Sometimes you have to just treat yourself like an overtired toddler.

“Okay, as soon as you finish this assignment you can take a little nap.”

“You just cleaned your room, good job!”

“Hmm..maybe eating a snack will stop you from wanting to cry.”

Sometimes? I think you mean all of the time.

Being an adult is just parenting yourself.

It’s true and highly effective self care. Speak to and treat yourself with the same love and care you would want your child self to be given.

That means: no insults or name calling. No judgement. Patience. Gentle firmness. Health, safety and happiness first. Encouragement. Rewards and validation for a job well done. Self soothing. And above all else, love. 

This is so important

this heat is making it so hard for me to study (i wish i live in a colder place) 😥

i still dont like who i am but when i look back on who i used to be im my favourite self ive been so far

Whenever I feel uneasy, like something is wrong but you can't place it, that feeling when you haven't eaten anything but junk food. That sick feeling mixed with somehow feeling uneasy and sad and a little scared but in mild quantities that add up together and make me uncomfortable and leave me wanting to claw out of my skin and escape. There's only one thing that's ever fixed that for me. And it's listening to music from my home. In my mother tongue. The songs that annoy me when my mum sings them. The songs I don't usually sing. Those songs feel like home when I'm homesick. Every instance I've been away from home or my parents those songs kept me safe somehow. A lot of things are going wrong right now. But I'm listening to all the beautiful music that I'm proud to say came from my home and I'm sitting in bed on the verge of tears but somehow better. This is good.

this is beautifully written and i’m so glad you found something that brings you a little closer to comfort

for the longest time i couldn’t place why i’ve been listening to more hindi/bengali music since moving away from my parents, but this is it thank you

Day 2 (I couldn't post the pictures last night since the power ran out in my locality)

Things I did yesterday :

1. Solved a bunch of Reading Comprehension questions

2. Memorized legal maxims

3. Researched more on Israel-Palestine

A visit to my dentist acted as an aberration which rendered me unproductive and now I have to get a root canal due this Friday sigh.
