It's okay if you don't feel hopeful about the future right now. If hope is out of reach, try curiosity instead.

Most people's twenties are spent being upset at how other people around them think and feel and it takes like the whole decade to realize you can't control it, shouldn't want to, wouldn't get what you wanted if you could, and that actually maybe get over yourself and then life starts to get really good around there

Very precious kind knowledge to live through

Sometimes I randomly remember how the most important people of my life from like 6-7 years ago are not in my life at all anymore and that's sort of terrifying and also crazy to realize how you actually can survive loss beyond your comprehension and find happiness stronger and more suited for you if you keep going

[kedelaii]

this time again . so hard to relate to anything or anyone. and words just keep on stumbling heavy and clunky. so bad it’s like a comical out of body experience

Best piece of advice I could give anyone is to stay away from anything that makes you feel small. People, places, situations… And continually check yourself about it too. Like regularly ask yourself if you feel like you’re closing in on yourself or opening up and able to bloom

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

a bunch of random things life has taught me in no particular order:

happy moments should be cherished, not over-thought

people will come and go no matter how long you wait for them or how badly you want them to stay

making new friends opens up whole new worlds

apologies can make all the difference

random acts of kindness can change someone’s day from bad to bearable

the only person you’re stuck with is you so learn to love, forgive, and accept yourself

sometimes the worst people for us are the ones we think are the best

it’s not selfish to be personally hurt by something and anyone who tells you otherwise probably feels guilty themselves

the world can feel ugly at times, but don’t overlook the beautiful things or they may just not be there one day

tell people you love that you love them even if you think it’s implied

don’t betray your friends

being yourself takes time since change happens often, so it’s okay to not know who you are at any given time

never give up on your dreams or you’ll regret all the things you could’ve done

don’t ever lose yourself in the name of love

trust yourself

life has its highs and lows, so be prepared for how low the lows can be

do things spontaneously— just for the fun of it

better to regret than to wonder “what if” forever

always make sure people know you’re there for them

there’s never a perfect time, and if you wait too long, you lose your chance

everyone has shit going on in their lives, so be kind to people

always be thankful for the people who have stuck around

don’t waste time beating yourself up over things you can’t change

if you’re trying to decide between holding on and letting go, it’s probably time to let go

hug longer

shoutout to 2020 me for writing these and them not being super cringe to look back on
