I Might As Well - Tumblr Posts
I wasn't originally going to do this, but now that the year is ending and 12:00 is nearing, I thought why not, and maybe it's something you'd like to hear (I know I would). So here goes:
I know things might be weird and scary and strange and uncertain right now. I know the future seems this huge, giant, incomprehensible mass of everything bad in the world coming your way at super speed, and the only thing you want is to just sleep and never wake up, because unawareness is the most blissful and least scary thing right now. I know it's so scary and it hurts and everything you've ever dreamed of seems unachievable and seems to be fading away.
But it's okay. It is going to be okay. It is going to be fine. You are going to be fine. Things will be better, things will become bright and warm again. You have all the time in the world, nothing is falling from your grasp - your life, your time, your age, these aren't sand slipping away: these are all you, and you are here right now. There is time to do everything you want, time to rest and relax and gather strength and courage and support, and everything you need and want.
(The happy nihilist within me says - and even if you don't, even if you'll die soon, then that's even better: it's just the thing you were wanting, so might as well make your last hours good ones, doing something that you like, something that makes you happy)
I wish the coming days get better, I wish the coming days give you back your strength, I wish the coming days give you peace and joy. I wish you create art, finish art, show your art; and if you can't finish, can't find the strength to create, that is alright too - a single moment of guilt-free happiness is enough, and I wish you find that moment multiple times in the coming days.
The coming days, weeks, months, years will be full of all the ups and downs that adventures have, and you'll get through them, fighting, clawing, panting, tired, exhausted, but you will get through them, just as you're getting through the present.
It's okay. It will be okay. You will be okay.
Life will be good, and you'll smile a lot. Don't believe those who say life is hard - learn from them, if you want, but don't believe that life is hard. It doesn't have to be, and you really don't have to go through it believing that it's hard. It's yours, and I hope you get to make it what you want.
I wish the coming days, coming weeks, coming months are good; I wish the coming year is happy for you. I love you.
