there’s a lot of unspoken pressure to keep liking the things you used to like and to keep dressing the way you’ve always dressed and to never question what you believe in and basically “be yourself” has slowly morphed into “be what everyone knows you as” but trust me when i say if you just give it up and simply make decisions and take actions based purely on what would make you happy, you’ll gain a very comforting sense of self peace

You have survived. You are here. Confused maybe, screwed up, perhaps. But you are here and you’re trying and that’s what matters most.

“Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.”

forgive yourself. whether you fail a test, eat too many cookies, say the wrong thing, fail a class, or spend a whole day in bed — learn to forgive yourself. the next day will be better. the next day will be a day closer to your next success. you can do it.

I hate the stereotype of you can’t be social and smart like um no I’m gonna go to parties and stay up all night and go to concerts and crowd surf and I’m still gonna work hard and get an A+ in all my classes.

emotional troubleshooting

checklist (start here):

are you: tired?

hungry?

dehydrated?

have you taken your meds?

have you had enough socialisation?

or enough alone time?

do you feel grimy/dirty/greasy/uncomfortable?

ideas for sensory comforting:

sitting in warm sunlight

walking bare foot on grass

sucking on a hard candy

chewing gum

listen to white noise

take a shower in the dark

lay under a heavy blanket(s)

important stuff: What you’re feeling is valid. If you can name it then you can get closer to controlling it. Is it a healthy feeling? Where’s it coming from/what triggered it? What can you do about the source to help the feeling pass or eliminate the issue?

Be you, whoever that is. Your purest truth. Be a blinding anomaly.

concept: it’s exam season and you’re studying morning and afternoon, taking breaks in between, eating proper meals and enjoying the fresh air when you get a chance to. you’re still hanging out with your friends and you’re still doing things outside of revision. you have bad days in which you don’t revise and you know it’s okay because you know you’re not a machine and you need to take care of your health. and this is you doing your best and I am so proud of you.

It’s not stupid. I promise. It’s not stupid to turn into your 5 year old self and get happy beyond measure for the little things. It’s not stupid to be proud of yourself for completing a load of laundry and washing the dishes. You aren’t lame for patting yourself on the back when you chose a salad over a burger. You’re taking care of yourself and each victory - no matter how small - is worth celebrating.

I bought so many new books this week and I can‘t wait to read them after finishing my last exam in two weeks! (I‘m still reading the picture of dorian gray :‘)) I‘m so thankful for the sunshine in my apartment, I‘ll definitely go for a walk this afternoon to enjoy some more of the sun :)

“1. Your skin may never be perfect, and that’s okay. 2. Life is too short not to have the underwear, the coffee, and the haircut you want. 3. Everyone (including your family, your coworkers, and your best friend) will talk about you behind your back, and you’ll talk about them too. It doesn’t mean you don’t love each other. 4. It’s okay to spend money on things that make you happy. 5. Sometimes without fault or reason, relationships deteriorate. It will happen when you’re six, it will happen when you’re sixty. That’s life.”

a little bit of extra motivation for you!!

[yourbigsisnissi]

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.

Warm tones for this week, inspired by the color palette in a series of hand photographs I found in a magazine spread. Sooo many projects and papers coming up this week as my spring semester is quickly coming to a close. Thank God for the weekend!
