“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
— Henry David Thoreau

a lot can happen in a year, a month, a week, a day. don’t get too caught up on things not changing fast enough.
merry christmas to the people who have to pretend to be someone they’re not for their families, who don’t have family to celebrate with, who have bad past experiences with the holiday, who are having a rough year and just want to reach the end of it, who couldn’t afford gifts this year and feel guilt over it. merry christmas to everyone but especially those of you who are feeling down.
"I don't answer work-related phone calls, texts, emails, etc. outside of work hours. Whatever it is can wait until the next time I'm at work."
"I'm setting a timer. When the timer goes off, it's time to stop playing that video game, because otherwise I know I won't get anything else done today."
"I will cook for myself, with what I have in the fridge, so that I don't order out. I spent way too much last month on takeout."
"I will not let myself doomscroll all day long."
"When Chicken Little posts about how the sky is falling, I will take a minute to fact-check before I panic. And it may be in my best interests to unfollow or mute Chicken Little."
"I will unfollow those thinspo and fitspo accounts that trigger my body-image issues."
"I will make myself take a shower, and I will figure out what makes showering hard for me, so I can make it easier. I can sit or lie down, for example."
"This weekend is for resting. Not going out, not "catching up" on whatever I didn't get to during the week, just resting."
"I'm sure of my talent and I'm sure of my love for life."
“Never make fun of someone’s passion because that’s the thing that saves them from the world.”
