I am overthinking again. I don't know how I could become this mess again. How I've got so bad again. I don't know what happend, because I am a totally different person compared to this time last year.
Better yet, "...compared to this time last MONTH."
It was good, and nothing good is truly lost. It stays part of a person, becomes part of their character. So part of you goes everywhere with me. And part of me is yours, forever.
— Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers
I hear people say 'eventually you'll get used to loosing friends and you won't hurt when they leave.' But I call bullshit on that. You lying to yourself and to others. Each time you loose a friend, the hurt is a special type of hurt. Some deep and overwhelming, and others not as much, but it still hurts. Trust me, I know.
"Those candle flames were like the lives of men. So fragile. So deadly. Left alone, they lit and warmed. Let run rampant, they would destroy the very things they were meant to illuminate. Embryonic bonfires, each bearing a seed of destruction so potent it could tumble cities and dash kings to their knees."
Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1)
Some songs just catch you offgurad. One minute you are listening to a Play list, minding your own business, and then this song comes on and BOOM... all over a sudden you miss someone or some place, you start fighting to hood your tears at bay, you get that empty feeling deep down and the world just seems a lot darker than it was a few minutes ago.
Submissions do feel a whole lot different when you are enjoying the process.... I can testify. 😊 #architecturestudent #architecturestudentlife #workingfromhome #workpleasure #itsthesimplethings #guiltypleasures https://www.instagram.com/p/CDbbilkhHg1/?igshid=3l1pr0fb39qq
People are crying for “order” to return and I’m just like order for who?
Order for the privileged, the illusion of order for others, and back to the abusive relationship some people have with a narcissistic system that the rest of society turns a blind eye to?
I have never read 'truer' words in my life.... thank you for that.

I never hated you. I hated the fact that you thought I hated you.
Nights I can't sleep
So beautiful, yet so misunderstood

Those eyes though... It's like she's looking into the deepest darkest corners of his soul

LIFE TIPS PT. I
if it takes less than two minutes, do it now
always carry a water bottle!! you’ll (obviously) drink more water but you’ll also save money on buying drinks when you’re out on hot days
if you notice something you like about someone, tell them. genuine compliments are way too few and far between.
when you meet someone, repeat their name back to them. it’ll help you remember it (bc i am the worst at zoning out and immediately forgetting someone’s name)
give yourself a time limit to get work done. you’ll do more up against a 30 minute timer than if you have all day to get something done
also: be specific with your goals. if you want it done by winter, say you’ll do it one november 15. it’s easy to let time slip by.
no one’s forcing your friends to hang out with you. they want to be around you. don’t try to convince yourself otherwise.
never under estimate the power of a hot meal if you’re feeling unmotivated. take a break and make a grilled cheese dude
always keep $20 in your car for emergences
have a binder/folder to keep all your financial/important documents together. even if you don’t organize them beyond that it’ll make them so much easier to find when you need them
don’t sleep w makeup on!! keep a travel size thing of makeup wipes by your bed for nights that you’re too exhausted to wash your face for real
if you’re studying/working and can’t focus, go outside and take a walk around the building. stare at the sky for a minute. it helps.
networking: when you meet someone, put some notes in with their contact. remembering their kids’ names will make you stand out
fold your clothes while they’re still warm + you won’t have to iron later
get that chair out of your room. we all know your dirty clothes are sitting in it more than you are.
instead, stick some hooks on your closet door for those sorta-clean, sorta-dirty clothes that you wanna wear again
keep a running list on your phone of songs you hear that you like, books you want to read, etc
write down all your friends birthdays!!
if you can’t sleep, try to imagine something in great detail. design your dream house. plan your wedding. whatever makes you happy + relaxed
get dressed as soon as you get up, even if you aren’t going anywhere. it’s hard to feel productive in sweat pants.
if you don’t ask, the answer is always no
thrift stores are super trendy lately, but they really are great for finding high-quality clothing for cheap.
don’t read the comments section. especially if it’s something you actually care about.
fresh veggies go bad fast, so if you can’t get to the store often have a couple frozen bags of your favs on hand!!
also, pasta is crazy cheap and easy to make into a meal. add some olive oil and those frozen veggies and bam, grown up meal in no time.
be intentional with your friendships. if you want to see someone again, set a date instead of the old “let’s get coffee sometime!” that never actually happens
libraries exist!! and theyre fantastic!!!
if you’re buying anything, always google “_______ coupons” while you’re in line. you can usually find one, esp at chains!!
if it’s not something you need, put it back and sleep on it. if you want it bad enough to go back and get it a day or two later, it’s (probably) worth the money.
also, think if you’ll enjoy it for the same amount of time if took to earn that money. doesn’t work with everything (food, experiences), but for things like clothes/technology/home goods, it can help you save some $$$
you don’t have to do something if it makes you unhappy. sure, there are times that you have to suck it up and power through, but 99% of the time you have to option to say no and get outta there.
be kind. seriously you hear it a lot but it is so important.
Pot of gold..... No kidding
