Some days feel so painful from all the stress, and yes I know it’s supposed to build character or what not. Honestly whoever said that never worked at a creative.
Recently thought I’ve just been reminding myself “it’s okay… I’m getting by.” Seems odd to say out loud, but hurts less then keeping the thought in the body/mind!

been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says “the time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not… how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserable”. reminds me of that old Seneca quote, Something about the man who worries before necessary, suffers twice. when things already suck, i still have the option to be happy & make things better for myself. i know it sounds easier said than done but many times I’ve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience would’ve gotten me through. every Moment is an opportunity to turn things around & make myself happy. gratitude helps a lot w this. blurting This all out here coz i know it’s an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time ⭐️

maybe a dumb realization but sometimes say it’s okay to feel kinda shitty for no reason, it feels better than trying to like fix it with exercise or food or entertainment like you're your own helicopter parent.

Maybe i have too high a tolerance for discomfort but something tells me thats not the worst thing. Whats so bad about slapping on a smile when it hurts. You go for a run you change your perspective and things are good until they aren’t and you go and try to fix it again. about the journey right? maybe it is better to be honest with yourself i dont know. But this works sometimes for me believe in life and love try ur best etc. sorry to preach.

You don’t have to like everyone. Sometimes it’s okay just to say I don’t like you. It will let you feel a little lighter.
