I’m actually starting to believe it really is possible to get through hard days. I’ve been through so many now. When I’m in the midst of it, I can recall the previous times I’ve felt this way, thinking it will forever be like that, but then in a week’s time, it usually fades away. So when disappointment strikes, someone speaks to me harshly, I get home from a bad date, I get rejected, I get left out, I feel behind, I don’t know what I’m doing… I’ll notice how uncomfortable I am in that moment, but I always say to myself “it won’t be so bad in a week, give it a week.” And it is in fact always better in a week. 

stuck between “i need to save money” and “you only live once”

A lot of times when we cut contact or limit contact with family, someone will say “life’s too short!”

And I want you to remember that they’re right but not in the way they’re trying to push on you.

Life is too short to push ourselves into situations that make us uncomfortable so that others feel better.

You are not too demanding. You are not creating conflict. You are setting a boundary. You are caring for yourself.

Now that I’m actually thinking about it I really wonder what would happen if I turned my phone off for a month.
