IDK who needs to hear this but if there’s something in your life that makes you feel better, but you never stick to it,

it’s still actually perfectly fine to do it

and you shouldn’t stop yourself from starting just because it won’t be a permanent change.

Like if starting a new daily planner gives you an amazing afternoon of planning and four days where you feel in charge of your life,

why not do it?

It doesn’t matter that it won’t be a permanent change - 4 good days is still worth it.

If you ever catch yourself thinking, “I wish I could pray/stretch/prep/plan/do the thing, but I always get started on that and it never lasts more than a couple of days,”

what this really means is, “hey, I can feel better for a couple of days.”

if this post is making you think of things in your own life that you wish you could stick to because of how good they make you feel,

just be aware:

you’re not thinking of a list of ways you’ve failed to commit

you’re thinking of a list of things that make you happy, and you should give yourself permission to start doing them as often as you want to

beep beep sometimes when you have been in survival mode for a long time the parts of you dedicated to Wanting Things atrophy and you forget how to envision a future that feels rewarding because you are busy with the business of staying alive, and it can seem like your life must be pointless because you can’t imagine any long term goals. sometimes even when you leave survival mode you can’t remember how to Want Things. that doesn’t mean you need to give up on having a good and fulfilling life, it just means that Wanting Things is a muscle you need to gradually strengthen. the part of you that has dreams and aspirations is still there, it just fell asleep, but if you wiggle it enough it can and will regain feeling. it’s okay to start small

I did really bad on my histopathology exam. At least it’s snowing and I got to study at my favorite study spot. || 11.12.2022 Lux

i’ve turned into a purple gel pen girl of late

It’s been a while!! I got COVID at the beginning of October, which set me back a bit, and then throughout this month I’ve been drowning in assignments.

But I finally just hit the point where I’m about to submit my last one and then I’ll be finished with big stuff for the semester until finals!

Onward!

romanticize a quiet life, there’s no place like my room

Sometimes even now I think I see him in the street or standing in a window or bent over a book in a coffee shop. And in that instant, before I understand that it's someone else, my lungs tighten and I lose my breath.

Moved to a new city for my master's degree 📚🍂 being so far from home feels weird

university is way more bearable with her <3
