swapping my craving for brownies with ice cream with the feeling you get after you've done a good amount of practice questions in a designated time period

normalize having favorites. in fact, normalize me being your favorite. normalize loving me more than you’ve ever loved anyone else. please please please please please please

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.

I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye

it's kind of iconic of me to have an alex dunphy photo as my pfp here ngl

idk whats going on here but if it involves me eating hair then sure

Yaarr I want to go bald.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

okay this is is actually so iconic of you; can't wait to see the final product <3
