It might sound silly, but this morning I accidentally went to the wrong class. I’ve been really trying to work on my time blindness, so being late felt super frustrating. I started beating myself up in my head, but then I decided to say out loud: “It’s okay, you’re trying your best,” “Everyone makes mistakes,” and “Showing up and making the effort matters more than being perfect.” Surprisingly, that actually helped a lot. By the time I got to the right class, I felt way calmer than I usually do in these situations and my professor was understanding and kind, which made a big difference. If anything, this was just a reminder to be gentle with yourself today :)

It’s not easy, I’m still tough on myself, but when I catch myself thinking negatively about things I’m doing wrong or not perfect, I imagine how my inner child would feel and I would comfort and forgive her, reassuring her that it’s ok and that we’ll figure out what we can do better

it’s ok to fuck stuff up, you’re human (a reminder for myself)

It’s normal to make mistakes or misunderstand things. Now you know that you can ask clarifying questions or seek confirmation if expectations/instructions are unclear to you. I think if you place your self worth in your academic performance it may or may not be helpful to examine why that is, but nobody is perfect. Mistakes are how we grow!

I adopted my cat almost 3 years ago after going my whole life thinking I wasn’t a cat person. After watching my dear friends take care of their dorm cat (Beef!) I fell in love. I never quite understood cats- I always saw them through my child eyes as being elusive and standoffish. After solidifying my friendship with Beef I realized how strong the bond between cat and (wo)man can be- because it’s earned. My precious Duchess was the crustiest cat at the shelter but when she opened her big sapphire eyes I knew we were a destined pair. Duchess has sat with me through two heartbreaks, the hardest year of my life, multiple moves, long car rides, and many, many, sleepless nights. To say she’s my best friend isn’t totally correct- I feel she is truly a part of the fabric of my being. She has helped me trust myself to care for another living being, loved me on my most rotten days, and cuddled me when I’m sad (even though she pretends she hates it). I never knew such a small creature could change my entire world. On the loneliest days she licks my hand with her scratchy tongue and lays her head on my legs and I suddenly the darkness isn’t so dark. Thank you Duchess, my sweet girl, my forever love.
