Stop Asking If You’re “valid,” Start Asking If You’re Being Honest About Belonging To A Community.

“Not loving yourself back is also unrequited love.”

— Tablo (Blonote)

sorry

please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future. 

ur twenties are weird. i have the priorities of a kindergartener again. i don’t know what in the hell is going on EVER. i like colors. i like soup. i want to take a nap

Me: writes unedited nonsense

Also me: gets annoyed when that unedited nonsense has typos

little study tips

set up a reward system: be that candy, lighting your favorite scented candle, watching that episode of b99, or scrolling through tumblr aimlessly for 5 minutes! ensures you stay motivated while completing tasks step by step

create a vision board: vision boards are collections of pictures that motivate you or describe a future you want to achieve. not only is it a lot of fun, you learn a lot about yourself and your goals and always have something to give you that spike of motivation. tip: pinterest has amazing boards on every. topic. out. there

break up your larger tasks into smaller ones: i’m sure you’ve heard this a thousand times but it’s so important to create a list of smaller tasks instead of one big one. everything seems much more do-able once of a sudden, and you can prioritize certain tasks much more easily.

write it down instead of looking at it: if you really want to memorize something, writing it down will help you a lot more than just repeating the words out loud or staring at them. this also goes for any structures you need to know by heart: printing out a picture and labeling it is way better than just looking at the labeled textbook!

just start for 5 minutes: even if you don’t feel like it, tell yourself you’ll only do it for 5 minutes. this makes it easier to actually get started on things, and might still trick you into continuing the work even after those 5 minutes are over.

write a letter to your future self: some websites, such as futureme, offer the free service of being able to send yourself an email in some months, a year or multiple years from now. thinking about how much can change in that amount of time and how far you can come is extremely motivating, and also a very nice surprise for your future self.

You know what ladies?? it’s not a crime to know you’re a CATCH!! hell yeah you’re cute! Own that shit. Call yourself a goddess, take selfies in good light. Knowing you’re that bitch is sexy and it is not conceit as long as you also bring others up, and know that other women are also a frickin catch!! Knowing your own worth isn’t conceit because it doesn’t equal thinking of others as less.

Don’t spend another year doing the same shit.
