There Are Times When I Do Not Choose Healing. I'm Stubborn. I Choose Self-destruction Instead Hoping

i'm procrastinating on my homework as i'm writing this this

i finished babel last week and only managed to recently finish annotating because i needed time to digest everything that happened in the book 🥲😭❤️‍🩹 . babel’s a masterpiece. i loved the book from the beginning till the end. the diverse characters are amazing, the dark academia setting/atmospheric writing is stunning, and tying all this with the whole plot being focused on the power of language and translation is just exquisite. this is one of the best books i’ve ever read 😭 so many books that i’ve read this hear have been so amazing 🥹✨ what is a book that you’ve recently read and loved? https://www.instagram.com/p/CklBX86vPAd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

journaling while waiting for inside out 2 to start ~ I am having a pretty good golden weekend ✨ I attended PGH orientation for postgrad interns, did laundry and cleaned. did vid call with my mom. my heart is happy.

Tomorrow i have two exams and i need to revise a lot today.

When i get the chance, i try to buy everything pastel pink. Makes me feel more legally blonde rather than burnt out law student.

9/100 days of productivity

8/29

Had a super productive day yesterday, so today things are moving a tad slower

Decided to do this in a break to take my mind off the courses

1/100 days of productivity

Last exam is tomorrow!!!

I've been revising and seeing my old doodles improves my mood every single time!

The results are the sweetest when you've worked for it. Don't. Forget. That

While studying for this class right before exams, every time i felt like i needed a break i would make a tiny drawing.

Now my book is full of this type of lil guys.

I am once again going through this book and thought that I'd share the doodles that kept me sane(debatable) during exam season.

We're all just humans

And to be human means to make mistakes.

And that's perfectly ok.

Learning to embrace making mistakes means learning to love yourself a little bit more (and at the end of the day, that's what really matters)

2/6 exams to go

⭐ 17.06.2024 // I DID IT!! I DID IT GUYS!!! I STUDIED 10 HOURSSSSS!!!!

I'm tired but especially extremely motivated by the fact that I was able to achieve that much. Like, a few years ago I would never have thought that it would be possible for me to do it EVER. It says so much about my recovery journey and it's awesome. Like I'm able for the first time in YEARS to manage studying a lot of hours, doing a minimum of self care, answering people's texts, planning events for later AND be able to function like a human (so not be overly tired by it). It means a lot for me. I still have progress to make in some domains tho, who doesn't, but it's still amazing

(And honestly Tumblr has something to do with it, I met amazing mutuals here and maybe the "do it scared, do it bad, do it tired" helped me in my journey after all ahah)

PS : my cat didn't want to sleep in my room today so I don't have any pictures of her yet :(( (but she killed a mouse today, ig she had other priorities)
