When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privelege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
— Marcus Aurelius (via thelittlephilosopher)
Things I should do on my day off:

LONGEST POSSIBLE WAY TO ARTICULATE THAT I REALLY NEED TO DO HOMEWORK WHOOPS

Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their own unique journey. A path that’s right for someone else won’t necessarily be a path that’s right for you. And that’s okay. Your journey isn’t right or wrong, or good or bad. It’s just different. Your life isn’t meant to look like anyone else’s because you aren’t like anyone else. You’re a person all your own with a unique set of goals, obstacles, dreams, and needs. So stop comparing, and start living. You may not have ended up where you intended to go. But trust, for once, that you have ended up where you needed to be. Trust that you are in the right place at the right time. Trust that your life is enough. Trust that you are enough.

I feel unwelcome at work. Skippers are so clique-y. I’m not asking them to drop everything and make me their new best friend, but if we’re working together, some smiles and a “how are you doing” isn’t asking for much. Already people whine about me because anything that upsets me is apparently nothing compared to what they’ve been through. It’s as if they’ve forgotten what it was like to be new to JC.
Congratulations, skips, you’ve belittled me.
