24.02.2018; seriously, it’s time to work, i haven’t done as much as i should this week and i have the weekend to fix that. i have a big deadline approaching in a few days and if i miss it i’ll be so angry with myself… it’s an extremely important one.

Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.

Honestly I think one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to separate your negative qualities from your identity.

Instead of saying “I’m lazy,” saying “I’ve made a habit of not doing work unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Instead of saying “I’m a bad friend,” saying “I haven’t communicated as much as I should with the people I care about.”

By being specific about your problems, and by framing it as an action that you are consciously either working on or ignoring rather than an unchangeable part of who you are, you allow yourself to accept your mistakes and work constructively on them instead of pretending they didn’t happen or wallowing in blaming yourself.

Studying, done right, can be the most rewarding of all activites. It is stimulating, but relaxing. You’re focused, but wandering through your mind.  Your mind is abuzz, but your body breathes slow. You’re alone, but in the company of millenia of thinking. You pick something up, take it apart and you make it your own. You’re literally assembling your future thoughts. You’re in control of how you will see the world.

You’re growing, but you’re raising yourself.

Autumn Semester - Week 1, Sunday

Guess who moved the furniture around once more? Yes, I did. My desk/table feels more functional that way. I spent my morning reorganising my flat (I planned it all last night), and most of my afternoon on Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher. It’d left me unimpressed at my first reading, but I loved it while rereading it and looking for clues this afternoon. The autumn vibe is truly here now between the orange-coloured candle (peach scent), the apple/cinnamon/almond snack, and the new October wallpaper from @emmastudies​.

today’s a regular sunday but still we have so much to be grateful for. one can be grateful for being alive, for being able to lead a healthy life, for being given the choice to create the day that we wish to. it’s so much. however, do remember that you can create a much better and successful life if you work now. the hustle won’t stop, so conquer life while you can.
