if you haven’t, i hope you fall in love with life again. i hope you wake up with a happy sigh, hope you feel like doing things you enjoy, hope you are surrounded by people who make you feel safe, hope you smile at yourself in the mirror.

ultimately you just have to be brave and do the thing

every girl has their own special way of being a girl. it's the most amazing thing ever.

“you’re such a ray of sunshine!” thanks! one day i chose to act happy and then i kept choosing it over and over and over and over until the neurological pathways formed like desire paths in the thicket. i dug and clawed my nails into the grooves of my brain and carved out joy. i retouch it every day.

january is one of those months where you experience every feeling on the human spectrum and you just have to go about your day like that isn't happening

Get in the habit of talking about your joys more than your problems.

you’ll be fine. you made it out of impossible situations before and you will do it again
