Being Peaceful And Being High Is Not The Same Thing. The Pleasure Derived From Latter Is Temporary, However

I sometimes wonder, why do some people chose to stay in my life, even when I push them.

If you get that gut feeling that something isn’t right about a person or situation, trust it.

Really? That's the excuse I'm going to be thrown? It just hit me that I've been dealing with a covert narcissistic parent. They are an angel outside the house with everyone, so everyone loves them. But there's so much manipulation and toxicity occurring at home, no one would know that. It's gone so far that they have turned my sibling against me. My next post will talk about what happened....

I know I'm not flawless or an angel, because I'm a human, but atleast I own up to it unlike those that say they are blood related.

I am someone who thinks and feels much – more than is reasonable. And that is all.

I mean ,wtf..like I don't even want you to get close to me, but when you get close to someone else I get JELEOUS!!!!!! I mean WTH is wrong with me!!??

For you to see beauty here does not mean there is beauty in me, it means there is beauty rooted so deep within you, you can't help but see it everywhere.

some apps/websites i’ve been using to keep me productive

1. Flow - pomodoro timer for my laptop, super helpful (alternatively just use a study with me video)

2. Notion - v helpful for organization + so pretty!! 

3. Habitica - stopped using this after notion tbh but its still v fun, uses reward & punishment to get your productivity going!! 

4. Google Calendar - OG!!! use it to plan out ur day 

5. Google Drive - if you don’t use google drive how do u even live… its been super helpful w college essays bc my sister can keep giving me feedback w/o making 23672848 different docs. (excuse the image my drive is UGLY & unorganized)

6. Audible - audio! books! are! the! shit!!!!!!! kinda hate supporting amazon but honestly haven’t been able to find any good alternatives. if u know pls share!! (also just a heads up - indistractable is kinda sh*t so far) 

7. Zombie Run - its a fitness app that will give u cues during ur run that zombies are chasing u so you’ve got to sprint. idk how to describe it and i don’t have a photo of it rn (& i technically havent used it yet) but my sister loves it and i plan on trying it out today!

Sometimes you have to lose all you have to find out who you truly are.
