been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says “the time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not… how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserable”. reminds me of that old Seneca quote, Something about the man who worries before necessary, suffers twice. when things already suck, i still have the option to be happy & make things better for myself. i know it sounds easier said than done but many times I’ve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience would’ve gotten me through. every Moment is an opportunity to turn things around & make myself happy. gratitude helps a lot w this. blurting This all out here coz i know it’s an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time ⭐️

I think the biggest thing my therapist helped me realize is that moments that are tough or seasons of your life that seem impossible will not last forever. It is not about sitting in the struggle but understanding how to effectively work through it.

But you will never have enough time to do all you want.
That’s the cruel, breathtakingly beautiful truth of life.

They're consummate empaths and they keep it really fucking simple. A toddler will give you a savage and brutally accurate read. Also, most times they don't really know what you're even going on and on about but they like to hear you talk so they're great listeners, too.

I'm a hopeless Qornhead. I bought one bag to see what all the hype was about and now I'm out here ordering crates straight from Bjorn and bringing it to people's houses as a host gift instead of wine

after people say "thank you." "No problem" and "don't worry about it" are so trife. Acknowledge your own effort, and recognize the other person's gratitude in one fell "you're welcome." It feels good.
