The best advice I’ve ever gotten from a doctor
Last summer I went to see my doctor about a leg injury. She asked me how I was doing in other parts of my life and I broke down crying, confessing I was suffering from a serious bout of depression and anxiety due to losing my job, losing my grandfather, and general stress in life. She let me cry for a minute then said:
“How far into the future can you see?”
“What?” I said.
“How far into the future are you certain of what is going to happen to you?”
“Umm… I don’t know? A few months maybe?”
“Really? That far?”
“Maybe? I don’t know. A few weeks I guess.”
“Ask me how far into the future I can see.”
“Okay… how far?”
“One breath.”
“One breath?”
“That’s it, one breath. I am only certain for as long as it takes me to breathe in and out once. After that, it’s a mystery. You can make plans for the future, but the truth is that leaving here you could be hit and killed by a bus, or tomorrow you could meet the person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. Nothing is certain. When you’re overwhelmed by anxiety just take one long breath in and out, and do it again. Don’t worry about what’s coming next. Just one breath. Do it now.”
I took one long breath in and out, suprisingly calmer.
“Sometimes doctors have worthwhile advice,” she laughed. I smiled. And I took another breath.
I play this conversation over and over in my head whenever my anxiety takes a hold of me. It helps.
One breath.
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

All sports are gay and I’ve been preaching this forever
fun fact: the media keeps trying to imply that diego costa (white jersey) bit gareth barry (blue jersey) out of some sort of hetero football-rage during the game but barry insists it wasn’t a bite which is apparently a hard concept for the football association to grasp cause they cant think of any other explaination for the above image lmao
That ain’t no bite
I think my favorite part of this gif is the third guy walking by in the background, who judging by his expression is pretty sure he’s just won the league-wide betting pool on when these dudes will finally break down and admit their love.

I feel like I’m not going to feel at home anywhere and I think (for now) that I’m fine with that. And I will probably just float around in hotel rooms with a wine bottle in my hand (white preferably). Airport to airport, cab to cab, broken to fixed.

Destroy the idea that it’s humble to hate yourself. Destroy the idea that loving yourself is conceited.
