Even in friendship like ?? Why are you dry texting me ?? Why does it feel like I’m the only one interested in being friends??

Unfortunately, the possibility of what if plays on in my mind, it’s a broken record I don’t know how to fix

— Donte Collins

"Not every emotion needs expression. Some feelings are better kept as private art."

Why do I find myself running from life instead of chasing it, I’ve become so fixed in my ways that I’m starting to think the material I’m made out of isn’t flesh.

No, I refuse to stop this war I’m battling against isn’t hard the ultimate war against myself

the ability to see more beauty in the world is a skill. the more beauty you see, the more comes to you, the more you create yourself. so much of the disempowerment people feel is because they are trained to see the ugly and negative in everything. you have to unpick your mind from the lure of negativity and train yourself to find beauty. if you want a beautiful life, it starts with learning to find the beauty everywhere.

You said you loved me; I believed it I really did. But,there got to a point where your words weren’t enough

'i should draw' 'i should paint' 'i should write fic' 'i should read' 'i should embroider' 'i shou-

All studyblrs out there, I just wanted to say:

YOUR NOTES NEED NOT BE BEAUTIFUL

OR PERFECT

THEY DON'T NEED TO BE IMMACULATE

CROSSING OUT IS OKAY

CROSS IT OUT AND TRY AGAIN. THAT'S LEARNING.

Your notes CAN be beautiful, perfect, without mistakes. In fact you should be proud of them. But at the same time, crossings out do not make notes any less valuable.

"But ohh they make it look ugly" "ohh but crossing out means I got it wrong"

NO!

You did good.

Crossing it out is recognising that you got it wrong.

Let me ask you this:

How would you know it was wrong if you didn't know what was correct?

The crossed out section is a testament to your learning and I think you should take pride in that as well. Nobody is perfect.

I want to see your imperfect notes with little scribbles and jottings.

Capture the essence of the feverish scholar frantically noting down their ideas as they rush towards a new horizon- their breakthrough. Their ultimate discovery. The thing they've been working on for their entire life.

Capture that essence of "I must, because it has to be done."

But again, at the same time, make them pretty! Put effort into their making! It's no different to a piece of art.

Your notes can be however you want them to be. They are for you and nobody else. If you take pride in them, their purpose is fulfilled.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
