i feel like ive accomplished nothing so i decided to open tumblr then realized the little things that i commit to actually count. i dont have any emotions associated to them. i guess that’s what normal feels like. there’s definitely less anxiety when i put myself first in situations where i usually forget myself and think about saving others, fixing people and their problems. adult people. i keep having to remind myself it’s not an act of kindness nor selflessness when i go out of my way to help people while neglecting myself and my needs. anyway. i just gained clarity. just needed to unload that.

How to protect yourself from envy and look after your energy:

Practice ‘strategic silence’: Do not share your plans before they become a reality. The energy of others' doubt can contaminate your enthusiasm before the project has taken root.

Learn to identify ‘backhanded compliments’: If someone celebrates your achievements but immediately adds a ‘but’ or attributes them to luck, take mental note. Emotional distance is the best protection.

Stop trying to be everyone's savior: Envy often arises when you try to help someone who does not want to make an effort. Your brilliance reminds them of their lack of action, and that breeds resentment.

Success requires a tight circle: In 2026, be more selective than ever. Surround yourself with people who are already where you want to be; they will not envy you because they already know the path of effort.

Apply the technique of ‘Selective Indifference’:Envy feeds on your reaction. If someone tries to belittle you and you act as if you haven't noticed, the energy of that attack dissolves.

Deep digital cleansing: Do not allow people who do not wish you well to have a window into your private life through social media. Blocking or restricting is an act of self-love, not immaturity.

Work on your sense of worthiness: The envy of others only affects you if you feel guilty about your success. When you know you have worked hard, the judgement of others loses all its power over you.

Do not lower your standards to fit in: Sometimes, for fear of envy, we stop shining. That is a mistake. The best response to negativity is to continue growing and being happy. Your happiness is your greatest shield.

Other tips:

Do not let other people's opinions affect you.

When someone treats you badly, it has nothing to do with you, but with that person.

Do energy cleansing every week, with meditation or incense.

one thing people take for granted is being able to pay bills on time. not living in anxiety and losing sleep while waiting for insurance payment to go through. i think it might’ve been sorted out. 3 bank days they say. if it’s true then i would calm down. but idk if it is.

i must have missed the memo that h&m has stopped selling leggings. does nobody wear them anymore these days? like the mother of all basics, classic & timeless—you never go wrong putting on a pair of black leggings while you still look neat & intentional. yalls gen-z clean girls hate them or what?

Today I said yes to myself while saying no to everything else around me. I feel really bad about it but I have to constantly remind myself that what’s best for me doesn’t always have to feel good.

hello new planner.

walking out of the bookstore feels as exciting and walking into it. i think this bag describes that feeling beautifully as i walk home with it carrying the stories told and will be told.
