learning history from all around the earth has taught me that we as humans are adaptable. through horrors natural and manmade, we’ve made it through and evolved as a species. and i think we’ll just continue doing so. it’s a slow and easy to derail process, but in hundreds of years whatever is left of us now will just be more proof of our evolvement.
for me personally, it makes me feel small and random, but i really don’t mind that. something about how we’re all technically small and random in the grand scheme of things and we’re alllll just trying to make sense of the world makes me feel at ease and hopeful we’ll figure it out

it‘s a cliche for sure, but in recent years i have become a big believer in every event, good or bad, having some sort of purpose, whether it be a big or little one. i guess this helps me to stay content in the moment because it reminds me that, “hey! i know you might be upset about this thing right now, but it’ll work out. you just have to let it.” i am a big time worrier, and i always want to control situations as much as i can, but i have found that if i just let them play out, they’ll go the way they were meant to. (and if it’s not in a good way, at least it’s a good story).
and, honestly, it helps me just remembering what a miracle it is to be alive at all; to have the blessing of living at the same time as the people i love; to feel the sun shine on my face in that very moment. we are so small in the grand scheme of things, but here we are!!! how wonderful is that!!!
it’s like in ”vienna”: “slow down, you’re doing fine, you can’t be everything you wanna be before your time.”

last year, albeit fantastic, has been a strange one. amidst a large quantity of new people, and new experiences, my life has changed quite drastically.
i had a hard time with this, as many do, and spoke to my mom, and my therapist, at length about this before eventually finding that despite my non-existent contentment with this change, it would not stop.
me learning to take a tiny step back and adapt to the change, rather than trying to continue life as if it had not shifted, was a real turning point for me.
all that being said, it is considerably difficult to "go with the flow" when the change is particularly life altering. however, even if it may feel like these changes may stop your earth from turning, the world will not cease to spin, and time will not stop.
hope you had a good day today 🐫
p.s. something else that helped me was trying to be extra grateful for the constants in my life!

On a scientific level :
The chance of you being you (your unique genetic makeup) from just one conception is estimated at 1 in 70 trillion, which is translated to 0.0000000000014286%.
This information by itself gives me hope that I was put on this earth for something BIG (for me).
On a religious level (a side of myself that i keep to me only because it's my personal spiritual journey) :
In my religion, they say before we get born, God shows us our whole path in this life and we chose to either accept it and live it as seen or not, so for me honestly this information gives me hope on a daily basis, to know that i chose this life with all its bad and good moments means i saw something that i will eventually be thankful for.
On a day to day level :
Humans do give me hope in different shapes :
- Watching people being with animals is hope
- Watching parents being gentle with their babies is hope
- Watching people work hard to rescue animals is hope
- To see people manifest for a human cause in public is hope
- The warm sunlight is hope
- Working Hard thinking about the future is hope
- Doctors who volunteer in rural areas is hope
With the right mindset i think everything can be and is HOPE, even the sad parts like crying to sleep over something, because if you think about it the fact that you care that much to the point it makes you sad is a form of hope because you have feelings.

my chameleon died this morning and i buried him in my mom’s backyard. i had a lot of ladders in his cage, he seemed to really like to zip around on em. it was hard to see him lose mobility in his old age, but i like to remember him as a climber.
rest in peace mr. princess
