And of course we must always study inside bookstore-cafes ☕

dissertation work is taking up a lot of my time while I wait for lectures to begin for my uni’s summer semester. the hot weather makes me not want to work, so I’m fighting against my lizard brain urge to soak in the warmth and be lazy.
happy pride month to all! it’s time for us gays to be insufferably proud and celebrate our wonderful selves. to my gay followers: you are valid; you’re supported; you’re perfect as you are. I’m proud of you, and you’re not alone.
the Lego flowers in the last photo above were gifts from my girlfriend and I wanted to share them because they’re so beautiful. we’ve got matching Lego flowers and I love them so much because I always get sad when living flowers die! I love her so much
have a good weekend all!

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
