Radiate Positive Vibes

whenever i spend my day outside when the weather is good i’m like wow i’ve finally unlocked the secret to inner peace

one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.

The way you change your immediate reactions to things is that you catch yourself having an uncharitable/bigoted/overly judgmental thought and you catch it and replace it and then you do that a hundred times a day for your whole life and eventually one day like five years later you realize that you think differently now and you’ll always be working on something but that’s how life goes and that’s fine.

I won’t wish for the universe to be gentle with you or me or anyone else. That’s not in our control. But, I will wish for us to learn to be gentle with ourselves and each other. That’s where our power is.

go outside and sit in the sun, your problems won't disappear but you might gain a little hope

hey boss i can't come in today it's a sunny day and there's a lovely breeze coming in through my window, yeah it's rustling the branches of the tree outside that's finally bloomed so it's pretty serious

I love thinking of my time in the real world as starting from when I became legally an adult. It helps me be so much less hard on myself to be like well. I’m only 21. I’ve only been legally an adult for 3 years. I am a 3 year old adult. It’s okay if I make mistakes or don’t get things right immediately or bruise myself a little bit trying to hit a stride. Now is the time to trip and fall and get a little bruised. But then u get up and it heals and u know not to trip next time. You quite literally just started so why are u harsh on urself for mistakes that were essentially inevitable

if ur 22 then ur only 4 years old, bc that’s when ur life actually began. If ur 23 then ur only 5 years old. You are an INFANT in this world so humble yourself and stop being so harsh both on your own performance and on other people’s performances and just embrace that you’ll make mistakes and have fun w it and don’t stew too much bc it’s just time passing. u will be fine

This is NOT an excuse to infantilize yourself or behave like a child or not own up to your responsibilities. It’s just a way to ease ur anxiety about figuring things out. It’s a way not to get hung up on ur mistakes. It’s a way to recognize ur incredibly young and learning. But it is not a way to not own up. We own up always but we also approach it from a place of compassion & understanding that we only live this life once & we can’t expect ourselves to never struggle at all times

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
