i remember in 5th grade when big tests would happen i’d memorize movies at home so when i was done with the test i can just watch a movie in my head and i remember after 1 test and everyone was reading a book or taking a nap i would be staring at the wall watching twilight for 30 minutes

Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.
