Haikyuu boys as things my imaginary therapist said to me
Hinata— “You can only do your best when you’re at your best.
Kageyama— “Being alone isn’t always a bad thing, but it’s important to recognize the difference between being alone and being lonely.”
Daichi— “You have to go on. No matter how hard it is. No matter how much it hurts. You go on because there are people counting on you, and you go on because tomorrow, it’s buy one get one free pizza day at the pizzeria.”
Suga— “Failure is an option. Failure is not an end all be all. You don’t have to be a genius at anything to start with, or to end with. It’s not such a terrible thing, to be a failure.”
Oikawa— “The first and most important thing is that you love what you do. Everything else is second.”
Iwaizumi— “Sometimes self care is slapping the shit out of someone but we have to ask consent for that first. Do NOT slap someone randomly. That’s called assault.”
Ushijima— "People are just assholes, sometimes. You gotta learn to work around that."
Tendou— "Do NOT binge eat ice cream. The tummyache isn't worth it."
Semi— "Yes, music is actually a great way to process your emotions."
Kita— "You can't always be good at something when you start— it's actually quite rare to be good at something you just started doing. The way to get good is to consistently practice, and then you'll start making progress."
Atsumu— "Don't be afraid to feel your feelings. That's what humans were put on this earth to do, to feel."
Osamu— "Food therapy counts as therapy, as long as it's in moderation."
Kuroo— "No matter where you are in life, as long as you were nice to someone once, you can probably extort that."
Kenma— "Do it for love, if nothing else."
Bokuto— “Stop wasting your time on people who don’t appreciate you for who you are. Your people will come to you. They’ll see you and think, I will love this.”
Akaashi— “Things change. People change. Plans can change. And that’s not always in your control. Give yourself some grace.”
