Lovely dance of Love

"There are mornings that don't change your life in dramatic ways. They simply remind you that you're still here, and somehow that's enough."

Resist the urge to prove you’re doing better than other people. It’s unnecessary

            Shhh, goes the rain like the static in my head, a million thoughts competing till they’re all just noise. I’m thinking so much and of so much that it’s like I’m not thinking at all.             But the air is cool and quiet. A calm blows on the wind. I close my eyes and breathe it in.             Shhh, goes the rain, telling my mind to quiet. Slowly I quit listening to my head and listen to the rain instead, shhh…

I think maybe the first part of keeping others safe and making them feel safe is recognizing the ways in which you are capable of harming them, especially without even realizing it

If you imagine yourself as an innocent and pure thing incapable of harming anyone, I'm not sure I'll ever feel safe around you. Sorry. Because when you define your entire personality in being harmless, you will respond poorly when you do, inevitably, cause harm.
