all is well

Please remember that the effort you put in each day never goes by unnoticed. It continues to turn the invisible gears of your life, operating behind the an unseen curtain of purity. Even when it gets tiring, exhaustive, and absolutely excruciating, please remember this; Your hard work will pay off. Keep at it, and it will.

“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

“People never learn anything by being told. They have to find out for themselves.”

🍁 The hardest tears are the silent ones. Where you stare into nothing without blinking, and your eyes fill with hurt until you can’t take it anymore. You close them and feel the pain roll down your cheeks in silence. Silence.

I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.
