Learning something new (especially but not only languages or skills) takes a lot of time and focus. Be patient and open! I often get a feeling of instant panic or frustration when I approach something new that seems too confusing. But stick with it, and things will start coming together! This is important not only for approaching external things, but also for working through your own ideas. This is my grad school affirmation I have to tell myself every time I open my laptop 😱

It’s overwhelming when nothing seems to quite work out, but the opportunities are endless. patience and persistence was my motto 🙂

moving here can be really hard!!! my first year or two was extremely difficult but i eventually found my footing. i recommend staying open to possibilities but also being selective—there is sooo much to choose from here that new things are often worth trying but you also dont have to waste your time on things that feel untrue to you. it's all about finding the balance ^___^ seek out what interests you and dont be afraid of taking risks!!!

it’s so easy to get caught up in hopelessness or feel like a sense of disconnection from yourself will last forever ... sometimes all it takes is patience and an ounce of believing in yourself

Really, the public library is just a big living room. Enjoy it as such.

People (myself included) always love to talk about ’free bleeding’. I think that we live in a tampon/menstrual cup obsessed society that has alienated us so much from wearing a pad that we now think of ‘free bleeding’ as our only alternative. You can just wear a pad. All the fun of free bleeding minus the mess. Hope this helps 💋
