personal reminders:

1. Just a few more weeks and you'll be getting what you've been asking for these past few months. Just a few more weeks and it will be the end of an era, but the start of a new one. Cherish what little time you have left and consider it like something fragile and easily breakable, something so precious that can be dismantled when not handled with care.
2. They say that it's okay to make better mistakes. 
3. Do not be so worried about your imperfections because the people who truly matter will accept you and your flaws because they see something that other people don't. Because there is always beauty jutting out from even the darkest corners of the earth and there will always be beauty in every single person in this world and that includes you.
4. Laugh more freely, smile a little wider. Your mother always said that you're at your prettiest when you show your teeth to the world and your eyes turn into tiny half-moons. Mothers (sometimes) know best.
5. I think it's time to share some of your poems again. You've been laying low for so long, let your words breathe again. They've grown quite restless.

personal reminders:

1. Do not walk through the world like you're walking on expectations. You might just crush them.
2. You're currently working on three fics that you're not even sure you can bring into completion, how about you start working on your life? Get your lazy butt out of bed and start selling cupcakes to your sister's coworkers. Fix your room and brush your hair that hasn't been brushed in months. Refrain from taking too many naps just because you want to escape. Breathe properly. Let go.
3. Be thankful for the slow hum-drum of your life right now because this is all going to change in two months. At the moment, two months might seem like a long time but they'll pass by quickly if you let them slip out of your fingers. 
4. Get a pen and start writing in your notebook again, the one filled with all the prompts given by your friends. I know that you think it's going to hurt because you miss them and their words but maybe you'll feel a lot better afterwards. Just give it a try. There's no harm in trying (actually, there is but come on now, just write and you can blame yourself later).
5. Actually, go buy a pen first. You've lost all your pens.

personal reminders:

1. Just because life seems like a living hell right now doesn't mean you can't turn it the other way around and make a little heaven out of it. Fall back in love with the things that once brought joy to you. Start peeling some potatoes and apples. Start peeling the skins off of grapes and silver-foiled kisses. Start sketching again. Write poems. Bake a cake. Sleep all the pain away. Do everything until you feel sunlight in your heart again.
2. On another note, fall in love with things that you think will bring joy to you. Join that sculpture class. Spend more time with your friends. Give that person another chance. Write letters to your thirteen-old self who was a sarcastic little bitch that read facts about ants. Stop being so angry all the time, yeah?
3. Don't think about him. No, not him. Him.
4. Kaisoo is real to a certain degree. You don't want to come off as a delusional shipper but there's underlying affection in whatever sort of relationship they have. Whatever they have is just different, you can't explain it but there's something there and it breaks your heart that you have to force yourself into thinking that it's just fanservice when you think it's so much more.
5. Wasps defend themselves by using their poison. Be kind to wasps. They just want to protect themselves. Kind of like you.

personal reminders #2

1. You are going to make this into a thing. You am going to make this into a thing because sometimes you are so caught up in life that you forget about yourself. You forget that you have feelings. You forget that you also need to be self-centered as you are selfless. You forget that you have your own life to live and others can live theirs fine without you. You forget and you need to be reminded.
2. Stop caring so much about that girl who calls herself a friend despite the many occasions that have proved otherwise. She's not worth the fight anymore. Maybe she never was.
3. Why have you stopped writing? Fucking grab some pen and paper and write about everything that hurts and everything that makes your heart smile. Don't let the wild thought clutter inside your head until they turn you into a mess. Let them out in the open, let out the beasts, let out the monsters that want to turn you into one of them. Destroy them before they destroy you.
4. Jongdae is special. Love him more.
5. What's stopping you? Graduation is just three days away and you might never see some of them ever again. What's stopping you from confronting those who have hurt you without them ever knowing because the smiles you threw their way made them think that it was okay that they've brought you down? What's stopping you from thanking those who have made everything worth it? What's stopping you from crying and hugging everyone dear? What's stopping you from getting angry instead of just swallowing your pride? What?
