literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

How To Develop Self Respect ✨
- Understand your strengths, weaknesses, what you believe, and what you want. This is like the starting point for respecting yourself.
- Decide how you want others to treat you. Say “no” when you need to and think about what’s best for you.
- Stop saying bad things about yourself. Say nice things instead, just like you would to a friend.
- Eat healthy food, sleep well, and do things that make you happy and relaxed.
- Set things you want to do and finish. When you do them, you’ll feel really good about yourself.
- When you mess up, don’t be too hard on yourself. Think about what you can learn and do better next time.
- Be with people who make you feel good and avoid people who make you feel bad.
- Say what you want or how you feel in a strong but nice way.
- If you do something wrong, don’t be mad at yourself forever. Everybody makes mistakes.
- Sometimes, think about the things you do and why you do them. This helps you stay true to yourself.
- When you do something good, even if it’s small, give yourself a pat on the back.
- Think about the good things in your life. This can make you feel happier and better about yourself.
Know that you can start late, look different, be uncertain and still succeed.

noo don’t cry about july ending and the time passing, just remember the july poem :)
““Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.” - C.S. Lewis”—
You’re not a kid anymore. You have the right to choose your own life. You can start again. If you want a cat, all you have to do is choose a life in which you can have a cat. It’s simple. It’s your right.
Haruki Murakami
““You can have anything,” she said, “once you admit you deserve it.””— Meredith Russo, If I Was Your Girl
