summer reminders and notes to self

study. you want to learn and you’ll do fine if you really want it
read and write everyday. it will keep you sane
call your parents. they love you and you love them and maybe one day you’ll learn how to take it and show it
do not look for someone to fill your heart. it will never be filled until you line it with self-respect
get a job. be busy and productive
go to the beach and chase the waves. remember how alive you felt the last time you went in until the water was up to your chest? submerge your head underwater next time
have fun cooking. pasta, fruit, and salad for days, with experiments here and there
take pictures. it makes you more appreciative
walk into a new room or restaurant and absorb everything. have a keen eye for detail
paint. acrylic is your friend that cannot speak but listens ever so intently
go on night walks. it’ll help you breathe a bit easier and every now and then you’ll see a star or two. your favorite
when you wake up and everything is wrong, know that the next day may be different
accept that oftentimes you’ll wake up and it’ll feel wrong
accept that someday you’ll wake up and it’ll feel so right
everything is fine
you will be fine
