Capitalism thrives off bootstrap thinking and sink or swim ideology, either you do it without support or you deserve to sink. And that has long escaped into our social spheres of “if you can’t help yourself you deserve it” But we are social and communal creatures who only got this far with community. People need help, and you’re gonna need help at some point too. It’s scary to put yourself out there but life will hurt either way.

Believe in the idea that nobody is coming to ”save” you or present you with the perfect opportunity. It’s up to you to make it happen, whatever it is you want. If you can get other people to help you, great, even better in some cases, but ultimately you are more capable than you think. If you simply make up your mind to do something, that itself can be the hardest part sometimes.

It’s hard and scary- but nothing else will make you truly negotiate what you actually want and need in life

I am so depressed but I am being incredibly brave about it and I recommend you guys do the same with whatever struggle you’re facing because we’re always gonna be facing one and we’re always gonna have the choice to be brave.

Had a scare with my dog recently and it’s a good reminded to everyone to give some extra love to your pets for me. Let them know how special they are <3

School sucks obviously, but I miss when simply knowing someone in science class made them a friend. Didnt need deep complex understand in relationships, just needed people to tell me my ideas for new sandwiches were good. Looking back I considered almost everyone I went to school with a friend even if the sentiment wasn’t shared. Adulthood made casual relationships almosy impossible, near strangers can’t be my friend anymore :(
