There are times when I do not choose healing. I'm stubborn. I choose self-destruction instead hoping that I will learn what it's like to have wounds again. And I learn and learn and learn again

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

💕 14.06.2024 // I studied a bit less today but I only had 6h of sleep so I think I can stop earlier and go to bed to rest a bit ahah

Tomorrow I want to study a lot more than today, and I hope I will be able to hit 9/10 hours of studying!!

Giving presentations to high schools on Girls State today and decided to do homework in between. The grind never stops

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.

Summer desk setup. Starting to study for the August MPRE.

This is so important and always a great reminder!

Information is worth almost nothing if you're not in the (physical or mental) state to use it.

To answer qotd: im struggling with giving up on the "bright kid" mentality. Learning and understanding new things require time and energy and active and constant studying. I'm aware of that. But i sometimes still feel frustrated and stressed out when I don't instantly know or understand a concept.

It's been a process getting better and letting go of the way things used to be, but it now means that i am always excited to learn new things and it feels so rewarding to know stuff because i worked hard for it!

Self-love, right now, is taking up a large portion of my brain. I don’t have a ton to say about it, but I know that over the years spent on academia pulling all-nighters and placing so much emphasis on blame I’ve learned that having mercy for yourself is so important. I’ve had great mentors and teachers that have taught me that flexibility and balance is so much more important than a 4.0 GPA. So, moving forward since I last spoke to you guys all those years ago, I’ve put in a serious effort to not run myself down. And, I’m proud of being able to see the world as a place to enjoy as well as a place to progress slowly and efficiently towards my goals. I’ve been taking more time off to spend with friends, to connect with new people, to do yoga and singing and reading, all while balancing school and my career goals. It’s been a difficult task, but I’m glad I’m taking it on. Here’s a picture of me halfway through my choir session, learning Laura Jēkasbone’s “Jumalo” 🎵. Always show yourself mercy!

QOTD: what is something you often stress about, when you know you shouldn’t?
