Saturday October 25:

Took my Saturday morning ballet class!

Walked into town for a warm latte, that kept me toasty on the chilly walk back.

Spent the afternoon reading; both for leisure and to get a bit ahead for the week.

to top off the evening, I watched an episode of Over the Garden Wall, as I do every weekend beginning in early October. Creating a sense of time and place has been invaluable for preserving morale in grad school, and today was an exemplary fall day!

i am side questing sooooo hard

agonizing over all the time you wasted or lost is useless. it’s gone now. you survived in the only way you knew how. doesn’t your survival deserve some recognition too?

like toni morrison said, “sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. but the grandeur of life is that attempt. it’s not about that solution. it is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances.”

sooo happy to be done with this hectic week. i don't have classes or work on fridays, so it will be a chill day tomorrow, although i do need to catch up on all the work that's piled up.

this was actually the first proper week of this semester; it is always stressful when i find out the workload for each of my classes. i hope i can keep up with everything during the upcoming intense weeks.

unfortunately i don't have any better pictures from this week, so here are some emotional support coffees that helped me through it. i feel like my latte art skills are slowly but surely improving :')

Enjoying my golden weekend after finishing my NICU rotation.

first step to living a better life is believe you deserve it. you deserve good things. i promise.

[01/05] life has been so peaceful lately. (maybe because I have been neglecting the 7 courses I have to attend to. maybe).

The whole self love thing is good and all but some people can’t fathom being loved. They can’t imagine there being anything good about them. So they can’t simply just stop doing unhealthy things, there’s a process.

Before self love you have to invoke self tolerance and self neutrality.

If you can’t say “I love my body!” say “my body gets me from place to place.”

If you can’t say “I’m beautiful,” begin by shutting down the “I’m ugly” thoughts and saying “I’m a person.”

If you can’t say “I’m valuable” begun by shutting down the “I’m worthless” thoughts and say “all people deserve basic respect, and I’m a person.”

If you can’t say “I’m important,” or “I’m kind” say “I am the one who waters my plant every week” or “I am the one who tips the kind barista down the street” or “I am the one who makes sure my dog does not eat plastic” or “I am the one who leaves long comments on people’s fan fictions.”

I’ve genuinely never seen a way to bridge the gap, especially body-wise. There’s loads about self-confidence and loving your body EVERYWHERE, but no one really explains how to get there. It’s great to have the former, but I’m glad this info is out there.

The weekend was nice and now I'm sitting here, trying to prepare my classes for tomorrow. My mind is everywhere but at work.

Today, I tried out my new pottery wheel for the first time and it turned out better than expected (I expected nothing, to be fair haha). I think I might really get into this new hobby...

Time is flying by and I want it to slow down and double the hours in each day... I'm so grateful for this life.
