your life is not an optimization problem

[dragonsblowingoutbirthdaycandles]

as in you'll never achieve the perfect daily routine, sleep schedule, coping mechanisms, mannerisms, fashion sense etc. even after years and years of healing and improvement and self-discovery. you will never be so good at life that you manage to utilize every waking moment. its great to be productive and all but sometimes you'll suck ass. sometimes you'll take eight hours to be done with a twenty minute job. you'll prioritize the wrong thing. you'll sleep for 12 hrs just to avoid being awake. you'll relapse. and you'll relapse again. you'll forget to turn in the assignment. you'll order too little food. life is far too large and complex for you to even experience it completely, much less try to make sense of and control it. you can't. please give up on that and be at peace with the hours you lose. they are not separate from your life.

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

Anyone who ever said the key to life is always having something to look forward to is so right . The days are so much brighter when there’s always something to look forward to

and maybe, just maybe, life isn’t about having everything fall into place. it’s about the things that don’t, because those are the moments that give life it’s depth, right? sure, life can be—no, it is tough, and some days it feels like nothing fits, like you’re constantly chasing something that’s just out of reach. but here’s the thing right, the purpose you’re looking for? it’s not out there somewhere. it’s in the spaces between, in the things that aren’t finished yet. the gaps, the things that feel like they’re still being written—those aren’t signs that something’s wrong,,they’re the parts that make your story uniquely yours. and perhaps it’s in those pauses, those in-between moments, where you find your strength to keep going, to keep growing. because in the end, the picture doesn’t need to be complete for it to be beautiful. it’s what’s still unfolding that makes it all worthwhile.
