I remember being about 3 years old. I’d wake up each morning just as the sun began to break over the horizon. I’d get up on my knees to peer through the window above my bed waiting for that first light.

Get a journal and clear your head of all the dumb stuff that swirls around in it. Walk around a park with no headphones on just listening to the silence seeing what seeps in between the gaps, buy a matcha latte so green it looks like something from an alien planet. Look after yourself as if you were your partner. Make your bed so it’s nice when you get in from a night out. Buy yourself a pastry from the shop. Remember, no one knows what you want better than yourself.

Keywords: {0}

Pissed that I keep getting rejected, pissed that I didn’t do any internships, pissed that my family is looking at me to already get my shit together and pissed at myself mainly. Who the fuck told me it was a good idea to purse a career in a state college that barely has connections or useful resources to the career that I am pursuing. Why I didn’t I become a social worker or a nurse or fucking lawyer!

Keywords: personal

No way is wrong but I will be exploring the way to get the confidence to like myself because I think having confidence would benefit me in the long run.
