An ideal world is one that knows no pain. That, sadly, is not the one we live in. Pain is a part of the human experienceâbut failure to move on from it makes you miserable. If you dwell too much on what has happened, you will never be fulfilled enough to see all the good you have/ that is to come. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of a situation.
âAnd in fact, itâs time to forsake someone elseâs idea of what gives you a spark or no spark. Block the âotherâ from the picture. No more audience. Just you.â
Whether you choose to take that responsibility (of acceptance), or give it up to the disappointments of life, you return to yourself. The choice is whether to wallow in the misery of that pain, or take it as it comes and look at what it has to offer you.

been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says âthe time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not⊠how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserableâ. 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 Iâve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience wouldâve 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 itâs an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time âïž

it may be cringe. it may have been said before. but sometimes, after we are continuously exposed to the same phrases we start hearing them as background noise, hearing them without actually fully listening to them and applying them to our lives. your reality is literally whatever you choose to make it!!! and you are the only one who is truly in control of that and can truly shape that. i absolutely hate the tumblr romanticizaction of sadness and the notion that âpositive/happy people are stupid or ignorantâ and that ânegative people are broody and intelligent because they see the world for what it truly isâđ„. it is so damaging to think that way, on the first-hand, to yourself, and it is soooo easy to fall into a mindset where you victimize yourself. on the other hand, it is so difficult to be in a negative circumstance or surrounded by negative things and purposely choose not to wallow in your misery and to instead take control of your life and concentrate on the positive parts of it instead. YOU are the one who has to live in your own brain at the end of the day- why would you want to make it an uninhabitable environment? youâre basically the architect of a new house in creative mode on minecraft and youâre choosing to build a dirt block house instead of a mansion. (ofc this is a generalized statement and it is so valid to be sad and be going through it when youâre going through adverse circumstances. i donât want to advocate for toxic positivity and i think itâs so important to recognize and feel your emotions, good or bad! Denying/avoiding your emotions is also extremely damaging. also acknowledging that this can come easier or harder to different people in different circumstances.but regardless, at the end of the day, you are in charge of how you respond to your circumstances!) it is so easier said than done, especially if youâre in a rough patch of your life or have built a habit of romanticizing your sadness. this is something I have to remind myself of all the time too- tldr: negativity should be acknowledged and experienced, and not a basis for identity.

âhow can a person know everything at eighteen, but nothing at twenty-twoâ
life truly humbles you. as you start growing older, you stop only chasing the big things, and start valuing the little things too. being able to weave stories of experiences and begin applying themâintegrating the lessons and learning curves.
in the past few hours of being eighteen, ive learnt how limited our time on earth truly is. i was advised (perhaps even lectured) that i shouldnât try to defy natureâs course with futile attempts to âage gracefullyâ, but to rather age with mischief, audacity and a good story to tell. beyond grateful for the love that surrounds me, and the love that i am bound to give out.

âwoman says âi love this songâ after every song on her own playlistâ
(core)
i always notice music; music is what feelings sound like. because it has to, the world will changeâand people will too. naturally, one of my favorite parts of the year is between late november and early december: spotify wrapped season. keeping track of peopleâs listening habits (to figure out whose allowed on aux) has always been a nosy pleasure of mine. i never want to lose connections to change; music allows me to sever those relationsââyou listen to catherine wheel?â⊠âi didnât know you were into fiona apple too!ââitâs a great way to form bonds. music connects people. i for one relish in this understanding. i, unfortunately, am an impatient person and cannot wait until the end of the year. i take this ngenart quiz monthly to record my own listening analytics as i continue to delve deeper into this interest, and share them casually in hopes that others will join in.

"You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place. Like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again."
- Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran
The best decision Iâve made this year was to start a video journal of my senior year and capture every momentâno matter how insignificantâto keep the year frozen in time. No matter how much time goes by; no matter how many characters I change to become, Iâll always have these videos to remind me of my essenceâwhere I come from, and what made me. It doesnât matter that the cusp of them are 0.5x videos of my friendsâ foreheads, clips of me crying in public restrooms, and logs of us stealing grocery store carts to race them down the streetâthese moments are what I stay alive for.
