“Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide.”
— C.S. Lewis
what i regret most is that i wasted too much time and energy worrying about things that haven't even happened yet instead of savouring or embracing the small joys in the present.
be mindful of who you share your feelings with, as some people may use your sufferings to manipulate you or your accomplishments to deceive you.
now i understand why our parents often told us not grow up too fast. because they are aware of how challenging adult life will be, whereas we were clueless that once we reached adulthood, we would have wished to go back to our childhood.
please remember that hurting someone else simply because you're hurting was never okay and never will be.
there is no perfect working environment. toxicity can be found anywhere. it is just a matter of which one is worth sticking with.
I truly encourage you to add things that simply bring you joy to your list of things to do that day.
it doesn't have to be big, it can be as simple as making your favourite drink or food for lunch or spending some time on a hobby or watching a show you enjoy.
adding things to look forward to and giving yourself time to experience those things is just as important as doing every other thing on that list.
you're allowed to plan to do things for no other reason than it makes you happy.
i don't want to get to the point where i will be drained because of the career.
