I saved this Japanese maple leaf at the start of October and pressed and dried it to use in my November journal, and I am high-key obsessed with how vibrant it turned out

are you a morning/night person? 🌤🌙 i’m growing to love and savor my slow early mornings before work 🫶🏼 the quiet environment goes so well with reading and reflecting ☺️✨ putting on a cozy and familiar film really sets the mood too 🪵 i cannot wait to rewatch hilda 🥹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWkE4iPsY8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

trying this again

writing words #1

recently dove back into my tumblr and studyblr and realised that i still love it so much? there's something so special about the preservation of my thoughts and the things i was doing at a certain period of my life, a period i don't have a grasp of anymore. everything was so certain then, so real, and now memories are only fleeting and nothing is what it seemed. think i’m really hung up on this now bc i realised i haven’t really documented my early twenties - i deleted instagram, don’t really take pictures and, honestly, barely want to leave the house.

how can a person know everything at 18 but nothing a 22 - taylor and phoebe conceptualising the universal experience of teenage hope and adult longing

but now, at my (really fcking ripe) age of 23 i want to hold on tight to novelty, to emotion, to memory. I want to be enamoured by my 23 year old self and applaud her for all she did - as I now look back on my 19, 14 and 8 year old self with encouragement, empathy and wonder.

anyway this a long winded way of me saying that i’m gonna blog into the void that is inevitably my digital footprint! not going to obsess over grammar (although i really should) and going to relish in the cringe.

see you when i see you,

- maya

a gentle reminder that you did well this year. you met new people, learned new things and felt new feelings. you did so many things that made you scared. you picked yourself up off the floor after feeling completely defeated or heartbroken. there were some really tough nights but you survived them all. you made people happy just by existing. you accepted many goodbyes but the serendipitous meetings made up for them. it was your own hard work that paid off but you always downplay it or compare yourself to others. that’s not fair on yourself. you’ve come so far from the first day of this year. you have more wisdom and strength now. yes, other people seem more “successful” but does that even matter? please don’t think so lowly of yourself to only think about your failures. 2018 was your year of growth. I hope you take a moment to be kind to yourself, and believe that 2019 will be even better.

proofreading my own writing like wow.  u sure do love those commas, buddy.  what if u tried to cool it with all those commas, pal.  all those run-ons, friend.  why don’t you tone it down, my guy

[lovelysuggestions]

Listen, i know you’re feeling like you can’t handle this. I know how true that seems right now. But in a year’s time, you’ll be standing tall, flushed with pride looking back at how far you’ve come. Getting through this might be messy, and tough as hell, but just keep holding on tight.

“there’s a lot to unpack here” is the academic equivalent of “yikes”

Literally just romanticize your own life. What’s stopping you. Who will care. Commit to enjoying things.
