one day you’ll yearn for the person you are now, to tell them, "hey, look, it turned out to be okay" and "i’m so grateful you’ve held on" and "things just worked out somehow". you’ll want to hold their hand and give them the wisdom that the future is actually better, and you know it because you’re living it. but you can’t reach through time like that. the only way to bridge the gap between the you of today and the you who’s doing better, is to hold onto the hope that they exist.

you are so kind. i just discovered your blog and im crying while reading your posts because you radiate a light and hope through your words that inspires me despite everything. i love that you write anecdotally since it feels so much more real and tangible that i could also achieve what you have than a generic positivity post which, while im sure are made with good intentions, always feel so distant. you are a stranger across the world from me yet i feel i am talking to an older sibling from across the kitchen table in my childhood home. i don’t know you and yet my fears and struggles were once yours… and now i have yet another source to look to and say to myself “you can’t give up yet. look. it will not be like this forever. there is proof.”

i hope for every single star in the sky to conspire to give you the brightest future ever and may your path be filled with opportunities abounding. i hope you never waver and that even if you do, your heart fortifies itself with the knowledge that you have so much goodness in you. i hope that one day i can be at least a little like you.

i am actually speechless. i probably typed up and deleted tens of responses to this but none of them seem to capture / convey how i actually feel.

thank you so much for your genuine message and the fact that you sent it even though you didn't have to! thank you for taking the time to read my posts and sit at this metaphorical kitchen table with me. thank you for even opening up enough to receive what i'm saying, because i can have the most beautiful words ready for you, but they wouldn't mean anything if you weren't hearing them.

i hope that with time you will learn to believe in yourself with the exact conviction and faith you believe in me with, and in the meantime i'm always here for you, rooting for you and sharing my random thought pieces in the hopes it will help you forward. whether it's as the sibling at the kitchen table or as a symbol of 'future you' or simply as words on a screen by a stranger across the planet.

whichever one i am, our futures are equally as bright, our paths equally as opportunity-filled, our hearts equally as strengthened by the goodness we both possess. you will be okay as i am okay. i have no doubt about it.

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

#and that goes for every type of growth#backstory of this post:#after I came back after a few months of doing my international internship I felt so much more confident#it was easier making friends and walking up to people#i took more chances#and generally just heard it a lot from those around me who kept telling me how much i’d changed#this was further supported by my first office job that went pretty well#but then came my grad internship. and while i love the work and have met some great people I noticed it was difficult again#there was one office lunch where no one spoke to me at all! it was my first week and I didn’t know what to say#if i should even say anything#we were all sitting at the same table#not one person even glanced my way#it made me doubt myself; i was doing so well before#was that even real? why can’t I just speak up? this is not the way to connect with people#especially in my first week!#but you know what#i was still doing well. i just had to factor in the fact that these were all middle aged people talking about reality shows i didn’t watch#and bikes i knew nothing about#as well as people who knew i was the new intern yet didn’t speak to me at all even though I’d introduced myself to them all individually#and even so#people I couldn’t really talk to about MY interests outside of work either#my point being:#it’s okay to not feel a connection with everyone you meet#it’s okay to fall back into old habits even though you’ve developed new ones#it will never unravel the process you’ve made and the connections you’ve built#you’re doing fine#after this internship I will surround myself with people who reaffirm that belief#growth in the self#self love#positivity

We lost our older dog two weeks ago and my mum and I have been rewatching our comfort show Downton Abbey. I can wholeheartedly recommend it if you haven't seen it already. I'm seconding Yuri on Ice, that's another one for me. The band The Crash always evokes very specific feeling of nostalgia and happiness for me, i love all their songs.

I wish you a winter full of cosy warmth and comfort 💕

I am so very sorry for your loss, I wish you and your mother so much love. Thank you for the recommendations!!

A little selection of my comfort media for u <3 some of these are very obvious/unoriginal, but i wanted to include them anyway

for when:

You need to calm down and maybe look at something beautiful for a bit: Midnight Diner (tv), My Neighbour Totoro, ZOC (comic book)

You need some escapism: Luca, Kiki's delivery service, Anne of Green Gables series

You need to distract yourself with some fun action: Ocean's eleven, Hot Fuzz, Kung fu panda, some Agatha Christie books (my faves are Tommy and Tuppence)

You need a good laugh: Emperor's new groove, New girl, Community, Bill (movie)

You need some hope on this bitch of an earth: the Wayfarers (book series), Yuri on ice (anime), Unicorn store (movie) (i'm pretty sure this one is like. objectively mid but it made me cry all the water in my body so it's going on the list)

And then these don't really fit into just one of the other categories but dude trust me: Leverage (tv), Hunt for the Wilderpeople (movie), Eddie the eagle (movie), Palm Springs (movie), Nous les Leroy (movie), How to train your dragon (movie), Lou! (comic book series), Derry Girls (tv), To Wong Foo thanks for everything, julie newmar (movie)

(sorry this is long. but sometimes you need different types of comfort media for different moods yaknow)

you are an actual angel from heaven. THANK YOU.

#sharing for others!!!#i have to check these all out now i fear#thank you so much <3

i need some pieces of media to delve into to keep sane these upcoming cold seasons. what are your comfort reads/watches? feel free to geek out over your favourites in my asks or replies! i'm open to anything comfy no matter the language, story, tropes or number of seasons/episodes/books. <3

Hello @slfcare!

I have a Pinterest, and I'd love to share your post on the passage of time and the fears that shrink within it ("ten years ago you were scared of such different things..."). I plan to just screenshot it and repost (with ample credits!). Just wanted to ask you first.

I really enjoy your posts, and I'd like to share the hope and positivity it inspires in me to the rest of the world (welp, at least the rest of Pinterest). Would it be okay if I do so?

Hi!! Of course you can! Thank you so much for asking for permission first, as long as I get credits somewhere you may always share or repost my stuff on other platforms. :)

ten years ago you were so scared of such different things, but you survived them anyway. the same goes for five years ago and two years ago. everything that has ever felt like a hurdle, you’ve passed through. so be afraid, identify your fears, and then allow yourself to remember that in just a little while, this will be another thing that you have overcome.

on a personal note, this was about how ten years ago i was scared of weekly gym classes and my upcoming exams, and at the time i wrote this post i was scared of the interviews for my graduation internship, and now i am scared of things like product presentations for the clients at said internship - and while it might sound hopeless to think that those situational fears are going to be replaced by other situational fears, it's all proof that we're moving forward and growing. just like i survived those gym classes, exams and interviews, life is a series of victories that you have to look back on to stay aware of.

you're a victor for being here despite the fears you had back then, just like you're still going to be here tomorrow despite the fears you have today.

your fear of spiders and rollercoasters are valid, but i hope you get the gist of where i was getting at! you've got this! life goes on and it will take you with it!

your face has been carefully constructed, perfectly arranged. the curve of your hips and slope of your lips, the pull of your eyelids, the slightest dip in your back, they’ve been drawn through generations like a single red string to end up with you. in a way you carry the faces of your ancestors, and that alone—the fact that you are you, the fact that you’re what millions of years have brought forward—makes you worthy of life. you don’t have to be or do anything more, you don’t have to earn your breaths or heartbeats. you’re already meant to be.

Hello, was wondering what made you create a good reads ?? /gen

both of my siblings have it and constantly discuss their books and reading challenges in our group chat and I felt left out! but I’ve also not read any books in way too long and needed some motivation, and goodreads’ social aspects / features really help with that
