me. me when a poem says something ive felt before

do u ever realise that you’re gonna be an adult for the rest of your life

Huge shout to my friend from an undergraduate philosophy program who started working out every single day, not for health benefits or to become conventionally attractive or whatever, but because – and this is a direct quote – he was concerned that otherwise he might “become lost in the world of signs and forget the things they signify”. I have thought about this every single time that I’ve worked out since.

task manager kill this man

there's something stupid going inside my head

I think one of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone.

ok but can HE make ME worse

Born to be a girl who’s curious about everything forced to be a girl who’s scared of trying anything new

“why don’t you do it if you like it” because I’m scared “but why don’t you still try it out if you enjoy it” because I’m scared “but what if it gives you joy” I am scared

sometimes it’s better refrain from deep introspection and allow yourself to just be.

and by that I mean: I don’t have to sit with myself and overthink and analyze and rationalize every ounce of my being. I am not a case study I am a person. faults and all. like any other person. sometimes I have to look at my mistakes and avoid self flagellation. sigh and learn what I can and move on. remember that I am living, and this is part of the process. free myself of that inner critic. allow myself to be, and try again.

feng shui is real.

delete photos. delete apps. rearrange some furniture. give some clothes away. delete numbers. make your phone display neater. organize your seasonings. organize your clothes. organize your life so you can think clearer.

you ever get surprised by your own recurring issues. like come on man. I thought we were past this.

when susan sontag wrote “I must change my life so that I can live it, not wait for it”

I really like the word “smitten”. because at first glance you just think of sappy lovey-dovey stuff but also you have to remember this is a word that’s born of the word “smite.” a devastating word. a word that, summarized, means stricken. smitten means stricken as well — struck with devastating affection.
