A Cosy Friday With The Softest Cat Cuddles

[051222] I have absolutely no motivation AT ALL…. How am I supposed to do ANYTHING like this !?

I’m back in Ireland now, but I’m still thinking about these moments from France. Taking a nostalgic walk around Jardin Public, sketching in the local greenhouses and sweet treats with my love 💗

Everything in life is temporary and always changing but it’s crazy how we always assume things will be the same forever. This sickness will continue forever. This good health will continue forever. These relationships with people I love will be the same forever. This misery will continue forever. But it’s not true. Anything could be around the corner! Lives can change within seconds, such is this world. This misery will end, so cheer up. These relationships will change so make the most of them now so you don’t regret it too much when they do. You will be okay. You will be fine.

Anyway on a lighter note in the vein of the “let yourself be a beginner” post:

I love it and I wish people would work on the skill of being a beginner

bc it really IS a skill. it’s acquired and honed.

being willing to learn to find humor in the process of learning and your mistakes. learning to tolerate frustration and confusion. learning to pace yourself when you want to rush past discomfort. learning how you like to learn. and should the time come—learning to take take critique and correction.

please please please work on being a beginner you never know what you may fall in love with and who you might meet thru your interests

There are screams inside me that I can't stop. Even though I try to keep my face still, I'm afraid that one day I'll dissolve and disappear. I have to continue to stay calm. Calm down, relax. Don't show your feelings. Just don't.

maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.
