It's a quote from Voltaire. I know a bit pretentious maybe, but ooh well it's a good one to keep into the back of your mind. I think we all feel a bit judged by numbers, society, reviews, likes and what not. The presure to always progress, keep on striving and running. To what end though? Be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up mentally, cause you feel like you or what your doing/have done is not "perfect". A little message from me to you strangers on the internet: you are already doing more than good enough, even existing is hard <3

⚖️Nothing is every truly perfect, and upon realizing that it’s easy to fall victim to disillusion and find yourself on the other end of the spectrum — this thing must be imperfect and flawed and broken.
But what if you lived in the tension space? Where nothing is ever truly perfect and where nothing is going to fully be all that you need it to be? Can you find yourself between those two opposing camps?
It’s easier to date someone and marry someone and love someone when you realize they’re not perfect, and they never will be, and you get to love them in spite of their imperfections. There are bands that shift and grow and their sounds change and they get written off — no! How wonderful is it to accept that people change and sounds change and genres change! That restaurant that made you that one dish that one time that you can’t stop dreaming about? One day you’ll order it again and it won’t be as good; do you write off that restaurant? NO! You go again! Because bad days happen!
I’m on a rant, and it doesn’t even make complete sense, but I’m very tired of feeling like everything has to be entirely perfect otherwise it’s imperfect. It’s so silly to write things off like that, so naive too. The world doesn’t work by making everything exactly how you need it to be, it’s our job to encounter things that aren’t ideal and learn to live with them in spite of all the imperfections.

inspired by a convo I had today + Sabrina Carpenter’s speech at a variety event last year (?)
I hope this reminder finds anyone who needs it because I know I needed to hear it today (yes I was tweaking out ok) — I know this sounds awfully annoying when you’re in the midst of it all but I hope we find it in ourselves to genuinely fall in love with the process, whatever that means for us as individuals — whether that’s with a craft, goal, or vision etc etc.
for me personally i am learning to appreciate the version of myself rn. to expand, the version who is still trying to figure out how showing up authentically looks like for me, feeling v awkward while doing so, but also trying to remember that i will never have her again. i saw this quote also the other day and it really moved me

❤️Dude, I'm gonna level with you as someone who works at a suicide hotline, the world is a shitty, shitty place and that means seeing a good future is close to impossible sometimes. Hope is a choice more than a feeling. You're not always going to see that light at the end of the tunnel, and that's okay. It's unreasonable, with everything going on in the world, and with everything going on with your own life, to expect you to feel like it's going to be okay. But you can know, logically, that there are actionable steps you can take toward things getting better, and you're going to trust that that light's there anyway and keep pushing towards it. The world is a shitty place, but it only gets worse when good people give up. You keep hope alive by not giving up, you keep hope alive by trusting there are people who are still fighting too. And that's a skill, you know? Finding a way to grit your teeth and put your faith in yourself and others isn't easy, but I promise it'll get easier with time and practice.
There's a rec going around this morning about hope as a discipline, and I think that it captures quite a bit of what I'm trying to say here, but what it doesn't capture is that it's hard and it sucks a lot of the time. Maintaining hope is hard, and you should be proud of yourself for trying.

👯I always found it hard to keep in contact with people since I'm not the best texter. Plus, I usualy felt like a floater friend, like I just wasn't in the loop cause people liked others more. Of course, growing apart is nothing bad and if they were truly like that, than it's better that I'm no longer friends with them. However, I got in contact with someone I hadn't spoken with for a long time and it was great. Life gets busy and a lot of people are full in their head from everything. It's not always cause they never think of you (anymore) or don't value your friendship.

🐈Trying hard is sometimes being looked down upon, it's not "cool". You know what, who cares. I get comments so often, like "your intense, you're such a try hard or why do you actually ...". I used to see it as weird/mean comments, until later when I realised some people just hate to see others actually enjoying themeselves. Another thing, the fact that I'm doing my best doesn't mean that I excell and tbh I used to find that a bit depressing. But recently I've learned to embrace the fact that it's actually quite nice to just do things, whatever the result. Def a change in mindset on things, but it has been a really nice change in mindset so far.
