Fear and Fridays - a poem by Zach Bryan
I have taken my motor bike down the Pacific 101
and I have stood atop the Empire State Building with my father
I have ridden the fear, although I was afraid
Every single time
I’ve learned that every waking moment is enough
And excess never leads to better things
And only piles and piles atop the things that are already abundantly in front of you
Like breathing and chasing and slow dancing
And love making
fighting and, laughing
I am unhinged, unworthy, and distasteful to mostly everyone I meet
However, I am loyal to a fault
to anyone I find kindness in
I do not and will not fear tomorrow
Because I feel as though today has been enough
I’ve got no hate in my heart for anything, anywhere, or anyone
And I think fear and Fridays have got an awful lot in common
They’re overdone and glorified
And always leave you wanting
Yeah, I think fear and Fridays got an awful lot in common
They’re overdone and glorified
And always leave you wanting
Virginia Woolf, from The Waves
one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it
Comic by @shhhitsfine
say every dumb nice thing that pops into your head. let every bit of kindness you feel flow into those around you. be the reason someone smiles quietly to themselves. we only have so much time. be immortalized by the comfort you’ve brought others.

the story of saying goodbye to summer
being in your early twenties is like [grocery shopping alone] [having instant noodles for dinner] [remembering random details about that one friend you haven’t spoken to in five years] [feeling overwhelming guilt for every purchase that isn’t strictly “necessary”] [having midday naps] [finding out through facebook that the girl who was mean to you in high school has a husband and a baby] [falling a little in love with every stranger on public transport] [pretending you’re not afraid of being alone] [wondering when you’ll feel like a fully realized person] [listening to bands you liked in middle school] [blinking and it’s suddenly december] [failing to imagine yourself ten years from now] [feeling like you’re running out of time]
