@everyothertiktokpoet: this advice could be for any teenager really, but i see a lot of people who watch my videos are young and it makes me sad because i used to be just like you. being eighteen didn’t magically fix any of my problems, but with age comes perspective and you are able to see things with a lot more nuance and clarity as you get older. i consciously didn’t include any of the camhs type advice of ‘take a hot bath when you feel sad’ or ‘go on a walk’ because while those things definitely can help ease temporary feelings, most growth comes from doing long term work on yourself. i hope none of what i’ve said comes off as preachy or out of touch, because like i said i’ve been through all this stuff myself. i still find life difficult, but i try to give myself grace where i can because what else can you do? progress isn’t linear and it’s not like any of what i’ve said will instantly change your life. but the second you start working on actively not hurting yourself with your choices, i promise life starts to feel a lot warmer towards you. i also know 2 years isn’t a very long time but the last 2 years have been difficult for me in a lot of ways. coming to peace with the way adult men exploited me when i was younger, being sa’d, losing friends and relapsing into my ed have all been hard things to work through. not saying i’m fully recovered, nor that my life is perfect. but the thing is, no one is perfect. we can only hope to try and improve the situations we are currently facing, and hope for the best. all my love to anyone who reads my work or relates to any of this, and if you ever need advice or someone to talk to my dms are open for you. #girlhood #adviceforgirls #MentalHealth #teenagers #growingup

I'm fifteen, i have a bit of a habit of procrastinating, when i start new things, i would stop what i started within a week and stop doing it completely. Like how i do writing and drawing, i like these two hobbies, they're my favorites, it keeps my mind off unnecessary things and i could actually focus on myself for once, but when i get the slightest boredom toward it, i stop, and it would be very hard for me to start again. i keep telling myself I'll do it soon, but soon never came, later came, then never. i wish i could erase this habit, i could've been a much more talented person than i am right now. how do i reject procrastination?

this is so kind, I hope god blesses u forever queen 🙈💗

dreemurr :

I wonder if not experiencing many social situations as a teen will have much impact on my life. Maybe it'll get better in college?
