1/2
1 year celebrating sobriety from 🌱. Never imagined a path leading me out of that darkness, but was one step forward to brighter. My anxiety is lowered (nearly gone), depression eased, my mind is fully goal oriented, set on future plans, let go of toxic relationships.
My new favorite game to play is “Am I actually depressed or is my nervous system appropriately dysregulating to heinous human-made sh*t that makes living feel untenable?”
I think it's pretty awesome the next generation has decided that spending a majority of your life working isn't acceptable anymore.
It's not. Nobody wants to do that.
The fact someone tricked the previous generations into believing that's the way things are doesn't mean the next have to fall for it.
We do NOT all have ADHD.
If we did, ALL of us would hyper-focus for 8 hours and forget to eat or pee + then binge eat or just eat 3 olives + then stay up until 3am, bec we want our own time + then sleep too late, + then dread the shower, AND it would be called “just human.”
taking care of my mental health is a choice i make daily bc i don’t have the time to be fucking up. i don’t want to be in comprising situations. i don’t want to be burnt out. i don’t want to be impulsive or emotionally dysregulated. i take care of myself to prevent the fuck shit
Comparison will steal your joy.
Don’t rush marriage. Choosing a life partner is one of the most impactful decisions of your life. Take your time.
Your 20s are your first decade of adulthood. Show yourself grace.
Your mind is your greatest tool. Develop an abundance mindset.
dumped an entire bottle of poppers into my diffuser thinking It was one of my essential oils and passed out for three minutes as soon as it blew into my face
What "they" often don't get is, just being removed from the setting or source of the trauma doesn't just "fix" it.
You can escape a burning building, but you're still burned-- & burns need exactly the care & time they need to heal. "You're no longer on fire" is only so helpful.
how will you know if it’s for you if you do not put yourself out there & explore? how will you find the opportunities & what’s for you if you don’t find out what’s not? how will you find your people if you don’t show up as yourself? you have to show up. don’t hold yourself back.
i will put an axe into your face, and i will nail your skull onto the mast of my viking longship before i give any actor another bunch of notes about how to play david tennant, you fucking PATRONISING MOLLUSC!
Heartbreak. As bad as it feels in the moment, I honestly think something wonderful happens to a lot of people after a heartbreak. There’s a period of rediscovering who you are… And redefining yourself. It can be so utterly transformative and life-changing, in a good way.
you recover from burnout by resting. literally physically laying down. releasing as much responsibility as possible and just being. that’s the only answer. there isn’t a shortcut or hack. enough hacks.
