I wish our cellphones could send out automated messages that explain that we can’t come to the phone right now bc we’re feeling sad and existential. Lmao I don’t care if that sounds crazy. It’s literally too much for me sometimes, the texting. Explaining. Apologizing. Makes me feel insane

Most parents chalk parenthood up to giving advice instead of actual emotional bonding, which is why when you grow up and begin to oppose their advice, they feel like you’re opposing their parenting. They didn’t form a bond with you to love you—the control is their ‘love’. They don’t love you for your autonomy, they love you for your obedience.

The thought of getting hurt again terrifies me

i swear having a big heart only ever comes with disappointments

I wish we could see a person’s mind first

It’s not just okay to be sensitive. It’s beautiful to be sensitive. It’s beautiful to be aware and feel deeply. It’s beautiful to love with all your heart and be giving.

My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no name calling, shaming or blackmail. My home will be gentle, it will be warm. It will keep my loved ones safe. No fear, no hurt and no worries. I may come from a broken and twisted place but I will build something whole and safe. I’ll sing in the shower again, cook with a smile and dance in all the rooms. I WILL HEAL.

be healthily sensitive. tell them you're hurt when you're hurt. describe what hurt you. no silent treatment and passive aggressiveness. be honest. don't compromise your emotion. don't bottle it up. weigh the issue. understand and maybe, forgive.

U can learn so much by being quiet n watching

people carry heavy burdens and most of the time we’re unaware of them so honestly just be a decent human being and don’t add to their suffering
