We need to get a little uncomfortable for a minute. But it's ok. You have to be uncomfortable in order to grow.
You're going to fail. You're going to disappoint people and yourself. You're going to have moments where you're so overwhelmed that you're curled in a ball crying and frustrated. You're going to miss important milestones. You're going to drop the ball so many times things seem impossible. You're going to fail. You're going to be mean. You're going to be a bad person at points. It's life. It happens. You just need to understand that it happens. And on those days where you want to dissappear and never be seen again because everything is too much, your brain is going to amplify all these faults and failures and make them seem worse.
Babe. We all go through this. We ALL fail. We ALL make awful choices and fuck people and ourselves over. We ALL will have moments where we are the villains. Where we completely fail a lot of people in our lives due to bad decisions. It will happen. Probably multiple times. What matters is that you recognize these things and make appropriate changes in your life to help make sure that next time isn't as bad. Maybe start learning time management so you're not stressed constantly and blowing up on everyone. Maybe find a healthy outlet like painting or the gym or cooking. Find small, simple joys to make life better. It's going to suck. You're going to be the bad guy. But that's not your entire life.
It's uncomfortable and hard to sit with. Sometimes things are your fault. Sometimes you make bad choices and they fuck your life up and fuck others over at the same time. It happens. You can't change the past, but you have the power to change your future. You can change your future. Talk to people. Find yourself outlets. Learn skills. Things get better, but they only do so if you put the effort for them to do so. I love you. You're trying. And that's all you can do. And one day you'll slip backwards and feel so defeated but when that happens, you'll have many tools to help you get even further. I promise babe everything will be ok.

“And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for.” ― Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society

Don’t do things because other people tell you to. You have to decipher if things are for you and are authentically things that align with you. Don’t curate the image of who you want to be based on others. Don’t listen to music to genuinely don’t like just because of how people will perceive you. Don’t wear clothes that don’t suit you and you don’t feel comfortable in because you have been told to. Yes these things matter to an extent because how you present yourself matters. What I’m saying is don’t create a caricature of yourself because nothing about it is real to you. Nothing is true to who you truly are. Adapt things to who you are. Find music that you like. Find clothes that you love. Discover books you truly enjoy. Find videos that truly spark your interest. Don’t be superficial. Create a life that is true to you, one that deep down you don’t hate or feel dissatisfied with on the inside because you’re living a lie. Even if it’s different people will respect your genuity.
Live well.

MISSING AN EX DOESN'T NECESSARILY INDICATE TRUE LOVE; RATHER, IT SUGGESTS THAT THE RELATIONSHIP HELD SIGNIFICANCE FOR YOU, AND YOU ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF HEALING.
THE PAIN YOU FEEL SIGNIFIES YOUR CAPACITY FOR DEEP LOVE, AND YOU ARE RESERVING THAT LOVE FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL.

Hey lovelies this is a reminder to not listen to productivity influencers all the time. Please don't make every part of your day productive. You don't need to listen to self help podcasts while getting ready. You don't need to make all of your reading focused on mental health. You don't need to make a schedule to ensure that maximum productivity is reached. You aren't alive to rush to the grave babe.
Do listen to podcasts and music that make you happy and get you excited. Do read things you enjoy reading. Do make a schedule with rest time in it. Do take little breaks. Go feel the sun on your skin. I promise that taking time to actually exist and be alive won't somehow make you less productive. And in fact, you'll probably be more productive.
If you push yourself and focus on productivity and betterment constantly, you're going to burnout real quick. So take some breaks and go outside and stretch your arms and turn your head up and spin in the rain. Jump in the puddles and get those new shoes wet. End your study session early because you're frustrated and tired and make a cup of tea and get some cookies and watch a show. Read that fantasy book with moral lesson. Go take that night out with friends.
Please, please, please, PLEASE, P L E A S E don't let productivity be all you do. Live little. Relax. Really relax. Take personal days. Yes, get those grades and study and clean your house and stuff, but don't let it suffocate you. Ultimately this is your life love. Go live it. And don't feel guilty for living.

......And after a point of time, you just stop!!! You stop expecting peace, you stop trying to be happy, you stop asking for love, you stop looking for friends, you stop expecting.........a future?
