’d think there’d be a halt to their ability of creating or ending legislation, especially when said legislation is considered illegal. Like, this just seems like one of the most important fail safes to have and YET

Autumn pt.4

Things to better your mental health: 1. Learn to become autumn- it has a way of settling with letting go. Don’t grasp onto insignificance, it’ll only do you harm. 2. Write. Even if it’s the most upsetting thing you’ve ever written, do it. Writing is venting, it’s a way to come to terms with how you really feel. 3. Look for something you genuinely enjoy doing, if you can’t find it- take risks. Go on a hike, a drive, get out and do things you’re scared of, even if it’s just to say that you did. 4. Breathe. Inhale, exhale. I know, it’s not okay right now, I know it gets too hard, and yes this is cliché but I promise it will pass. Breathe through it. 5. Don’t stop yourself from opening up to people and don’t forget that a lot of us relate in many ways. We all have demons. We all want to help each other. Try to let it happen.
