I WISH IT HAD ALL BEEN DIFFERENT!!!!!

oooohhhh ok. the more you deny yourself the more you lose yourself

It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over, Anne de Marcken

i literally can’t stop thinking about this video and i lose it every time

probably the best advice I've ever got was from my grandpa when I moved from my town and started a university, he told me to leave the house everytime when I start to feel down, just to go to the park, a supermarket, a bookstore, to even drive in a bus or tram, just be around other people because staying at home all the time kills you; and you know he was right

you are allowed to have a moment to think before you speak

terrifying sincerity will demand from you the kind of composure and character you are seeking

practice asking yourself questions and answer them without seeking references or resources or answers that others gave

the difference between ritual and routine is faith, and the kind of faith you need to give to your habits—what they each mean to you— is something to be curious, reflective, intentional about. you are afraid that habits will sap your life of meaning, so give them meaning of their own
