ur early 20s are about being obsessed with kindness and mary oliver and seasonal fruits and recreating comfort foods you ate as a child and learning how to love and crying because you have no choice but to live the life before you and finding god on the bus back from the grocery store
whatever was left, that was ours for a while.

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN
are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,
YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE
you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!
Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!
do the dishes
make your bed
read a book in silence
get the groceries for one or two meals
have a beer
go for a walk
(get a phone call from nobody)
follow a cat through the neighborhood
do the laundry
change your sheets
sit on your couch and listen to a full album
take a shower
sit on your balcony at night
go to a diner alone and have a bite to eat
watch people from afar
take a train to the next town
call an old friend
clean your room or house
take a nap
have a cup of tea
paint or draw
air out the room
stretch or do yoga
(* murakami’s descriptions of his protagonists’ day to day lives always seem so mundane and calming to me that I thought I’d list a few activities that fit right in and might calm me, too.)

I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.
If you don’t think you can make it to tomorrow, then just focus on getting through today. If that’s too much, then focus on this next hour. If that’s too difficult, focus on just the next few minutes.
Take it one breath at a time.

Why WOULD I pay for tumblr premium when I get quality ads like this???
