“I always read. You know how sharks have to keep swimming or they die? I’m like that. If I stop reading, I die.”

—Patrick Rothfuss

Nothing else can sum me up any better.

"i'm killing myself" is a morally neutral statement to me. she's like a daughter who I love past all her flaws

you will get up & you will make that to do list & you will be realistic about your limits & you will take it easy but steady & you will eat good food & you will get things done & you will move your body & you will do things that make you happy & you will limit your screen time & you will be the thing that saves you

Recently discovered, fully by accident, that the trick to feeling like you have more time in the day is to actually do shit with the time that's there, which seems fake and wrong and it's frankly infuriating that it works >:|

My cat is a sweet angel who realized I was sick as I lay sweltering on the couch last night and decided the only way to heal me was if she purred ON my face.

I gently and weakly tried to remove her several times. Tried hissing and growling softly in her language, which usually dissuades her. I was literally treated like a newborn kitten screaming complaints as their mom stomps all around them. My cat’s whole energy was “oh well, human, I know you are ignorant, but I promise this is what’s best for you.”

Second cat was on my legs but was less sympathetic — scratched my feet if I tried to shift position at all during the night.

You know what. Good point.

there’s actually nothing sweet or nice about being an extremely sentimental person. feeling wistful and romantic about everything is also a great way to be let down by…….. everything

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.

i hope that in 2025 u get to take more walks, read more books, connect with more people whom u love and who love u, achieve ur goals (even if ur goals are having no goals and just living in the moment), exercise fun hobbies, move from a place of self-direction, and weave together a beguiling assortment of beautiful little moments. remember that no feeling lasts forever. love u

[stuckinapril]

and i actually hope u learn to forgive urself a little more and operate from self compassion rather than self flagellation. this is ur first time living - there is no rehearsal to any of this. u will live and u will learn. drink lots of water in the morning and dance to ur favorite music first thing. u are not uniquely horrible, but just learning how to live. u got this <3

having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing
