Wasted times I spent with someone else she wasn’t even half of you

Loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself.

Tuning out the world regularly – to go spend time in silence, or in a quiet place, is sacred and a part of self-care.

I’m tired of people romanticizing overexertion. Exhausted is not the new chic, coffee (though a delicious necessity) is not a food group, and running on fumes is not admirable. Why do we hold pedestals for sleepless nights, breakdowns, and inner turmoil? Are those really things to aspire to? Self-care. Balance. The ability to know when your body, mind, and spirit need to take a step back. Those are things we should admire. We have to stop blurring the line between ‘commitment’ and self-endangerment because too many people are burning out before they have a chance to truly shine.

Might you stumble upon someone insane like yourself, hold on to them. Love them, pacify them, celebrate them in the exact way you would yourself. That’s your lover, your universe, your moon, sun and stars all together.

Show me the most damaged parts of your soul, and i will show you how it still shines like gold.
