Ig: Femalepentimento

as the colder months approach: i wish you all a healthy, calm end of the year. i wish you tasty cups of tea, comfortable clothes, warm beds, nutritious meals in safe homes, good music, new friends and unwavering health. you deserve good things now.

i hate when people call me on the phone like this is for my mom only....

STOP being okay with everything. You deserve to be treated right.

you don’t need to have your life sorted out by the end of the season, year, school, college, your teens, twenties, or any other time limit.

it is a fact that you will always face problems in your life. imposing a deadline can help motivate, but often it’s just one more problem.

take a look at those problems, and your perspective. you’re doing good just by being, and you’re going to do good taking on problems too

in the meantime: study, journal, read more books, sit in silence, listen to music, take walks, take the stairs, do more things alone, do more things with friends, take notice of the small wonders of the world, create a sacred space in your mind

so now that we have like eight years left to live before climate change becomes irreversible, does anyone wanna get married and run away to a cottage in the middle of nowhere and become entirely self sufficient? that’s starting to sound like a good plan

i am completely fine in an “i have been mentally unwell for years” kinda way
