here’s a secret: you’re not annoying, I promise! even when you talk about your feelings, even when you ramble on about that thing you found that makes you so happy, even when you need space and have to take time for yourself. you are always loved, even when you feel like you’re at your lowest. no one is judging you for thinking about yourself sometimes. you’re not selfish for taking care of yourself.

thoradvice:

this isn’t all that there is!!! there are sunsets you haven’t seen, people you haven’t met, things you haven’t learned, food you haven’t tried, and places you haven’t visited. life is so much more than what you’re experiencing right now, and there will always be new things coming. there’s so much more out there for you!!

I want you to know that it’s okay if all you managed to do today was breathe.

It’s okay if you didn’t manage to get out of bed.

It’s okay if you didn’t get that piece of work done.

It’s okay if you couldn’t socialize today.

I’m proud of you. Tomorrow is a chance for a fresh start. Stay strong and be safe.

anti-pro-destruction:

ways to become friends with yourself:

• set boundaries with people. those who respect you, will respect them.
• allow yourself to accept good things. you deserve happiness and warmth and love.
• it’s okay to be a mess. it’s okay to not know what your next step is. it’s okay to be scared. trust that the universe has your back.
• remember that healing is not linear. you are not weak because some days are suddenly harder than others.
• consciously feel the world under your feet as you walk and the warmth of the sun on your cheek.
• do things you enjoy! even if they seem silly. even if you think you have no time. make time for yourself.
• take care of yourself. take deep breaths. take bubble baths. take too long admiring yourself in the mirror.

• sure someone might have a better educational background or family background, but what really matters when interacting with people is your personality and attitude
• If there is something that you don’t like about yourself, admit it, accept it, and change it. Changing something about yourself doesn’t mean you are loving yourself less, in fact you are loving yourself more
• Respect others until they prove they do not deserve it. But sometimes for the sake of your future self, doesn’t disrespect them. Just because they don’t deserve your respect doesn’t mean you have to disrespect them or be mean to them. They are humans with mistakes too
• It’s fine to not date in high school. Sometimes we’re just not ready. And the people we were might not have been ready to treat others the way they deserve to be.
• Mental health is important. period.
• HEALTH IS IMPORTANT PERIOD
• If your back hurts do some yoga. If you need to de-stress do some yoga. Yoga calmed me before I did anything without a clear mind. 100% recommend anyone to try it out once
• Take pictures. With you in them. Yes, you might cringe but you’ll regret not having photos with your friends. Especially nice ones if all you have are funny meme ones
• Learn to text, you’ll need this skill when everyone is gone
• It’s never too late to apologize
• If you are disorganized I beg you to start organizing your stuff now, it’s not because I told you so or because your mum wants you to, it’s because your future self will thank you
• Do everything with your future self in mind
• Learn a few recipes even if you are terrible at cooking. Practice and master those recipes. They’ll feed you and you’ll have staples to bring to gatherings if needed (then slowly work from there and learn more recipes)
• Yes school matters but it’s actually all about how you use the resources available to you
• Start experimenting and find out what study techniques are for you. Grades seem much more important in uni than that quiz where you can cover up with extra credit
• DO EXTRA CREDIT IF THERE IS AND IF YOU CAN
• Learn to and always say no when you can’t. There’s a difference between being uncomfortable to go outside of your comfort zone and being uncomfortable while trying to swallow a panic attack
• Learn about yourself. You are not boring. The inside world means as much as the outside world. If you see nothing, build something. try and see what you like or dislike.

bro oh my god … vanilla extract

vanilla extract smells wonderful but tastes horrific on its own. but mixed with sugar and flour and cream it tastes just like it smells. we need the support of others to reach our full potential

no man is an island everyone is vanilla extract

Choose recovery,

Choose recovery again,

And again,

And again, and again, and again, and again.
