one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
Sometimes I see the academia aesthetic on tumblr and I’m like … not once in the entirety of my academic career has it EVER looked like that lol

My Personal Power-Walk Playlist:
Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man
You are not obligated to save others.
Yes, you should try to help them, yes, you should do your best, but sometimes your best isn't enough, sometimes your own struggle is so overwhelming that you can't concentrate on others and sometimes there are people who don't want to be saved.
It's sad, but it's not your fault. And I feel like this isn't said often enough.
You are worthy and loved, even if you don't sacrifice yourself for others.
"I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have."
Stephen Chbosky, The perks of being a wallflower
i fucking hate when people look down on those with social anxiety like “oh that happens to everybody” “just do it you’ll be fine” no, it’s a legitimate disorder and a lot of people are inadvertently hurt by you brushing shit under the rug begone thot
every time i see someone i dont like on tinder i report them
