Stop being a loser. Get up early. Make your bed. Go train. Eat clean. Do your laundry. Pay every bill on time. Save till it hurts, then save more. Pick a craft and get obsessed. Pick a person to become and start acting like them today. Care more than everyone around you. Push till you break, then get back up. Knowing when to quit isn't weakness, it's strategy. Stand up straight. Speak up. Go all in. Smile anyway. Life is short and then it's gone. Misery is a choice. You're not the first to suffer and you won't be the last. Someone with less than you made it. So will you. Nobody's special. Everybody is. Keep moving.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard:
“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”
My boyfriend suffered a brain injury four months ago.
He was in a coma for about a week, and when he finally woke up, he had to relearn how to speak coherently all over again.
One day, his speech therapist had a session with me there so I could help practice with him at home. He would say a word, and my boyfriend had to respond with either a synonym or a definition.
At one point, the therapist said:
“Happiness.”
My boyfriend looked over at me, pointed directly at me, and said my name.
I laughed and cried at the same time.
The therapist gently told him,
“No, that’s incorrect.”
He immediately pouted, frustrated and confused because in his mind he had answered perfectly.
It’s still one of my favorite memories of us, especially during the harder days.
Sa muzem zelim odnos gdje izlazimo zajedno i zabavljamo se.
A ne samo kuca, posao, kod mojih i njegovih.
Hocu da me izvodi u dance klubove, muzeje, balet, galerije, putovanja, biblioteke, hiking, avanture.
Ne zelim dosadan brak koji umire od nedostatka mastanja.
не ми се свиѓа шо „ќе му ебам матер“ behavior обично ми носи најголем успех. пошо е boost шо го добивам од егото.
ама па неуспех уште помалце ми се свиѓа. така шо, ко му јебе матер, ќе му ебам матер.
btw in your 20's and 30’s you’ll start rediscovering the niche interests and hobbies you had as a kid. it’s very important you revisit them. your younger self was actually on to something.
I owe an apology to all the women I thought were bitter while their husbands seemed so easygoing.
Now I know it is very easy to be easygoing when someone else is carrying the entire weight of your life.
нула желба веќе да градам кариера. најсериозно.
сакам само мирен живот, добар сон, добра храна, љубов дома, здраво семејство, здрава јас, скромен дом, скромен одмор ил два, свеж воздух, многу чекори, многу насмевки, многу книги, малку пријатели, малку среќа, нималку капитализам.
I don’t want to exploit anyone. I don’t want to dominate anyone. I don’t want to lie to anyone or manipulate anyone. I don’t want to devote my energy to proving I’m better than anyone. Which means I am worthless under this system.
I have noticed that the people who changed my life did not try to change my life. they were simply in the room being themselves with such completeness that the completeness altered me. through proximity alone. the way a fire alters the room simply by being lit inside it.
It feels so surreal that the entire world is going up in flames, dozens being killed and several countries mobilising their forces. But I’m just supposed to prepare for Monday and act like all of this exists only on the internet?
So much of adulthood is just grieving in secret..... grieving ex lovers, grieving dead friendships, grieving your parents sinking into old age, grieving the person you thought you'd grow into, grieving cities you never got to live in, grieving parts of you that couldn't survive.
After a certain age, you are no longer the product of your environment or how you were raised. It's a personal choice to live the way you do. At some point, blaming your past becomes a distraction from your future. Healing is your responsibility. Growth is your decision.
one of the main reasons i’m so gentle with myself is cause i believe i’ve already experienced enough hardship in my life. i’ve already been mishandled and undervalued by others and myself at times. so i deserve more patience, forgiveness, and consideration at this point.
the older i get, the more i realize it really is THAT deep. who you date, who you call a friend, what you watch, what you eat, where you work, what you speak over yourself. baby, all of it matters. energy is real. what you allow in your space, in your mind, and in your body
