In the garden of your heart, tend to confidence and resilience; let healing be the sunlight that transforms your storms into growth.

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”

— Aldous Huxley, “A Case of Voluntary Ignorance”, Collected Essays

Stop just asking "is it normal?" and start asking "is it harming anyone?" Lots of harmful things are normalized in this society and lots of things considered weird or rare are completely harmless. Whether something is considered normal or common shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether it's okay

“You are the aftermath of something devastating Mass grave after a plague Cold ashes after an eruption Empty bullet casing after a gunfire Red marks around the neck after a choke You may not be the person who inspired the discord You may not be the person who pulled the trigger But they can be sure you’d be there as something that they need to survive from: The aftermath of evil that they have inflicted”

— “The Aftermath” from Infernal Feelings by anastasiasyah (via anastasiasyah)

“I found I was more confident when I stopped trying to be someone else’s definition of beautiful and started being my own.”

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
