this adrienne rich excerpt, always always
ayem:
no such thing as wasting your 20s your 20s are for recovering from whatever the fuck happened to you as a kid so that youre ready to get weird with it in your 30s
One day I’ll forgive myself for all the years I wasted!!! But today I think I’m going to lay down in my bed and torture myself with it
honestly i’ve stopped caring if media is good. all that matters is that Me, The Most Important Person, is having a good time.
literally going insane. marianne i’m not a religious person but I do sometimes think god made you for me.
Everyday I wake up and go ‘SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME!!!’ and then I go to work
I hope you are learning to be a wonderful best friend to yourself. I hope you stand up for yourself the way you would do for a friend you saw being mistreated. I hope you buy yourself presents and give yourself treats and tell yourself “take care of you” and sit with yourself and listen to yourself when you feel like crying or complaining or breaking down. I hope you hype yourself up when your confidence is low and stay gentle when you must tell yourself you’ve made a mistake. You are the best friend you are ever going to have, and I hope you’re an amazing one to you.
ID: A sketchbook spread with purple stitching between the two pages. The pages are colored with swirls of purple, blue, and black crayon, with stamped text on white paper cut out and pasted on top. The text reads, “a man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river but then he’s still left with the river.” End ID.
