im sorry if im overwhelming. im sorry if im a little too clingy. you are just such a beautiful person in my eyes. i secretly think about you every minute of the day. i look forward to the next time im going to see you, the next time we make eye contact, or even for when your name might show up on my phone. you will probably never know how i feel about you, we probably won’t become anything more so for now i will just enjoy the time we have together until we part.
Let's not have kids and travel. Sounds pretty basic doesn't it?
But instead of birthing a child into a dying world, wouldn't you want to taste Italian pizza from Italy? Learn a foreign language? Meet beautiful people from all cultures? Maybe try bunjee jumping?
Or if you do want to have kids, don't you want to live a little first?
See the world that you have to teach them about. You can't teach something without knowledge.
“When someone constantly puts you down, leaves you feeling like you can’t do anything right, or makes you feel worthless or bad about yourself, that isn’t love. It’s emotional abuse.”

Insecurities
Sounds too much like
Insignificance.
Our society
Makes them seem
Insignificant.
I don't want to be
Insignificant.
My feelings matter to me.
So leave
If you don't want to accept it.

Working on your grind
And hustling
Is fine;
But the blood, sweat and tears,
Putting in the work for years
Headaches and shitty people
Being mistreated as an unequal
Being given hard times
Because of animosity
Towards your life -
Nobody talks about.
But it's alright.
At the end of the day,
this hustle's MINE!
Nobody can take away
The time,
effort and perfection
I slaved into this.

How do you Practice Self Care?
1. Consciously teach yourself to relax, and practice relaxation as soon as you feel stressed.
2. Pay attention to what you eat and drink.
3. A warm shower or bath can help our muscles to relax, and can help ease the tension in our body and mind.
4. Talking with someone who accepts us as we are – and is nonjudgmental – is highly therapeutic.
5. Recognise that there are things that are outside our control – and there are some situations that we simply cannot change.
6. Reward and indulge yourself with things that you enjoy so you feel respected and valued as a person. (For example, buy some clothes you love, or get your hair and nails done)
7. Make an effort to establish and maintain a work/ life balance. You need to make time for your hobbies, and to hang out with your friends.
8. Organise your time, and prioritise your tasks. You’ll feel a lot less anxious if you get things done on time.
9. Recognise that you have limits and enforce your boundaries. If you live with too much pressure you will end up overwhelmed.
