• You don’t have to achieve great things by the time you’re 25
• You have intrinsic value above and beyond your perceived utility to other people and society at large. 
• You don’t have to have sex, or have sex in any way that you find uncomfortable or unpleasant, to keep anyone’s love or good opinion of you. They didn’t love you or think very well of you to start with if they demand it. 
• You don’t have to stay with someone who isn’t meeting your emotional or sexual needs because they need you, or you’ve been with them for awhile, or you need to be in a relationship. You need you. Your time is your own and it is finite. 
• It’s ok to work at a job you enjoy that doesn’t make you miserable even if it’s not a career and it won’t “lead to anything.“ 
• Your life is not a narrative. It is not leading to anything, there is no overarching thesis, it does not have themes beyond the usual shared cultural experiences of your time and place. This is ok. It does not mean that your life is without purpose or meaning. 
• It’s ok not to like or get along with the vast majority of people you encounter, so long as you afford them the same respect, courtesy and dignity that they afford you. 
• Expensive is not always better. 
• Failure is temporary if you’re still alive. 
• People are both much better and much worse than you’d suspect, but usually not all at once. 
• Stop thinking of your future self as a different person and it will be easier to prevent money and health problems. 
• Let people help you, lean on them when you need to, and be available to help, but don’t swing too far in either direction. Try to carry your half of the life basket as evenly as you can. 
• Set boundaries, and do not be afraid to kick people out of your life who disregard them. You will not end up alone and unloved. People who love you will be ok with your boundaries. 
• Your power does not come from money or beauty, but from seeing life steadily and wholly, from a curious and thoughtful mind, and from your ability to say no when you want to, and yes when you want to, and I don’t know when you don’t know. 
• There will be bad times, maybe lots of bad times, but not only bad times. 
• Love will not heal the wounds in your soul, but love can give you the impetus to begin the work of healing yourself. 
• Life might be a long series of starting over, and that’s alright. 
• You’re really cool, you’re really beautiful, you’re really special. Really. Not to everyone, but to a lot of someones sometimes. 

playlists full of songs everyone can enjoy??

check out all my spotify playlists here

songs about someone you think about time to time even though they’re not in your life anymore 

hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

songs about cheating.

songs where you love someone but they’re dating someone else

songs about the person you never really get over, you just can’t love anyone else except for them. not really

first love hurts the most. here’s a playlist about it.

you want the other person to tell you that they love you for whatever reason

songs that make me feel like i’m having an out of body experience

basically the person you hope it works out with

i hate you, don’t leave me.

this is how much i loved you

you shared something strong with someone and its’s hard to hold on but it’s hard to forget. you both feel it.

you keep coming back and i keep letting you, you only come back to break my heart then leave again.

do you remember how much we loved each other? how i trusted you more than anyone? we told each other everything.

songs that /probably/ made our parents emo

and my heart’s too weak to think about the way you used to say “i miss you”…..i miss you

because you can’t read any of our old conversations but i read them so often, it’s like we still talk

there are some people you’ll never see again. at least, not in the same way.

every night i almost call you just to say it will always be you

you once loved someone so hard that it feels like you can never give yourself to anyone else just as close to what you did with that person

i was born to kill myself

a playlist dedicated to someone i shouldn’t of made

it’s not that we’re scared, it’s just  that it’s delicate

“As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen”  - Winnie the Pooh
