IDK who needs to hear this but if there's something in your life that makes you feel better, but you never stick to it,

it's still actually perfectly fine to do it

and you shouldn't stop yourself from starting just because it won't be a permanent change.

Like if starting a new daily planner gives you an amazing afternoon of planning and four days where you feel in charge of your life,

why not do it?

It doesn't matter that it won't be a permanent change - 4 good days is still worth it.

If you ever catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could pray/stretch/prep/plan/do the thing, but I always get started on that and it never lasts more than a couple of days,"

what this really means is, "hey, I can feel better for a couple of days."

if this post is making you think of things in your own life that you wish you could stick to because of how good they make you feel,

just be aware:

you're not thinking of a list of ways you've failed to commit

you're thinking of a list of things that make you happy, and you should give yourself permission to start doing them as often as you want to

NEW QUIZ ALERT

What type of fictional character would you be?

[maelerie]

The Hot One - Very attractive and loved by the fandom for it. Lots of fanart, most likely. Is either extremely vain or is just so effortlessly attractive.

“My body needs it—the hot baths, the care, the soft water, the perfume, the warmth. I take on the colors of the flowers, the bloom, the delicacy. It becomes me.”

Have you considered to maybe be on the aromantic spectrum? I know that might be a scary thing to consider, but it might help you come to terms with your struggles? I am really sorry you’re finding this to be so difficult though. I totally understand how you feel and have also been trying to find out why I am different

Hi anon! I know about aromanticism and asexuality but I never dived into it. I always told myself that I just hadn't found 'the right person' yet. But well... your ask made me wonder. I've just been looking up aromanticism and all that it entails... I'm honestly really connecting to a lot of the characteristics so I want to thank you for making the time to send me this, anon! Not sure if this is the be all, end all for me, but it is a world of knowledge that opens up for me. So thank you again! <3
