nostalgic reverie

You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.

If you feel lost and disconnected from yourself; if you feel like you don't know who you are and question your purpose in this life, the best thing you can do is reconnect with everything that has ever brought you joy. There are so many parts of ourselves we hide and forget because we adapt to the environment and people around us. Other people's opinions, judgements and thoughts influence us and it's so easy to get lost in them and forget what you actually think and want, who you actually are. So revisit the songs that make you feel happy and alive, pick up that hobby that always grounded you, connect to people who bring warmth to your life and indulge in anything that makes your soul feel at peace. All of these things are the essence of who you are, my love. And in order to find yourself again, go back to your roots and engage with everything you have been neglecting for so long. I can see that the light inside of you has been dimmed for a while, but it's still there, waiting for you to uncover it again.

Perceive yourself as a successful person. Perceive yourself as a lovable person. Perceive yourself as the person who’s worthy of all the best in life.

Real love is when you’re both dumbasses

but we persevere!
