🌸🌸🌸

A windy day with a moderate temperature will make you feel like you got reborn into a world that really loves you this time

you’re doing a good job. even if no one notices, you’re doing a damn good job.

i'm sure you'll see this. i want you to know i'm proud of you. :)

fuck i can’t believe i wasted my entire life being moved by art and beauty and the indomitable human spirit ugh i should’ve been making money through internet scams

you mean something to people you've never even spoken to. when i see my elderly neighbor on her balcony i go "oh it's grandma" and i'm so happy to see her every time, when i pass a couple holding hands i think 'what a cute couple that is', when i hear a child laugh on the train it makes me smile and hope that life continues to make them laugh! it is just as likely that you are being showered in appreciation, well wishes and blessings everywhere you go

being in love with the process and not the results is one of the healthiest things in the world

in this same vein: being proud of yourself for the work and not the product brings so much more happiness 

at the core of my being i'm a girl that loves sitting on the balcony

whenever i spend my day outside when the weather is good i’m like wow i’ve finally unlocked the secret to inner peace

do it scared do it stupid do it badly whatever it is that's worth doing, that's worth anything at all, we do it. be it scared be it stupid be it badly. the sincerity remains the same.

in the springtime i feel little flowers grow in my heart too

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

no rizz just sparkly loving eyes and a heart that feels ready to pour right out of my ribcage at any given time

I hope you find the type of love in life that makes you feel at ease. I hope birdsong will sound like music to you again. I hope your home is warm during the winter and cool in the summer. I hope people smile at you enough. I hope you wake up curious for what's to come. I hope you listen to your body's aches as signals instead of mere hindrances. I hope that when you reach out, there's a hand to grasp onto. I hope that when you laugh, bursts of happiness accompany the sound. I hope you live a life where today is just as exciting as tomorrow. I hope you don't feel guilt over moving on from the things that were your fault. I hope you rest well. I hope you eat enough. I hope you hold your hopes tightly. I hope you allow them to transform into dreams. I hope your dreams come true.

You need to draw and make art or else all the images will stay in your head and you'll get sick

Childlike wonder is key. Pleasure and excitement is key. Physical senses, being present, emotion are key. Who were you before you let them tear you down? Where did your passions go?
