I can’t stress how important it is to know who you are as a person because people will literally try to project their insecurities and preconceived notions onto you unprovoked.
turns out, reading a lot, exercising, loving people without expecting anything back, protecting your alone time, focusing only on getting better, and sometimes staying out late with friends who make you laugh until it hurts is a pretty good way to live.
you can literally wake up one day and be like “actually, fuck everything ab my past and the self-sabotaging identity i had” and decide to live an entirely new life and be someone who always fucking wins. it doesn’t take a feeling or breakthrough moment or epiphany. only a decision.
Mickey is a reminder to be NICE this summer. She lived some of her last days getting HATE on by people online while playing a GAME. We’re all human. She was human. The houseguest this summer are human too
Life is better when you surrender to the phase you are in and make the most of it instead of trying to force some other reality to be true when it is simply not.
