you don’t need to reinvent yourself this summer; you simply need to return to the things that make you feel most like you

clarity of thought is overrated. do it all muddy if you have to. look how the mud outside shapes the earth

accepting that you’re objectively weird & owning it is infinitely better than being constantly desperate to appear normal to people who don’t even matter to you

[stuckinapril]

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

I think that when you're overstimulated you should appear kind of grayed out and no one should be able to interact with you like a locked character in a video game
