what about thinking about the best that could happen instead ! ✨

an abundant life with flowers and laughter and having enough and new art projects and learning to fish and making a new recipe and taking it easy and being in love and laying in the soft grass and touching lake water and eating salty french fries and sunsets and seeing an old friend for the first time in a while and trying the dessert before serving it and daydreaming and having a good stretch and ice cream sundaes and roadside blackberries and drive in movies and road trips and promises and bird songs

Well put. (Source: Writing About Writing Facebook page)

as a lawyer who’s been practicing for six years now I can say with certainty that this 100% applies to lawyers

This is the best motivation I’ve ever read

i am a firm supporter of changing your name to whatever you want regardless of your gender. if a woman wants to go by matt then matt she shall be. godspeed

happy pride month to chad and ryan, the lil gay cowboy and roman in the night at the museum trilogy, and every man who played volleyball in top gun (1986).

today is great day to create something, to fill the void with a piece of yourself that wasnt there before and to push back against the darkness. you can create a song or painting or sandwich or a walk in the park or even a MOMENT. use this mighty power to defy the cosmic nothing

subtle ways to include foreshadowing

I'd also add:

for the love of god, write all the self-indulgent scenes you want.  be utterly  shameless about including every last fantasy.  i know everyone likes to share quotes and quips about how miserably hard writing is, but please please try thinking of it as a joyful act where you get to be a messy human who makes art rather than some pain filled quest for icy perfection.

“authenticity looks an awful lot like self-indulgence but it is the only way to find your true audience”

I support women in STEM (Scary experiments,Time loops,Existential dilemmas,Madness).

we need more tragique men with a single dangly earring in media not in a 2022 eboy way in a 16th century courtier constantly in danger of being beheaded for treason way

look no further

in hysterics

Reminders I need sometimes:

summer thunderstorms are one of the most romantic things in the world, actually

Its okay if you dont have your whole life together by a certain age. Life is not a script you should follow in order to have everything be perfect (without it containing any changes whatsoever). You still have time to learn, you still have time to love, you still have time to find out, explore and see. Don't be afraid to take your time to achieve your goals and shape your life the way you want it, but also don't forget to stop and enjoy the beauty you might find on the way.
