Currently telling myself that every good drama and romcom film starts with the character in the absolute pits!
The only thing dragging me through life right now is discipline and fear of academic failure. whoopee!
Trying to find the best in most / all situations! But not in a toxic positivity kind of way. But just in general. Find the silver lining even if it’s hard but I promise it’ll help with perspective of situations.

I went to bars by myself just to read and listen to the music. I learned recently that’s the freedom you gain when you go places alone. I spend so much of my life unintentionally waiting for permission to do things. Waiting on someone else to want to do things with me. It’s sort of weird being an adult and being allowed to just go to another country because you feel like it. It’s a freedom that I’ve never been brave enough to explore before. I wonder if this experience was a as weird and wonderful for anyone else as it was for me.

Guys no one tells you but it’s actually kind of easy to cheer yourself up if you just focus on the little things.
Yesterday I had a horrible day lined up, full of jobs and meetings :( so I wore my favourite shoes. Everyone tells me they're ugly but they make me happy!
Was thinking today about how wild it is that most people attending public school in Scotland are required to learn cultural dances. And then most of the pubs in towns and village will host a dance every month or so? And we can all just go and do our dances because everyone knows them? And it’s super cool and sociable? Isn’t that fun?!! (I love ceilidhs)
