there is nothing wrong with being mediocre. there is nothing wrong with not being the best at everything you do. there is no guilt in doing the bare minimum because you have no energy to do more than that. “living your life to the fullest” can mean different things for you at different times in your life. sometimes, it is achieving your goals and fulfilling your purpose, and sometimes, it is allowing yourself to rest and just get through it.
you deserve the space to simply be. to exist, to witness, to breathe, and to find peace.
“Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friends.”
— Albert Camus

Reminder for anyone suffering from any illness, physical or mental: you did not choose this. Yet, you are doing your best to manage it. You are dealing with it every single day and only you know what is like to feel the way you do. So don't let anyone invalidate your pain, call you lazy, dramatic, attention-seeking, weak. You are none of those things. You are strong and brave for coping with your illness, for trying to get better, for surviving it. Even on days when you only manage to make it through, you have faced so much, you have been so brave. No one can take that strength away from you. Remember that you are stronger than this illness.
my anons are on for a reason. go confess your undying love for me.

“I’ve wasted a lot of time in my life. I’ve thought too much about what people will say or what they’re gonna think. And sometimes it’s over silly things like going to the grocery store or going to the post office. But there have been times when I really stopped myself from doing something special. All because I was scared someone might look at me and decide I wasn’t good enough. But you don’t have to bother with that nonsense. I wasted all that time so you don’t have to.”
— Julie Murphy, Dumplin'
Adam has a terrible sense of direction. He gets his left and right mixed up if he’s not paying attention and it irritates the HELL out of him
Gansey HAS to write everything down. He can’t remember it other wise. Monmouth is filled with post its, some are duplicates. His school notes are practically the lecture word for word
Blue has a bad habit of standing on her toes when she orders food. It’s built from when she was too short to see over the counter and she can’t shake it (i get so say this bc i do this and i’m 5 feet tall)
Ronan flips over his cups when he puts them in the sink. His mom used to make him do it because he was really bad about putting half full glasses in the sink and milk would spoil
Declan uses an exfoliant on his hands after someone mentioned his pencil callous after a handshake.
Henry is the kind of person to use half a bottle of ketchup, forget he has ketchup, and buy more at the store. There are three open bottles in the fridge.
Noah is terrified of almost all bugs. It’s the only thing he and Ronan really argue about; to kill or not to kill.
Adam drums his fingers when he thinks
Ronan is a foot tapper. An against the metal leg of a desk foot tapper. It’s the no. 1 reason teacher don’t like him, despite his general Ronan-ness
Gansey can’t keep a cactus alive. He has not idea why. Logically, they are the easiest plant to care for, but he keeps killing them. ronan says it’s a metaphor
noah chronically loses pen caps. it’s the closest gansey has ever come to pure rage towards him
henry is unreasonably good with photoshop. he uses it for both good and evil
Encanto is a lovely movie! And there’s so much great fanart of the characters interacting, so here’s one from me: Luisa and her dad bonding over piano music!
