You’re never too old to learn something new. Never stop studying.

#sam screams #pls i did not dream abt being a lawyer law is for practicality

Studying is hard work, but it's all worth it when you finally get the grades you deserve.

passed my legal clinic component with excellence u guys its tiny but it means a lot

it's just before 12 am and i'm working on an affidavit but i loathe it and my eyes are heavy but if u told me 4 yrs ago i'd still be here and i'd make it this far and didn't get kicked out i'd probably laugh at you so yes i'll keep formatting this silly little legal document this in itself is a privilege

#every day i dislike myself but i keep getting signs that #my work is better than i think it is

some of you need to make your bed and have a shower with a soap that smells nice, and then sit in a chair near the window and have tea with milk and read a hardcover book and see how your creative block is after that tbh.

you have to get yourself out of bad places. you need to resist the temptation to let everything slip and become apathetic & cynical toward yourself and your life. you need to accept that it takes time to change and it’s ok to fall over as long as u get back up. every morning is a new start and things don’t have to be this way forever. you can heal and you can change.

#so you did badly today #and you may do badly again tomorrow #but there are months where you push on the little corners of yourself #in new experiences screaming shivering and raw #and then you wake up again #it's another today #and you are slightly less burdened #you are slightly more alive #honestly this is a reminder 2 myself everything is A DAM CYCLE #and you can always be better <3 #do the best thing you can possibly do for yourself in the moment w the time and energy you have and dont worry about the result #it adds up ! #let urself be happy

hello again i am in my FINAL semester of law school (if youve been here since i was in my second yr of undergrad you know all ive done is fail kick and scream my way through various degrees) . i saw the asks ppl left my askbox and i will get to them -- i'd just like to give well-considered answers. some updates! 1. i took on several extracurricular positions and felt like drowning every second but on the whole they turned out quite well 2. i spent a gorgeous little month in europe (spain and italy) and ill be sharing pictures soonish 3. ..... my therapist said i should look into getting an adhd diagnosis ....... which confirms a lot of suspicions ive had over the yrs if true but yeah. on the whole i've been living well. terror means you're alive and that you're doing something new. i wake up, heart pounding, but somehow the light in the corner of my room looks soft and blurry and hopeful

#sam screams #yall im so old and so tired #ive noticed in ppl i admire workwise that theyre not shy to indicate that #they dont know what theyre doing #and theyre open and empathetic to themselves and to not knowing whats up #theres so much kindness / i hope i have that for myself
