It turns out procrastination is not typically a function of laziness, apathy or work ethic as it is often regarded to be. It’s a neurotic self-defense behavior that develops to protect a person’s sense of self-worth.

You see, procrastinators tend to be people who have, for whatever reason, developed to perceive an unusually strong association between their performance and their value as a person. This makes failure or criticism disproportionately painful, which leads naturally to hesitancy when it comes to the prospect of doing anything that reflects their ability — which is pretty much everything.

But in real life, you can’t avoid doing things. We have to earn a living, do our taxes, have difficult conversations sometimes. Human life requires confronting uncertainty and risk, so pressure mounts. Procrastination gives a person a temporary hit of relief from this pressure of “having to do” things, which is a self-rewarding behavior. So it continues and becomes the normal way to respond to these pressures.

Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them. Their older siblings may have been high achievers, leaving big shoes to fill, or their parents may have had neurotic and inhuman expectations of their own, or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.

The first two paragraphs are my entire life.

Oh dear. Oh fucking dear. This explains so fucking much

This legit describes everything perfectly. I spent over 12 hours at the library pulling an all nighter. And it was only during the last 2 hours that I was there that I actually accomplished any work. So much anxiety man.

unfortunately being gay in real life is not as fun as it is on the internet

SO false! I love being gay. Maybe it’s just my city.. but it’s just as fun if not more! The hot gay boys are even better in person ;)

“Exes”

I went out partying with the guy I was seeing this summer. We’ve been chilling more recently. It’s been weird but cool being friends. He’s a good guy.
Tonight I saw him get picked up and have this random party boy make out with him in my face. And he’s taking him home with him.
It was a growing experience for me.
Glad it happened. Still didn’t feel great.

"It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must NEVER let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the worlds turns, and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you."

Valerie, “V for Vendetta” (via embracewithme)

this is so powerful

"Love anything that lives – a person, a pet, a plant – and it will die. Trust anybody and you may be hurt; depend on anyone and that one may let you down. If someone is determined not to risk pain, then such a person must do without many things: having children, getting married, the ecstasy of sex, the hope of ambition, friendship – all that makes life alive, meaningful, and significant. Move out or grow in any dimension and pain as well as joy will be your reward. A full life will be full of pain. But the only alternative is not to live fully or not to live at all."

It ended with the boy today.

and then it didn’t.

What a rough afternoon. But we spent the rest of the day together, and we’re gonna try and make it work. He’s so sweet but so messed up. I’m not gonna talk much about him anymore, but thought i’d let y’all know how my day was.
