Reminders

      Lately I’ve been on a roller-coaster of ups and downs and I just can’t get off of it. It’s been super tough and I know I need to get through it and that I can. I need to put me first and keep reminding myself certain things. Things like this:

      A writer for the New York Times interviewed a series of people who had survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Every person she interviewed admitted that about two thirds of the way down, they realized that every seemingly meaningless problem that caused them to jump was fixable. Every single one.

      I can fix my problems and I can make myself and better person and I can be whoever I want to be and I can do whatever I want to and I can love whoever I want to and I can travel wherever I want to. I can.

Song of the Day - Outro by M83

weightless

   Last night my boyfriend and I rode bikes to the beach and it was such a beautiful night. I don’t know why, but the night just makes me feel so calm and so alive and so happy.

  I felt so at peace, which is something I haven’t felt in a long time. There was something about last night that really just made me feel like I’m okay and that I’m alive and that I can get through the rest of the year just fine.

I just have to keep reminding myself of nights like these and this feeling.

  

     Sorry this is more of a diary-type post, but I hope you all go on awesome night adventures and feel as alive as I did!

'close your eyes / you're weightless now / floating safe and you'll be gone

 define of though, keep rising up / he'll raise you to the stars'
