WHEN ON PERIOD:
- do not crash out
- your feelings are NOT valid
- do not send that text
- don’t kill yourself. lock in
- do not act on negative emotions until at least 2 days have elapsed
I wish everything was quieter and softer and less often.
one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it
i am going to freak out! and not in a way anyone finds endearing or relatable
