as many very wise people have said comparison is the thief of fucking joy. I mean you hear these things time and time again but the validity of the statement never really reigns true until you are on the other side of it; in the muck, reflecting on all the ways in which you are not where you are "supposed" to be or meandering over the experiences everyone else around you has had. I won't lie to you and say that I fully believe that the derailments we face or the adversities one might endure are necessarily all products of "higher" teachings BUT I do believe that we rob ourselves of so much dignity when we use these hardships as anchors to what the rest of the world is pushing upon you. it is okay to take your time. it is okay to fail and not know how to pick back up the pieces. society SHOULD encourage everyone to move in accordance to their own natural rhythm and not make people conform into these perceived notions of growth. move at your own pace. we are all flailing around trying to figure this shit out. seek fulfillment as you chose. be gentler with yourself. being alive is already hard enough, and you've made it this far... and that pretty fucking incredible to me!

most people in the world now are going at such a fast pace that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with. Instead of also rushing to meet their standards, take your time. not in an asshole way, but make room for yourself to exist. Don’t put more pressure on your mental health ;)

going through some similar motions and this measely tiktok comment unironically did like +1000 healing to my psyche. really, the key is to remember you can only do so much at once. overexerting yourself will make you too tired to consume the fruits of your labor. they will rot and/or you will not enjoy them this way. find happiness in the little, fleeting moments you’re able to foster for yourself and bite off only what you can chew. besides, you want to make sure not to do things in haste. you want a solid foundation for future you and your contentment and don’t want to find any cracks in it later down the line…

I feel like we've been living too long in a fast-paced world that we forget that not everything needs to happen in an instant. Sometimes, we just need to let it be, give it a moment, and if it's something that needs doing, get back into it.

its not you, its absolutely me and i'm sorry about that! my interpersonal skills have taken a PLUMMET from grace and ive become remarkably awkward in the wake of it. but im working on it! so if you see me on here being strange (and or off putting) in regards to how I respond, just know its not coming from a place of ill intent. i'm actively putting in the work to be better at communicating :)
