Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.

one day you think: I want to die. and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book. and I want to die turns day by day into want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun, I want a cleaner kitchen, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else. I want to live.

try to not self sabotage with the what ifs and whatnots, even about things that potentially may never be. it just adds to your anxiety and triggers your safety and your self worth

and if you feel not able to realize what is good or not for you and may fear opting for the wrong choice: remember it's your choice. if you have a preference or some values you know you can stick to, you'll know what to choose when the time comes (guts or not guts involved). just try and stay grounded now, especially again if it's something may even never happen
