we've all gone through friendless periods in our lives. don't fall into the trap of thinking there's something intrinsically wrong with you - that is a) untrue and b) a belief that will make your isolation grow and cause feelings of worthlessness that will prevent you from accepting people into your life because you feel like you're not deserving of their friendship

for anyone writing a personal statement here’s some advice I collated from countless sheets I have been given over the last three years. This is all sound advice, as I have written three personal statements and all of which have gotten me unconditional’s :) Good luck guys! 

it worries me so much that there’s been this (mostly unintentional) culture built up around coming out, to where young lgbt kids are putting themselves in danger at school and at home because they don’t want to “live a lie.” i just want to say, i came out when i was 15 and it created a lot of difficulties in my life that i could have avoided by waiting until i was older. it isolated me socially, it exposed me to homophobia from my parents, my family, my teachers, and my classmates at the most important developmental stages of my own confidence and sense of self… closeted people are not living a lie. closeted people are surviving. don’t let anyone pressure you to come out before you’re ready. don’t put yourself at risk when you don’t have to.

can’t wait for my uni to do absolutely nothing except remind us of how uncertain and difficult these times are

they’ve done everything in their power to keep the schools open except vaccinate the kids and teachers?👌👌👌

my uni sending out emails like we’re doing everything we can for you in these difficult times and then proceeding to do absolutely nothing

shoutout to that underlying sense of unease that’s made a home in my bones

goood morning

at the start of the year my design tutors were encouraging everyone to make collages for our work of what influences our lives and everyone made collages on despair and anxiety and disasters happening in the world and yeah they’ve not asked for many more collages since

I'm cryign

be more mad at your government for not providing adequate covid medical & financial assistance more than you’re mad at individuals for ‘being stupid’. the pandemic is at this level due to governments’ willingness to sacrifice its citizens to keep The Economy running and no amount of personal responsibility was ever going to replace an actual national pandemic response.

I’ve had this same dilemma too many times
