You don’t have to do your absolute best every single day to be loved. You don’t have to exhaust 100% of your energy every day and get everything done that’s on your to-do list. You’re allowed to rest and have days off and do fun things to recharge. Your worth is not measured by the ammount of work you do.

“Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”— Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959 (via plantofail)
