I Will Live

I will live

I will love

I will find joy in the little things

I am not here to suffer, and I refuse to do so any longer. No matter what.

-despite everything, there is still love

If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn't get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)

I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can't make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).

Today’s small joys:

Face masks and homemade milk bath with my fiancé

Reminder...

You are allowed to be proud of yourself for doing small things. Like getting out of bed that morning, or eating three meals a day. Your achievements are amazing and you should be proud of yourself no matter how big/small they are.

my 5 year plan is to get back my joy
