Iβm working on eating healthier and so have stopped drinking soda (used to drink it multiple times a day - bad I know) and I am having coke withdrawal
Sugar withdrawal is not the biz and I didnβt even know it was a thing ππ»
I am so grateful for everything I have. I am so grateful for the patience I have learned. I am so grateful for the sun that comes out. I am so grateful for the flowers that bloom. I am so grateful for the smell of rain. I am so grateful to help others. I am so grateful.
parents want us to trust them and not keep any secrets, but they will continue to invalidate us whenever we vent, mock our mental health, dismiss our problems, and literally share everything we tell them with our relatives. then they complain if we donβt tell them something, +
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there β on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.β
one of the most priceless feelings in the world is knowing that there's someone who is truly proud of me even for the smallest of my achievements. it validates my efforts and reminds me that it is okay to fail at times because I got these people anyway.
