TIME CAPSULE IN REVERSE
If I could meet my younger self, I would have a lot to say. Not because I have so many regrets and resentments, but because there is just so much to tell.
 1.     DO NOT KEEP YOURSELF IN A BOX, THE WORLD IS VAST AND BEAUTIFUL.
It is only waiting for you to discover it.
2.     DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TRY.
I believe you have so much potential, do not let it fade away in time just because you are afraid to try something new.
3.     NURTURE YOUR IMAGINATION.
Your thoughts are your own, and they are lovely. Your ideas can run wild and big; couple it with passion and you will go a long way. Keep it in a bubble, and all you will have is a box full of wasted dreams.
4.     BE BOLD AND ADVENTUROUS. 
Your soul is on fire, but you keep it only to yourself and your loved ones. Show the world your undying curiosity and learn from every daring thing you experience -- may it be on foot, through words, through your pen, or tongue, or places you go, books you read, the food you eat, and music you listen to.
5.     BE ASSERTIVE.
Stand up for yourself and your opinions. Being passive is not always the healthiest option.
6.     DO NOT WORRY TOO MUCH!
So many things in this world can go wrong, and that's the way life is.
7.     DO NOT TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR EVERYTHING.
Not everything needs to get fixed. See things as it is, not as it should be. Nobody can carry the world on their shoulders -- Atlas was a myth, this is the real world.
8.     YOU ARE PATIENT, KEEP THAT UP.
BUT --- In some ways you are also the opposite, so learn to wait. Always. Time is gold, but not everything will always run at your pace.
9.     LEARN TO LISTEN.
By that, I mean PAUSE. Breathe. Release. Let others speak, and just be there. Some people do not need your reply, some people just need a moment. Hear them out.
10. NEVER LET ANYBODY MAKE YOU FEEL SMALL.
11. IN EVERY SITUATION, TRY TO BE THE BETTER PERSON.
12. BUT, ALSO, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SPEAK YOUR MIND.
13. AND IF THINGS BECOME TOO HARD TO HANDLE, REACH OUT.
Do not take it out on yourself.
14. READ MORE. You will love it .
15. BE MORE OPEN TO NEW AND UNFAMILIAR THINGS. 
Listen to music you've never listened to or the ones you used to hate. Talk to people you are intimidated by. Appreciate the shades and hues in the colors you feel sick looking at. Try to learn to love garlic. And onions. And tomatoes.
16. BY THE AGE OF 28, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GINGER ROOT WILL CHANGE.
You will cook almost everything with ginger, drink ginger more often, even crave for ginger candy on some days.
17. YOU WILL MAKE MISTAKES. SOMETIMES IT IS OKAY, SOMETIMES IT IS NOT.
Own up to it. Apologize and redeem yourself. Make a better person of yourself out of it. Do not let other people tell you you're not a good individual because of these mishaps. DO NOT REPEAT. Ever.
18. BE AROUND PEOPLE WHO WILL CHALLENGE YOU, QUESTION YOUR PERSPECTIVES, AND AT THE SAME TIME, RESPECT YOUR CHOICES.
19. YOU'VE CHOSEN THE RIGHT FRIENDS. They may be few, but they are worth keeping.
20. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SAY NO.
1.       You've gotten in trouble just by being afraid to offend other people with that one powerful word.
21. SOMETIMES, IT IS NOT GOOD TO BE TOO NICE.
Especially if you are taken advantage of. Do not be too naïve.
22. ALWAYS BE KIND.
No matter what other people say, just always be kind. Even when you have to say no, still be kind.
23. DO NOT JUDGE TOO QUICKLY (BUT DO NOT BE GULLIBLE).
There is always something more to every person.
24. DRINK LESS COCA COLA.
As your future self, I tell you, when you reach 29, you'd have stopped drinking pop. But do not wait that long.
25. BE MORE ACTIVE! You will realize too late that health is important.
26. DO NOT BE TOO INSECURE WITH YOUR BODY. 
Accept your body for how it looks, take care of it, take pride in your flaws. Other people's standards are irrelevant if you know your worth.
27. YOUR VOICE MAY NOT BE GOOD, BUT KEEP SINGING TO YOURSELF ANYWAY. It always makes you feel good!
28. ALWAYS CREATE NEW THINGS. 
From the branches you pick up, to the fabric of your worn-out shirt. You can always make something beautiful out of nothing, just trust yourself.
29. BE MORE INQUISITIVE. It will broaden your world.
30. DO NOT WAIT FOR YEARS BEFORE GOING TO A DERMATOLOGIST. DO IT NOW. You better damn well do it ASAP. You'll thank me.
31. LOVE YOURSELF. Fully. Sincerely.
 I am betting that halfway through this list, my teenage self will roll my eyes at me. Or take it in. WHO KNOWS.

i feel the same megs!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I miss being away from everything
Away from the dissonance of the city
Away from obligatory small talks
Away from people’s bullshit I miss spontaneity
The thrills of booking flights to nowhere
Or taking up random classes 
Or dining at unknown places
Dye my hair with a bold hue
Get my nth tattoo
And whatnots I miss being afloat in my own musings
Daydreaming the hours away
Space out..
Spend just enough time to diffuse Just because

DO YOU LOVE HIM? DO YOU LOVE HER?
Tumblr media
Do you love him?
Maybe you never really loved him. Maybe you just loved your idea of him.
You paint dreamy images of him in your head.
He opens doors for you, picks up the tabs for you, drives by your place with pizza and beer, and actually make concrete plans with you. 
Say, saving and preparing for the future?
While he can easily say yes to pointless and impractical social activities, he thinks about the chance to prove himself to you AND to the people who matter to you.
And you return to your senses only to realize that it’s all just in your head.
But he swears he loves you.
In real life, he’s out somewhere filling his emptiness with superficial things; hook-ups, impulsive splurging on things he doesn’t need, slacking on purpose but justifying it as art, run basic errands and call it maturity.
But he swears he loves you.
You deny it. You shut him out.
And now it’s haunting you…
You liked the letters, you liked the long walks, you liked how he tasted, and you loved the attention – every ounce of it.
It continues to haunt you…
In couple photos you see in your feed, in engagement announcements, in recurring dreams, in songs you hear, and in the films that you watch.
You hate him. You hate yourself for hating him.
But he swears he loves you.
Do you love her?
Maybe you never really loved her. Maybe you just loved your idea of her.
You paint dreamy images of her in your head.
She makes you feel invincible. There’s always magic under the sheets, at the back of your car, in the movies, by the beach.
She is at your disposal and mercy.
While she can easily win any argument with you, she takes on matters using both heart and reason.
And you return to your senses only to realize that it’s all just in your head.
She doesn’t love you anymore.
In real life, she is out there chasing after her dreams. She’s got no time to play your trophy lover. In between days however, she would wonder in secret what it would like to have you around.
But she swears she doesn’t love you anymore.
So she denies your existence. She shuts you out.
You become lonely.
You liked the letters, you liked the long walks, you liked how she tasted, and you loved the attention – every ounce of it.
You become lonelier.
She left you a void in the chest so you fill it up to the brim with intangible things. But they’re intangible so it’s pointless. The void isn’t going away.
You’re confused whether you want her back or you’re just lonely.
In her downtime, she writes about love. She sings about it. She daydreams about it. She makes subtle references about you.  
But she swears she doesn’t love you anymore.

Ditched the library for this happy place. I’ve been eyeing that tree for a few minutes until somebody else had a the same idea and beat me.

I only have a few good friends, and I'd like to keep it that way. These two are rad.
