There’s Such An Unhealthy Stigma, Especially In Academic Communities, Surrounding Taking Time Off Or

there’s such an unhealthy stigma, especially in academic communities, surrounding taking time off or dropping out. putting education above your health and well-being isn’t okay and should not be the standard. obviously there are positives to school/college/uni, but the environment created by the education system can be so horrifically damaging in so many ways, and demonising stepping away from or leaving it only makes it worse. as much as education is important, your health and well-being are infinitely more so.

it is okay to take breaks. it’s okay to take a year off. it’s okay to leave if that’s what you need to do. dropping out does not make you stupid, nor does it make you a failure. take care of yourself first and foremost. traditional education is not the only way to learn.

it’s not a myth. it gets easier. every bit of hard work is worth something. it builds you up.

love is insane you feel like you're always subtly asking "do you still love me even though i'm flawed" and the answer just keeps being yes
