“Begin at the beginning,“ the King said, very gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.””— Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
this year, try to:
- avert unhealthy coping mechanisms
- worry less about potential futures
- let your loved ones know just how much you care about them
- get to know yourself better and analyze your own patterns
- challenge yourself in your work, in your art, in your way of treating others
- stop comparing yourself to others instead of your past self
- be proud of yourself always
- have a little bit of faith in the universe
- realize that some things have to happen effortlessly
- realize that some other things do require hard work
- step outside your comfort zone while knowing your limits
- be your best self
there’s literally nothing more fun than being kind????? like? making someone feel loved and appreciated and seeing them smile and hearing them giggle?? sign me the fuck up
“What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.”
on a warm summer evening lets drive to a wide open field, lay down on a soft blanket, listen to the sound of the night and talk about the universe
I’m a sucker for Romantic stuff like summon up nature, melancholic thoughts and supernaturalism.
take chances with people. if you want to get closer to them, make sure they know you want to spend time with them. go to have coffee with them, text them first, make them feel loved, tell them little things that you love about them. most people find it hard to make the first move, both in friendships and romantic relationships, so a lot of potential relationships never happen. life is too short. so go for it, because more often than not it can make life brighter and softer and happier.
My goal this year is to stop chasing after unavailable people, whether it be emotionally, mentally, or physically. I deserve consistency and assurance.
-I’m tired of playing the guessing game.
-m.t.t.
“…I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.”— Daphne du Maurier, “The Lover”

In 2019:
- do more things that make you forget about your phone
- do not compare yourself to other people: trust that you are progressing in your own way
- keep your heart soft, remember that there are genuinely kind people & good things in the world
- finish what you start
- be consistent, and do not be swayed by temporary moods or criticisms from people who don’t matter.
- smile more often
- be okay with being bad at something
- do not blame yourself for people who make you feel unworthy. find new people to talk to and don’t isolate yourself even if you feel awkward or unlovable. don’t convince yourself that you’re better off alone.
- go outside more often and find beauty in small things
- read more books
- be the kindest person you can be
- be so busy you have no time to be bored or dwell on the past
- learn to be patient. don’t rely on instant gratification, wait for the sense of accomplishment after completing a daily goal or achieving a long-term goal
- see bad days as a chance to start again
- always remember that negative thoughts are not the truth. you can do amazing things even though you may feel stupid. you are worthy of love and self care even though you may hate yourself. you deserve kindness and friendship and unconditional love even though you don’t feel that way. people don’t hate you even though you think you’re unlovable. you made mistakes and had bad times but that’s ok - you can always start again.
