“💙 Lessons From Eeyore 💙 1. It’s okay not to be happy all the time. 2. The world is exhausting because it’s too optimistic that it hurts. 3. It could be worse. 4. Some mornings are just meant to be terrible. 5. Some people will never get tired of your tiredness. Love them. 6. Some friends will outgrow you, but that doesn’t mean that they no longer care for you. 7. Some friends will outshine you, but that doesn’t mean that they no longer love you for being you. 8. It’s okay to be alone and not feel lonely. 9. It’s okay to be alone, especially if it’s a Saturday night at your house. 10. Sometimes the truth is nobody will be there at your most jaded moments. 11. Embrace solitude. 12. Not expecting too much from life can protect you from disappointments. 13. Pessimists can be great thinkers. 14. Talking slow and dull doesn’t mean you’re stupid. 15. You can be sad and still go on adventures with the people who notice you for who you really are, and that’s alright. 16. You can be sad and still be helpful even though you’re usually the helpless one. 17. Don’t take life too seriously. 18. But having a nice tail is important. Your aestheticness, style, and fashion are important. Just looking good at a new cute outfit can make your day. 19. The rain will one day stop, and everything will feel beautiful but it would rain again, and that’s life. 20. There are people who will always remember your birthday and would go the extra mile to make you feel special. 21. The void between sadness and satisfaction can be filled with sarcasm. 22. It’s all going to be okay no matter how bad, terrible or severe things would get and it would get worse eventually, but you’ll survive. 23. Like the grey donkey, don’t forget to be grateful and say “Thanks for noticin’ me,””

It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.
why use makeup and high heels to strike fear into the hearts of men when just existing as an autonomous person with your own thoughts and feelings is the most terrifying thing any man can imagine
Children aren’t considered mature enough to be responsible for their actions yet their actions in school determine most of their life
bored (ignoring a ridiculous amount of tasks)

i love you. on purpose.

I’m so much more productive after the sun goes down. While the sun is up I feel the weight of having to do things and it just overwhelms me.
But when the sun has gone to bed suddenly my time is my own. I can do with it what I will and oftentimes that means the cleaning I’ve been meaning to do, the projects I’ve been putting off. They suddenly don’t seem overwhelming to me.
I like it when the sun goes down.
Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight.
