Just because things didn’t turn out as expected doesn’t mean that you won’t get the dream life you deserve. Sometimes life may have better things in store than what you envisioned. Sometimes the universe finds something better for you that you haven’t even considered. Think about that the next time things don’t go according to plan.
Let go of the concept that there’s only one way to love and accept the idea that you’re going to love in different ways. People are individuals and each one has their own love language, so take the time to ask them what that language is! Sometimes it can be outside the realm of physical affection, and could be something as simple as saying good morning or goodnight to them. It could be buying them a little something because “it reminded me of you.”, or even just co-existing in the same room together and doing your own thing. Love can’t be boiled down to one way of feeling and can come in all shapes and sizes. Take the time to understand one another, both romantically and platonically.
You did what you could today, be proud of that
I think there’s something so wonderful about recommend a show/book/game to someone and gradually watching them fall in love with it the way that you did. I just LOVE hearing people’s theories about the plot, finding out which characters they adore and despise. When you get little updates from them when a big event happens in the storyline?? Good shit
Say it with me:
You are worth so much more than a grade on a piece of paper. Your grades and academic ability does not define your value.
Do you know what I love about Ghibli movies? The fact that they romanticise every day life. They make daily chores so motivating, and honestly?? I LIVE for that aesthetic. The full breakfasts with crispy bacon and eggs. The sweeping of patios to shake away the dust bunnies and welcome the suns warm rays. Hot baths where your body just sinks into the water out of sheer pleasure. It’s all so beautiful and stunning and breathtaking.
I’m really glad those movies exist, they’re a quiet motivation that keeps me going.
I just watched Whispers of the Heart a few days ago with a friend, and there was a little speech that really resounded with me and I think it should be talked about more. It was the scene where the protagonist was beginning to doubt her abilities, and a kind old gentleman gave her a stone and said:
“Emeralds are worth a lot of money, but they need to be cut and polished first. When you first become an artist, you’re like that rock. You’re in a raw, natural state, with hidden gems inside. You need to dig down deep and find the emeralds tucked away inside you. And that’s just the beginning. Once you’ve found your gems, you have to polish them. It takes a lot of hard work. Oh, and here’s the tricky part. Look at the crack in the geode. You see that big green crystal there? You could spend years polishing that, and it wouldn’t be worth much at all. The smaller crystals are much more valuable. And there may be some even deeper inside that you can’t see.”
This is such a great metaphor for hobbies and talents alike. We all have valuable crystals inside of us, it may take some time to find them, but they’re most certainly there. You can’t expect perfection from the first look at a crystal. It may need to be pried open, polished and taken care of. Eventually though, you may find that there’s a whole series of crystals inside of you! So keep going, keep pushing!
I think sometimes people who have mental illness (myself included) forget that the reason we may be so tired all the time, is because we’re expending our energy with internally fighting inside ourselves. We’re using up our energy to tackle anxiety, or depression, or whatever the case may be. Fighting against that, along with doing daily chores? Studying? Keeping up with life in general? It can be EXHAUSTING.
So don’t ever feel bad if you need to take a breather for a small while. Don’t feel guilty for needing to nap and replenish those energy juices. Your body is amazing in the way that it can tell us what we need. You gotta take care of yourself, so don’t for a second believe that rest and recooperation has a time restraint on it. Everyone grows at different paces, and that includes rest. So keep growing.
