- Fyodor Dostoevsky, "Crime And Punishment"

i just need to hold on until the trees start blooming again

i've been watching moomins again

it's such a fall/winter show to me idk it's so cozy and magical

the problem i run into men, without fail, is trying to talk to them like i talk to women and realizing that even the most conscious and progressive and evolved man just cannot reach me at the depth that women can. i want and expect that depth and complexity every time, but i need to let it go. i still enjoy talking to a handful of men, it’s not like it’s all horrible and boring—there’s fun and charm there. it’s just different.

take life a little less seriously. learn a skill that isn’t resume-friendly. own your decisions without punishing yourself. both above average and average results are great; it’s good to do something at all. do many things, do many things badly. think about the big picture. the time is passing, regardless

this is happening to me for a reason. i do understand that it's happening because i haven't fully reached the potential of being at full peace with myself, my existence in this world, as i am. that as long as i search for that peace in other people it will keep happening to me again and again. that as long as i don't let go of wanting to be in control over this, it will keep happening to me.

i bet positive thinking goes so hard when youre a normal person

Seriously nothing better than thinking omg I need some water and then drinking water.

I need to pull myself together in a very very very kind way
