hey. hey. stop scrolling for a sec.
breathe. you’ve made it so far this year. you’ve gotten through so many things that you thought you wouldn’t, and you’ll continue to get though this, whatever it is. i know you can. i believe in you, and i’m so, so proud of you. i know it probably seems impossible, but it’s going to be ok. it’s going to be ok.
breathe in, breath out. and just keep breathing. we’re gonna get there.
that the people who care about you aren’t, in fact, incrementally & constantly adjusting their opinion of you based on how stupid or cool your last interaction with them was….is something i actively try believing in every single day & when it works it brings my heart great peace
@ ppl in the tags who are afraid to believe this: i get it, i do. but ask yourself if this is something you would ever do to someone YOU care about. if your best friend accidentally spit on your face while they were talking to you, is that something that would make you want to talk to your best friend less? probably….definitely not, right? in fact, even thinking about reacting that way seems indescribably absurd, doesn’t it? the ones who care are VERY MUCH privy to an honest & fundamental core of you, and that kind of knowledge is not easily susceptible to change, ever

How to Help a Friend See they’re Not a Failure
1. Remind them of all the kind and thoughtful things they’ve done for you, and for the other people in their life.
2. Remind them of times when they’ve pushed ahead, and kept on going, even when it was hard.
3. Remind them of the times when things worked out eventually, and their efforts were rewarded, and they reached a personal goal.
4. Remind of the funny things they’ve said and done, and the times when you have laughed, and shared some happy memories.
5. Show them they are worthwhile and are valuable by doing something special that makes them feel they’re loved.
Only feed your mind with positive thoughts, for you are what you eat, both physically and mentally.

Become one with yourself. When your body says something, listen to it. When your mind is burnt out, respect that. We can either work with or against ourselves; you choose which route you’d like to take.

gentle reminder
you are a good friend for listening and looking out for people, please try your best to listen and look out for yourself as well - you deserve it
Please, study.
Fulfill yourself.
Realize your ambitions.
I wish somebody told me that, when I was young, when I had my future in my hands; but nobody did and I failed to follow my dreams. I gave up.
But now it’s up to you. This is your moment. Don’t let it go, it will be gone in a blink of an eye.

High-Res
I feel like the message wasn’t super clear in this drawing, but I wanted to say that you can do what you love, even if it’s not your work (be it job or school). Still find time for your passions and hobbies in life! : ) It doesn’t have to be one or the other. You deserve to have the happiness and fulfillment of doing the things you love in addition to doing whatever you have to do to get by.
