I’m Slowly Learning To Listen To Both My Heart And My Mind
I often joke to myself that I have the thinking of a 40-year-old and obviously the biology of a 24-year-old and this is causing me lots of troubles.

Life’s already hard enough, people are already assholes enough, your mind is puzzling enough, so cut yourself some slack.
I didn’t take care of myself properly. Or even at all. The reality was that I fucked up my dopamine system a long time ago.
You have to make the mistakes, then you can learn the lessons. You have to walk through the pain, then you can find the answers that matter.
People don’t love you for the emotional energy you put in the relationship; they love you for who you are.
Please stop saying sorry for what happened. Please stop apologising for all the clumsy ways you handled pain. Please allow yourself that much.
I know your 20s is a confusing and painful time. You always feel like you could do so much more but you’re just seemingly wasting your time, getting nowhere. It’s okay.
