Fuck everyone on this rock.
…Okay. Maybe not everyone. But just about.
Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.

Registering for school before December ends.
Interview next week.
I hope everything turns out well!
And I’m looking into Core Tech, but I’m not sure.
I want to get a certificate in drafting.
I just don’t want to burn myself out or shock myself by having too much workload on my hands.
Getting my shit together. Ftw. Yay! :)
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

cissaaa:
“At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we’ve chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.”
A friend told me that I should just address the situation now rather than allowing my feelings and thoughts to linger and float around with no set destination until they expand into a size I can no longer contain. My whole point is that I don’t - I refuse to allow myself to get hurt again. I don’t want to push the issue because I don’t want it to seem like I’m nagging. I don’t like being nagged at, so I don’t like coming off like I’m nagging. And I’m not in a rush. I just don’t like being left out in the dark wondering what words I can use to define whatever this is. I hate uncertainty. It’s the only thing that swallows my brain whole, leaving me out of touch with my surroundings. Out of control. Is this train broken, too? ‘Cause if it’s just me, then maybe it’s not meant to happen. And I can develop a better sense of mutual understanding some place else.
People have to face regrets. Becoming mature means learning to accept what you cannot change, facing unresolved sorrows and learning to love life as it really happens, not as you would have it happen. Angry people need to criticize as an outlet for their anger. That’s why you must reject unkind criticism. Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish. Life isn’t supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn’t supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it’s comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a terrible loss. It’s just another day.

love is a magic comfort food for the weak and uneducated.
