virginia woolf's 1931 new years resolutions : "to have none. not to be tied. to be free & kindly with myself. sometimes to read, sometimes not to read. to go out, yes—but stay at home in spite of being asked. as for clothes, i think to buy good ones."

For your own peace of mind and sanity, don’t try to make sense of everything.
Totally lost with how life is. Haven't updated my tumblr for some time. So, what I have done lately:
Ethical research application for groupwork, prepping for semi-qualitative interview, doing my term paper (aka my supervisor asked me to do it and mayhaps, publish it), and attending seminars.
i just want a warm soup and a hug :( tired of sitting at my desk and studying
A little bit of reading.

critical reading and coffee! ☕️
You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now, and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead.
