Hey, my love. I just wanted to check in and let you know that it is completely okay to feel lonely; to feel disconnected from the people around you; to feel like nobody really cares about you. Sometimes life gets busy and people stop talking to you. They suddenly do not have or make time for you anymore. But I promise you that there will be other times as well; times when new people enter your life or old friends find their way back to you. Trust me when I say: The loneliness you are feeling is only temporary. There is a season for everything - and you, my darling, are so loved and so worthy in every one of them.

Yeah this is exactly what I need…

I have a job interview on Wednesday so I need all the luck I can get

[callmebliss]

Employment Jelly worked for me and now I work for someone so let him work for you too

[p-rxncxss]

being told that someone is thinking about you, or thought about you earlier, is always such a warm feeling

[capricornitgirl]

You literally dont need anyone. Go out and get a coffee and dessert and sit by yourself. Go out to a high end store and buy yourself something nice. Stop waiting until you have a group of “friends” to have fun. Take time to explore what you like and don’t. In the end you are your own best friend forever. Be kind to yourself and go live your best life 💗🏹.

If you're an adult...

You are allowed to read comic books. You are allowed to write fanfiction. You are allowed to play video games. You are allowed to collect stuffed animals, dolls, Funko Pops and whatever else. You are allowed to go to cons. You are allowed to cosplay. You are allowed to have a comfort show, even if it's not popular, or hasn't been "on the air" for decades. You are allowed to have anime crushes. You are allowed to have fun. You are allowed to pursue hobbies, even if you can't monetize them or turn them into a career or a "side hustle." You are allowed to take time out for yourself; that's not the same as totally neglecting all your responsibilities to their detriment. You are allowed to write your own life script, instead of following the one your parents and culture mapped out for you at birth. You are allowed to decide you don't want to have children, or don't want to get married. (Or that you'd like to do those things someday, but not today.) You are allowed to go at your own pace, on your own path. You're allowed to have a life that's not all bills and back pain, fatigue and drudgery. You are allowed to play, as well as work.

I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.

[scientiablr]

honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March

Just because your body isn't where you want it to be doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of it

[thepeacefulgarden]

And it is happening now. Right now. Not when you're rich. Not when you're thinner and/or fitter. Not when you finally find Mr./Ms./Mx. Right. Not when you're healthier. Not when you get a "Real Job." Not when you make the team. Not when you get into the school you want. Not when you land your dream job. Not when you start your own business. Not when you start making a profit. Not when you're famous. Not when you're popular. Not when you have a child. Not when you have a grandchild. Not when you retire. Not when you leave this Earthly life for whatever's next. Not when you start having sex, or having more sex. Not when you get married. Not when you meet current beauty standards. Not when you buy a house. Not when you get elected. Not when you've climbed Mt. Everest. Not when whoever hurt you comes to grovel. Not when you're cured of what ails you. Not when you make someone jealous or envious. Not when you get promoted. Not when you win the lottery. Not when you make team captain or first chair. Not when your parents finally tell you they're proud of you. Not when you have a legacy. (Whatever that even means in this day and age.) Not when you have a million likes and followers on TikTok. Not when people start kissing your ass. Not when you've "fixed" your life and everything you think is wrong with you. Not when "The One That Got Away" comes back. Not when people realize what a nice person you are. Not when your crush returns your feelings. Now. Right now. Right here.

2023:

Even the smallest joy matters, even if it doesn’t last. Life is supposed to be enjoyed and it is not morally reprehensible to do so.

Your health matters more than any material thing you sacrifice it for.

Life is not supposed to be made of sacrifices.

Your dreams are not too big “for someone like you”. You are not too small to dream big.

Everything is temporary. Use the time you have to love and be loved, to enjoy this life a little, to create the relationships you seek, the safe home you need.

Community is what kept us evolving. The human thing is to ask for help.

Perfectionism is the enemy if you want to get things done. Progression above perfection, always. You don’t have to be so anxious to prove your worth, you are already enough. You can do this.

Guilt and shame are common emotions to us all, but they should not dictate your whole life.

[akindplace]

Your exhaustion is not shameful. It is not a moral failure to be physically, mentally or emotionally tired. It is okay to be overwhelmed. You're not inferior to anyone just because it's hard for you to keep up with a fast-paced life.

IDK who needs to hear this but if there’s something in your life that makes you feel better, but you never stick to it,

it’s still actually perfectly fine to do it

and you shouldn’t stop yourself from starting just because it won’t be a permanent change.

Like if starting a new daily planner gives you an amazing afternoon of planning and four days where you feel in charge of your life,

why not do it?

It doesn’t matter that it won’t be a permanent change - 4 good days is still worth it.

If you ever catch yourself thinking, “I wish I could pray/stretch/prep/plan/do the thing, but I always get started on that and it never lasts more than a couple of days,”

what this really means is, “hey, I can feel better for a couple of days.”

if this post is making you think of things in your own life that you wish you could stick to because of how good they make you feel,

just be aware:

you’re not thinking of a list of ways you’ve failed to commit

you’re thinking of a list of things that make you happy, and you should give yourself permission to start doing them as often as you want to
