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.
it’s not a myth. it gets easier. every bit of hard work is worth something. it builds you up.
y’all, i feel like i need to remind y’all that there’s a huge difference between ignoring what’s going on, and taking a mental break because you’re exhausted with trying to keep up with the situation in the country right now. this shit is no joke and is weighing incredibly heavy on people such as myself and if you need to take a break from this and just log out, please do. please take care of yourself and don’t feel bad that you’re not keeping up with things at every second of the day.
you can start anytime.
you can brush your teeth in the middle of the day. you can wash the dishes at 2am. you can do things outside the normal times assigned by society.
Productivity is not mandatory during this quarantine. Stop being so hard on yourself. You do not need to accomplish important things every single day. You are not a machine. You’re human. Let yourself breathe.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005) dir. Joe Wright
made me think of this sentence that changed my brain chemistry irreparably -> “because everyday is all there is”
People who get excited over the stars, the moon and sunsets are my kinda people
