What adults actually like is to get enough sleep, genuine non-stick pan, book promotions, caring for plants, a home, bedding with a fragrant smell, love, pampering their pets, quiet neighbors, emotional security, and not having to express an opinion about everything.
when life is shit turn the music up
the pain will change you but it doesn't have to define you
repetition rewires the brain
repetition rewires the brain
repetition rewires the brain
repetition rewires the brain
saying no to things that make you fell like shit is a heroic act of self love

how to make your real world feel like your magical fantasy world?
- make a list of the colors, textures, sounds, and scents most common in your daydreams and look for them in new experiences
- give each chore or errand you have to do its own specifically themed for the character you want to be while doing it
- find spaces that create a culture for your different selves, collect what illustrates your personal universe, follow style instincts - not trends
- make up a subplot or side quest for it. let it inspire your lunch choice. think of how the things you encounter play into it
- give fantastical names to the ordinary places and objects you use + come across every day. refer to them as such in your planner and diary
- stay curious. give small details big stories.
daily affirmations: it is what it is. their loss. i'm cool asf. life goes on. my outfit is cute. i survived last yr i can survive anything. i'm goated.
Knowing how to cook is intelligence
Laying floors is also intelligence
Sewing is also intelligence
Knowing how to garden, clean a house, fix a car, play an instrument, communicate, speak Italian
, draw, all of this is intelligence
Knowledge doesn't reside only in a college degree
Neither too stoic to avoid being made a fool of, nor too nihilistic to avoid seeming boring
Normalize lying to those who are curious and ask too many questions about your life
"Wow, i haven't seen you around"
"Yes, i was arrested"
