A State of Metanoia @riversandroadsriversandroads - Tumblr Blog

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.

Fred Rogers Acceptance Speech - 1997

Our neighbor didn’t die, he was just needed someplace else.

He took a moment that was about recognizing him and turned it into a moment to recognize everyone who was there and everyone who made it possible for him to do what he does. If you want a perfect example of why he is so fondly remembered and such a great person, it’s tough to find a better one than this.

20 things I learned in 20 years

• Don’t wait for your life to work out, get out and do something about it, life’s too short to be waiting for things that aren’t even guaranteed

• Other girl’s beauty is not the absence of yours

• Insulting people or trying to belittle them doesn’t make you look better. It does the polar opposite in fact

• Wake up earlier, try making it a habit, I promise it’s worth it.

• Get a job if you can, if not just for the money, it’ll really look good on your resume, you’ll get more disciplined and it personally helped me get my life back on track and make me more organized. + $$$

• Take care of yourself once in a while, life can get overwhelming and even when you feel like you don’t deserve it, that’s exactly when you deserve it. Take a foot bath. Listen to relaxing music. Exfoliate and feel how smooth your skin gets. Moisture. Change your bedsheets. Do a face mask. Get your nails done (by yourself at home if you don’t want to spend money)

• Stop focusing on the negatives, don’t watch/read the news too much. I try to stay away because I get so invested emotionally and end up feeling depressed because I can’t do anything about the issues, so I just tend to stay away from it.

• Tell people you appreciate them.

• Life’s too short to only wear lingerie and sexy underwear when you have sex, wear them for yourself sometimes

• Limit the time you spend on your phone.

• If you keep having to question whether someone cares or not chances are they don’t.

• It’s okay if you don’t manage to accomplish the goals you had set for yourself within a time frame, give it another try. You have time

• Dont EVER make yourself small over a boy, don’t go 60%, if he’s not willing to put in the effort you do, bounce. You deserve better

• No one is worth your happiness, not your mom, not your dad, not your significant other, YOU are the main character in your life, make yourself a priority

• Speak your mind even if you are scared what others might think

• You can do literally anything you set your mind to, if you decide to do something you’re already halfway there.

• You deserve food no matter how much you have been eating lately

• It’s okay to want to get married early and start the next chapter of your life early, it’s okay if you don’t, it’s okay if you don’t want kids, it’s okay if you want 10, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

• If they would consciously do it once they’ll do it again, don’t waste your time, they won’t change

• You can’t make someone stay in love.

beauty standards are all bad but one that sticks out to me is the idea that women should be free of body hair, because literally no-one has naturally no body hair like what are we trying to emulate here?

What if my new place is haunted???

I’ve never been faced with this possibility before. I hope it is. I’m lonely.

when marilyn monroe said “i’ve never fooled anyone. i’ve let people fool themselves. they didn’t bother to find out who and what i was. instead they would invent a character for me. i wouldn’t argue with them. they were obviously loving somebody i wasn’t.”
