Any Moment Might Be Our Last. Everything Is More Beautiful Because We're Doomed. You Will Never Be Lovelier

I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.

— C.S. Lewis

things happen in life. bad things. divorce, sickness. it’s scary. and it’s survival to retreat. but if you retreat, you also miss the good things. do you understand? I know we don’t talk about this stuff too much, but— mom, I can’t leave you. what if— life is to be lived. not put into a neat container to try and control.

romanticize your life. i cannot stress this enough. use scented shower gel and shampoo, so you look forward to showers. go on walks and see how pretty the sky looks. notice the wildflowers on the roadside as you drive. light a candle when you get home to make your room smell good. notice & appreciate the little things in life. it won't cure your mental illness, but it'll make it easier to exist in this world.

I'd cut my soul into a million different pieces just to form a constellation to light your way home.

i bet the stars would be so proud to know their fragments created someone like you

Chaotic academia is procrastinating studying like there’s no tomorrow, and then turning around and studying like there’s no tomorrow

Do you know that line in The Perks of Being a Wallflower? The one that says “this one moment when you know you’re not just a sad story. You are alive.” that resonates so much with me, because it’s true, it’s so damn true!

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but life isn’t supposed to be one big mass of pain, it really isn’t. You are so allowed to seek for happiness, and to fight with your nails and teeth for it, to screw off people that aren’t good for you, to say no, to do whatever it is that helps you and that makes you happy. You can scream, you really can, you can rip pages, you can fuck your room up, if necessary. Feel it, because you didn’t deserve that pain, you really didn’t, friend. So rage if you need to, or lay down, or cry, or watch that movie that makes you forget everything else, or listen to that music that you hold in your heart. Let your heart rest, and maybe it won’t be that heavy when you wake up.

the amount of letters in your full name is now your forever age. what is it?

Out of “You’re a disgrace to our family” or “You’re everything we didn’t want our child to be” which is your favourite? I can’t choose, both of them are being used so much 😀
