Happy New Year Everyone! I Know It's A Little Late But I Hope You All Had Fun, One Of My Big New Years

Nice how that worked out

the secret history

writing of passions and secrets in a small diary by candlelight at midnight

studying in a dusty library with gentle sun pouring through, trying to take your mind off something (classical tracks for study)

people-watching by the side of a busy street in a strange new town

the heart at high tide; landscape of a wreckage

the ordeal of the assassination of richard stirling (if we were villains)

Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venezia

jan 08, mmxx. (here are some pictures from the afternoon when the sun decided to finally show its face, and I decided to finally get off my arse and take pictures)

2020 did not start out all that well, and Iʼve been trying to distance myself a bit from social media to get myself together, and I guess thatʼs partially worked, or at least stifled my terrible coping mechanism of mindlessly scrolling through instagram when Iʼm low. (which always just makes me feel ten times worse for both the eye strain and the time wasted.) i feel better now, though—and coincidentally, monday was supposed to be the first day of school, which was making me feel a bit awful because I had one or two things that I had planned I would do over the break but it didnʼt, but then the government ended up making them extend it by a week? so that was a gift, because now Iʼm trying to be as productive as I can and redeem myself. also, (belatedly) happy new year!

Truths that have changed my life:

You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate.

You’re never asking for too much or asking for the wrong thing; you’re just asking the wrong people.

Rejection is redirection. Better things are waiting elsewhere. Trust in synchronicity.

Here and now is worth being alive and enjoying the moment to the fullest. Not someday when you will have X and Y goal accomplished. You are worthy of letting yourself be happy here and now.

The only limitations in your life are those that you impose on yourself - first and foremost, mentally. So release them.

Work on your goals lowkey, and only share the progress with truly dear people to you, that you know can treasure the delicate energy of a blooming goal, with only positive energy.

When you let go of the old, you tell the universe, “I’m ready for the new.”

Amazing things await you, if you allow them into your space. Believe that you deserve better, and you will.
