this is a phrase i saw on a sweatshirt someone was wearing at Gulbenkian park in Lisbon over the summer and i was like yo that is so me. whenever i have the tiniest inkling of a plan for the future or an idea for a project or a new crush i make sure to tell absolutely everyone i talk to. its 95% not a problem at all in my life.
like i‘ll go to a family gathering and tell everyone about how i’m going to go to some university or program i’m simply PLANNING to apply to or i’ll kiss someone once and then tell everyone i’m in love. and when these things don’t work out they fade into oblivion soooo quickly and no one remembers and if they do it’s like so funny and cute that i acted like it was a sure thing. honestly let’s say it’s 100% not a problem in my life because i truly do not care about any of these so called failures or even the concept of failure itself at all.

I used to hesitate to tell people my obscure interests. Heck it, unapologetically tell everyone about the things you love

when people ask me about my job i‘m often tempted to launch into all of my frustrations, which sometimes i do
but sometimes i tell them, “it’s hard work, but i really love what i do” and it feels good to say!! i don’t have to self-flagellate for a stranger who just told me that they could “never” do what i do and make myself a martyr
i’m being honest but i‘m highlighting the best parts of my job instead of highlighting the worst parts—and i find myself a lot happier when i repeat this process for all aspects of my life
i love my partner, i love my pets, i love my city, i love my job. there are always things to complain about but there are also always things to celebrate

someone told me recently that i’m scared to care and admit i really care about something. and realized how i rarely allow myself to admit i love things. it’s so embarrassing to say heres what im passionate about and want to do in life, here’s something i care about and love, for fear its somehow going to escape you, be judged for wanting to pursue something and being new to it. so new goal here is to document things i love without feeling shame and encourage everyone to do the same. i love music and film and literature and fashion and art and people and i want to live surrounded by these things, and need to stop feeling embarrassed!

all you need is like 1-2 pages of text on paper, sometimes less. works every time. i used to swear by fiction but lately i’ve been reading a lot of “hard books” for example Concerning the spiritual in art by wassily kandinsky and Memories dreams reflections by carl jung and i think these work even better for sleepiness in the way they make me feel too stupid to be awake.
blue light from the phone/laptop etc will kill you
