The pressure that comes with the made up timelines and deadlines. People want you to govern your life according to what everyone else has done or is doing. You won’t find peace until you stop caring about the backlash that comes with doing things in your own time, on your terms.
start checking yourself. start correcting yourself when you’re being unnecessarily negative. start minding your business when you realize you’re policing someone’s choices that don’t have anything to do with you. hold yourself accountable for goals you keep procrastinating on
Someone leaving you alone because they can’t give you what you are looking for is also consideration , we need to see it that way even if things didn’t work in our favor
Hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. You gotta do this shit sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. Life doesn’t care, it waits for nobody, you just have to keep going
I have this thing where I feel honoured to be loved by friends. Because we’re not family and we like each other this much ? Unprovoked ? I love friendship.
Having collections, hobbies, things that bring you joy that you aren’t trying to monetize are so important. Life is hard, being an adult is awful. Having a fun little mindless hobby can keep you going
