loving yourself...
... doesn't just mean accepting yourself as you are.
it's more about accepting and loving who you are right now, while also caring about yourself enough to see if you can make things better for yourself.
self love is a journey, not a destination. keep going and keep loving yourself ✨

It’s not your responsibility to be a version of yourself that you don’t resonate with anymore, just because people are more comfortable with who you used to be. You don’t have to take steps back in your growth or relive what you’ve outgrown just to keep certain people satisfied.

Random story:
I used to date a guy (hi if you’re reading this btw) who sometimes would buy those comics you see at the comic store that are like “alice in wonderland but she has ridiculous tits and ass and it’s got writing in it but it’s mainly an excuse to look at some drawings of tits and ass”. If you know, you know.
I never had a problem with that exactly cuz like, we were dating but i believe people should be able to get their titillation from more than one place and like, he wasn’t gonna dump me for these drawings. It was not the kinda thing i would read but i wouldn’t judge him or anyone for reading them.
That being said tho it did make me feel slightly insecure. And while we were dating i could never figure out why it made me feel like that.
Well, sitting here now i tried again to figure it out. And i immediately thought to myself “well you were insecure cuz the women in those books were REAL wom—“. 😳
That stopped me dead in my tracks.
“Real women”?? They’re made of fucking paper!! A horny guy fucking *drew* them!! Never mind the fact that they had completely unrealistic proportions, they were FUCKING FICTIONAL!!!
So, i sat there for a couple minutes and just let that sink in. I considered these sex drawings “real” women, and myself a “fake” woman. Keep in mind: this was a thought i was having today, not five years ago.
Basically, i’ve got quite the fraud complex going on inside my skull, and i would *really* like to start working on that. I don’t know how, but i think at least realizing how absurd it can get and pointing it out is a step in the right direction.
I’m a girl. I’m a pretty girl. I make my money by being a pretty girl. And STILL i have these thoughts. Of course, sometimes i see myself for what i am and feel gorgeous, but waaaay too often i find myself thinking things like “the people that reach out and call me breathtaking are just being nice” or “the people who sub to my OF are just kind, charitable souls and don’t find me attractive at all”, which are patently ridiculous things to think.
So, i guess what i’m trying to say is: your brain will go to ridiculous lengths to make you feel unsure, insecure and fraudulent. I can’t really help with that exactly but what i can do is remind everyone that they should question those thoughts and examine them. Because chances are that you are valid and these negative thoughts you’re having are actually stupid as fuck.

I have retaught myself basic calculus 6 times already and I keep forgetting. How do you make it stick?
The way you remember things in math is to keep using them. Math is like any other skill: it's use it or lose it. If you finish calculus and then never take another STEM class that requires it, are you going to remember much of it? Unfortunately, probably not.
The inverse is true, however. If you take calculus and then take another class that uses it heavily, you're going to get a lot better at calculus (even if you didn't do that well the first go around).
Most students who come in to integral calculus generally are just okay at finding derivatives. Students leaving integral calculus are generally just okay at finding integrals, but they are a lot better at finding derivatives.
There is exactly one way to get better at math: by doing a bunch of math.

some people need to study too often to remember their lessons and write exams. while some others can easily study their syllabus at the last moment and give their exams. some don't take notes, some do. some cannot read their material easily and need help. some can read and analyse a text on their own. there are still infinite number of possibilities when it comes to academia. it's how you choose what's the best for yourself. only you can find out what works for you. not the student next to you or the studyblr you follow.

Dunia ini begitu tidak terduga. Ada yang menangis di atas kendaraan, ada yang menangis di selasar rumah ibadah, ada yang menangis saat di malam tahun baru, dan juga ada yang menangis di sudut jeruji.
Tidak ada yang benar-benar kuat. Kita hanya tidak pernah tahu kapan dan di mana seseorang menjatuhkan air matanya. Toh air mata juga bisa menguatkan kan?

I knew I had to grow, I knew I had to heal. But now and then I’ll still see glimpses of the person I used to be and I miss her sometimes.

you are here...
...to live your life, first and foremost.
it's not selfish if you think of yourself first. a happy version of you can be of more help to others than a discontent one.
making yourself feel heard and understood is the first step to spreading joy ✨

Sometimes we need to experience something uncomfortable to understand what we really need and deserve.

A soft purple glow in my apartment as I put up the fairy lights I borrowed from my sister on a Friday afternoon. Watching a podcast on history that is omitted from our school textbooks and forgetting to respond to Instagram dms for two hours. Is that the freedom we have to fight for now?
It sounds very first world and it sounds very lame, disrespectful even to those who sacrificed their lives so that we could have basic human rights. But now we do. We have these rights. There is gratitude in my heart and I get goosebumps when I hear about the graphic details of their torture. And I'll pay pilgrimage when I visit certain sites with a lot more context and knowledge from now on.
But the freedom I have to fight for today, not for the country or for the larger society but for myself, is the freedom for my time and mind. From being subconsciously dictated by social media algorithms and capitalistic marketing strategies and gaslighted by people who don't even like themselves.
Freedom from screens and lack of sleep and self depreciating jokes that slowly but surely shave off any sense of clarity and sense of self I had managed to build in adolescence. Freedom from the shackles of situationships and the belief that love is something to be rationed and batered and negotiated and adulterated. Freedom from intergenerational trauma and deep rooted misprojections and betting against my own well being.
The fight, the revolution now, isn't against anyone but myself. Myself in an environment, in a world, at a time that is not conducive to my sanity and stability and sensibilities in the least. Who are my allies? What kind of violence am I okay with adopting to meet this end? What are my guiding principles? What must I absolutely steer clear of? I do not know. Let's start there.
I do not know. It's been a while since I felt like I know all there is to know about me and how I am as a person and how I would react in a given situation. But that has to be scrapped now. It's not like you know all about today just because you lived yesterday, right?
Never thought I'd pick a Charles Bukowski poetry collection or sleep with the person I did or hang purple fairy lights in my apartment or visit the city I just did or say no to alcohol or attend a music show of an artist I don't even know or decide to change my depth of expression. But here I am.
So, no. I do not know. I will have to figure it out. All over again. And then once more. And then another time. And then and then and then. As long as I am alive. As long as I am.

People don’t abandon people they care about. They abandon people they were using. Big difference and a hard one to swallow for many..
