Things that take time & many tries to get right:

learning to be a good friend/partner

healing from depression, failures or heartbreak

becoming amazing at an art or skill

overcoming anxiety, insecurities and low body image

overcoming the need to isolate yourself

changing self-hating thoughts to kinder ones

making a real connection with someone

overcoming self-defeating and self-sabotaging thoughts

learning how to study effectively

finding a sense of stability and calmness at your core

quitting habits or addictions

leaving people and behaviours that turn you into the worst version of yourself

getting used to healthier coping mechanisms & mindsets that feel fake

treating yourself like you truly care about yourself

becoming the person you always wanted to be

i learned that in the 1880s, the Harvard Observatory director was frustrated with his staff, and would say “My Scottish maid could do better!” So, he hired his Scottish maid. Williamina Fleming ran a team for decades, classified tens of thousands of stars, & discovered white dwarfs and the Horsehead Nebula (x)

“She became one of the founding members of the Harvard Computers, an all-women cadre of human computers hired by Pickering to compute mathematical classifications and edit the observatory’s publications.

The group included Harvard computer and astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Annie Jump Cannon, Williamina Fleming, and Antonia Maury.”

so 2020 really is the year my lifelong neurotic mantra changes from ´i hate myself´ ´i wanna kms´ ´i wanna go home´ to ´i am so fucking happy´ and it´s been the most chaotic year i´ve experienced in 23 years

spending a lot of time in the kitchen, baking bread with herbs, reading old kitchen book and trying new recipe, growing my own vegetables and fruits, having diners with neighbours and friends, and relaxing while taking the bath after the long day

The Tatler, England, June 17, 1931

i really hope i finally started the recovering people-pleaser phase. i’m so happy i found a term for it (found it myself on the internet after 2 therapists, but still i found one)  that explained my behavior without it becoming an ‘illness’. i thought i was a fawner, but i honestly can’t give out compliments or comment on something positively when i don’t mean it. like i immediately recognize when people have certain qualities, i’m hypersensitive to that as i’ve always been studying why some people were liked and others weren’t and found that lots of the ‘unlikeable’ people had soo many good qualities whereas ‘likeable’ people weren’t perfect either

I think i have made an entire fool of myself yesterday talking to that exam comittee group on zoom but oh well i guess it was worth a try
