I only ever want the simple and small things. A bowl of fruit. To exist comfortably. To be accepted. To be loved. To eat nice food. To laugh as much as I can.

Self improvement is great but ultimately? you have to accept your self. Yes you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. Some days you won’t have the energy to do any of these things. And you’ll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. That’s a lie. The biggest love for self is to live slowly. To rest. To really rest. Have a nap. Eat what makes you feel good. Read if you want to. Embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not be ever be perfect. Accept that you are good enough. You don’t need to keep busy all the time. you don’t need to go out all the time and post on instagram. You don’t need to journal if you don’t want to. You don’t need to make art if you don’t want to. Breathe, give yourself grace and compassion. Give yourself the love and tenderness you so badly need. Be gentle with yourself. You are trying and it is good enough. You are good enough.

A beautiful poem that illustrates my point

The checkered motel room in The Doom Generation, 1995 dir. Gregg Araki

Most of the items were painted, including the walls, lamps and ashtrays, taking weeks to create the overall look of the room. Every item was checkered, including the towels.

A cute pink crop top that says “I'm hot and Jeffery Epstein Didn't Kill Himself” would make me happy

And not really in a “Lol 🤪” way but in a “Rich politicians, billionaires, and assholes with a little bit too much money benefited from Epstein and sex trafficking for years and they're trying to cover their tracks” way.
