Love-nol - To Myself On Hard Days

Favorite of the #pascalisms ❤

I hope this time the darkness has come to teach me how to look inside myself and find the stars building home in there.

I’ve been seeing so many posts about burnout relating to working/studying hard......but burnout from fighting mental illnesses, disabilities, and chronic conditions needs to be talked about more. When you struggle with these things, you fight so many invisible battles a day that you don’t even realize you’re burnt out. You don’t have to be studying or working or “oN tHe gRiNd” to be burnt out. Being strong every day is the most grueling and exhausting kind of work. Please know that you are valid, even if you can’t get up and work/study. You are having to learn a curriculum that school doesn’t teach, and I’m so proud of you <33

one day we’re going to be in our own apartment together, nestled together on our sofa, you fast asleep on my lap. and then i know i’ll be home

please honey, let me run my hands through your hair and fall asleep in your arms <3

this. that is all.
