I do feel like this whole self improvement culture thing can go too far where people are never happy with who they are and where they are because they’re constantly trying to be better or do better and they’re always waiting for some sort of glow up or achievement or therapy realisation that will make them feel complete but that isn’t real and life is actually in the every day

life is so much simpler when your heart breaks. you don't need to eat cause you're never hungry, your crying-induced migraine makes you go to bed earlier, no need to spend hours on makeup, you suddenly love going to work, you hang out with your friends every day, you walk a lot so you don't have to think. pretty practical huh
sooooo sleepy today… i hate emails!!!!
