Sometimes you just have to look at someone who’s being unnecessarily rude or unkind or hostile towards you & wrinkle your nose & go “it’s not that deep. you’re so weird for thinking it’s that deep” & then go back to your happy fulfilling life that will forever be independent of how people perceive u
an intense hatred of capitalism vs an intense love of trinkets

This morning I took myself for breakfast and spent until midday in the same spot reading The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath and working on a short story.
Do you keep changing yourself and pushing yourself to satisfy everyone around you? Yes, you might have more friends if you change yourself to meet other's expectations, but you will have REAL friends if you stay true to yourself. It might be hard to accept, but a "friend" who always nags you and constantly asks favours and expects things from you, they are not a friend, they are a parasite. It's impossible to please everyone. If people get offended if you make boundaries, it reflects their selfishness instead of your own. Taking care of yourself and prioritising yourself is NEVER selfish, it shows you value yourself instead . Besides, not everyone is even worth pleasing in the first place. Manipulative people can immediately see when someone is a people pleaser or is too nice for their own good, and they will abuse these qualities to fit their own needs. The second you start prioritising yourself, toxic people will start disappearing from your life and you will start living the life you truly deserve. If you constantly feel the need to say "yes" to requests even though they are back-breaking, realise that you will have to pay for what you are putting yourself through. It is actually much easier to say "no" to something you can't handle or makes you uncomfortable instead of sacrificing your health, time and patience just because you felt the need to say "yes" constantly. It is time to take care of yourself and prioritise your mental and physical health, you deserve it <3
here’s a shout out to all the students who pulled through during this chaotic year - and whether you are satisfied with how you did or not, please know that grades do not define you or your worth and that you should feel proud of yourself no matter what <3
I'm tired of being nice to ppl who use me.
So I'm not going to be.
