“The world keeps ending but new people too dumb to know it keep showing up as if the fun’s just started.”

— John Updike, Rabbit Is Rich

some apps/websites i’ve been using to keep me productive

1. Flow - pomodoro timer for my laptop, super helpful (alternatively just use a study with me video)

2. Notion - v helpful for organization + so pretty!! 

3. Habitica - stopped using this after notion tbh but its still v fun, uses reward & punishment to get your productivity going!! 

4. Google Calendar - OG!!! use it to plan out ur day 

5. Google Drive - if you don’t use google drive how do u even live… its been super helpful w college essays bc my sister can keep giving me feedback w/o making 23672848 different docs. (excuse the image my drive is UGLY & unorganized)

6. Audible - audio! books! are! the! shit!!!!!!! kinda hate supporting amazon but honestly haven’t been able to find any good alternatives. if u know pls share!! (also just a heads up - indistractable is kinda sh*t so far) 

7. Zombie Run - its a fitness app that will give u cues during ur run that zombies are chasing u so you’ve got to sprint. idk how to describe it and i don’t have a photo of it rn (& i technically havent used it yet) but my sister loves it and i plan on trying it out today!

rip to people who love their interests a normal amount but i’m different, intense, and annoying :)

“Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.”

– Thomas Szasz

Shall I stop living or what? Coz lately I have been regretting every move of mine!

You learn more from failure than success. Don't let it stop you. Failure builds character.

- Unknown

You were not a bad child. You were not difficult. You were not a burden. You were not evil.

You were a child.

It was the people around you who had a problem

And it was the people around you who were selfish enough to take their problems out on a child who was too small and helpless to defend themself.

It was the people around you who raised you to hate yourself.

And it's hard to believe when that awful environment is all you've known

But there are people out there who would be horrified at the way you've suffered

And there are people out there who would think you're amazing

It's not your fault you grew up in an abusive household

They're the ones who chose to mistreat you

And they were the ones who convinced you to blame yourself

And you deserve better

I promise you, you deserve better

Stop wasting time in explaining yourself...Instead start doing what you want..
