Y'all just hit reblog when you see "gay" and "bread"

responded to someone in the class debate on zoom today with "freud would love you" and she disconnected the call

I just think you should sing no matter what you sound like and draw or paint no matter what it looks like

Body language is completely unique to every single individual person and the science of body language is almost if not completely unreliable and if I have to listen to one more person claim they can “read” me by my body language I’m gonna flip.

MULTIPLE people in my life have told me they can “tell” I’m “self conscious” because I look at my feet when I walk and they say it like they want me to open up about some social insecurities, like I have some wall they’re about to break down and we’ll have a moment

And I tell them the same truth every single time:

As a kid we had two MASSIVE Holly trees in the backyard and my dad and my uncle, both well meaning but perhaps poor planners, said “yes a great place for a swing set is directly beneath those.”

So they built it there and the issue is that entire section of yard was a Minefield of dried Holly leaves with one final mission before they became dirt which was to Stab themselves into a child’s foot

And being that my siblings and I had some feral rage aversion to wearing shoes, we took to running to the swings on our tiptoes, staring at the ground for the leaves

And to this DAY I still look at the ground when I walk out of habit formed by a decade of that

And NO body language guide and NO BBC Sherlock wannabe would EVER source that

Early Riser

Wake up early. Not because “the early bird catches the worm.” Not to force yourself to be more productive. Not to “rise and grind” your life away.

Do it for entirely the opposite reasons. 

Give yourself a chance to slow down before the hurriedness of the day envelopes your thoughts and your body. Do the thing that relaxes you. Do the thing you love that you never have time to do. Allow yourself to be still and intentionally prepare for the day ahead. 

Wake up early to find your magic, and use it to forge through your day.
