Imagine investing in yourself, not giving up, staying committed and following your dreams....and it works out for the rest of your life.

I know this will bother unhealed adults, but the real world, more often than not, does give you second chances and do overs. Very rarely are things set in stone. And people, especially young people, deserve to know that. Because lording the idea that they can never mess up, even once, does a lot more damage than good.

lower barriers for yourself by no longer being so careful that you’re only willing to accept success. stumble your way through, take wrong turns, try something just for the sake of it, forget about the end result for just a minute. you can plan every second of your life, but the spontaneous and unintentional moments often help you find perspectives and adventures you’ve been missing. maybe you’ll stop being bored with reality when you stop tightening your grip around everything that happens and let yourself be surprised.

please redefine what productivity means within your own abilities and stop letting the internet shame you into feelings of embarrassment or worthlessness based on someone else's life and someone else's abilities!

I saw someone trying to take down my anti-racism sign from my kitchen window this morning (don’t think they realised it was stuck on the inside) so decided now is a good time to refresh the design and add some pro-trans, pro-lgbtqia and pro-immigration messages. Sadly the white pen tried to give up on me throughout but I think I just about managed it ✍️🖤

This is your reminder that not everything needs to contribute to your future for it to be “purposeful”. Watch that movie, read that book, go to that place that brings you a sense of comfort or joy. All of the ‘little’ things provide you value too. Life is not about an end goal or big milestones, life is about what you do every single day. Life is about balance and finding and enjoying the small pleasures too.

please stop putting pressure on yourself to do work! please stop telling yourself that if you’re not working or if you have this little in-between pocket of time like moving from one location to another you should be spending that time doing something mildly productive or stimulating like listening to a self-help podcast. you are allowed to melt on your phone! you are allowed to just lie down and stare at the wall! you are allowed to exist in a way that is easy for you even when you could be doing 50,000 other things. there is a difference between being motivated and energised to complete work and dragging yourself from task to task with limited energy and capacity simply because you feel like you need to and feel bad for wanting to stand still for a moment.
