i love vibing with other girls who are non judgemental and just are nice
someone: quit bouncing your leg
me: hesitates but continues to lowkey bounce my leg
I used to think I was being too picky but fuck that. I deserve someone who wants to know about me. It may sound silly but I don’t wanna be out here fucking with people who never ask my favorite color or if I ate today. I deserve someone who wants to hear my dreams just as much as I want to hear theirs. I deserve the same energy and effort I release. Fuck that.
me: *is consistently unsure*
20 Things in 20 Years
1. Academics aren’t the most important thing. Yes, learning and school are important, but don’t let them become more important than your health, your family, or your friends.
2. Take less photos and experience more. If your focus is behind the camera lens you miss what is actually going on around you.
3. Your parents are almost always right– save yourself the argument.
4. Make a point to catch some sunrises, sunsets, and starry skies. Nature is amazing; get outside as much as you can.
5. You’ll be amazed at what you can get accomplished and how great you will feel about yourself if you wake up early, but also don’t be ashamed of sleeping in.
6. Stop waiting. Stop waiting for the weekend, for summer, to turn a certain age. Do what you can now.
7. Bad day? Animals understand. Music is your release. Laughter really is the best medicine.
8. Wherever you are be all there.
9. Stop saying maybe when you want to say no. If someone asks you to do something you don’t want to, don’t be afraid to say no.
10. Never underestimate the power of a kind and gentle spirit. Don’t let the world change you, don’t let people shame you for who you are, but also don’t be so “kind” that you let people walk over you.
11. If your beliefs are never challenged your faith will never grow. Spiritual low points and doubts can be the start of growth, depth, and renewal.
12. Don’t be ashamed of where you’re from.
13. Grandparents are your lifeline. Love and cherish them.
14. Prayer is important. So is verse memorization.
15. Being picky is okay.
16. Do not rely on others for happiness or to “complete” you. You have to be whole on your own. Also, learn to differentiate between liking the attention someone gives you and actually liking them.
17. Know who your real friends are. They’re the ones you can go to any time for anything. The ones who you can go without seeing for weeks or months and still pick up where you left off. The ones you feel you can be yourself around. These will be very few. And if you end up becoming friends with your roommate, you’re very lucky. (Treasure good roommates, really though.)
18. Know your limits but push them.
19. Write. Everything. Your feelings, your thoughts, events… your class notes and due dates ;).
20. Don’t be so caught up in yourself that you forget others are struggling too. Small acts of kindness are wonderful. Always check on your friends and family.
" — me (via yourlovesetmefree)who you are in high school is not who you will be in college and who you are in college is not who you will be when you are 30.
when you accept that you are malleable and ever-changing, you will be less resistant to new ways of thinking and being and you will grow into the beautiful person you are meant to become.
resist the urge to remain stagnant. there are always things to learn about the world and yourself. let yourself learn them.
