Oh let’s break (down)
“A writer lives within two worlds: the one around them, and the one within them.”
— (via darkness–and–light)
take a journal and camera everywhere I go.
write down lovely words that people said to me, poems, ideas, and quotes that inspire me.
plan fun itineraries for weekends and bucket lists for seasons.
eat fresh fruits.
don’t let my insecurities stop me from enjoying things.
do everything I want to do that takes daily practice, patience and some discomfort.
collect recipes to make.
tell people i love them and compliment what I like about them.
watch classic movies.
hug people tightly.
let myself calm down and relax.
break tasks down so I don’t get overwhelmed.
drink tea or fruit infused water.
put on my favorite perfume, even if i’m not going out.
don’t wait for the perfect day to start a new thing.
make plans with friends and actually follow through.
give myself permission to not be perfect, and remember something is better than nothing.
make my bed in the morning.
tidy my desk and remove things and tabs i don’t use often.
go to inspiring places like gardens, art museums, old cafés, oceans or forests.
make playlists or write to cope with emotions.
take photos of everything i love.
You’re only being creepy, if the other person doesn’t like you
things to do instead of self-harming
wax your legs and/or armpits
paint your nails
draw where you want to hurt yourself
put moisturizer all over your body
ask someone to distract you
put makeup on
pluck your eyebrows
run until you’re extremely out of breath
take a very hot or cold shower
go for a bike ride
hold ice
break something
listen to some really loud music
Even if you can't see it yet, you add something important to this world. Every time you smile at someone, you make a difference. Every time you create something, whether it's fanfic or vent art, you make a difference. Every time you listen to someone, you make a difference. Every time you make someone laugh, you make a difference. Every time you do someone a favor, you make a difference. Every time you help someone out, you make a difference. Every time you speak up, you make a difference. Every time you express yourself and let others express themselves, you make a difference. Every time you take care of your pet or your loved ones, you make a difference. It may just be little things - but little things add up in the long run and it's good that you're here!
