(un-, re-) learning

release perfectionism. striving for excellence is commendable, but perfection can be paralyzing. embrace the beauty of imperfection and allow room for growth without judgment.

It's ok to miss people but don't ever forget why you distanced yourself

being a strong independent woman who doesn't need anyone but also being a huge hopeless romantic that just wants to be loved genuinely and treated right and not get hurt lmao

people who want more FOR you and not FROM you >

I want to be surrounded by people who make me feel comfortable telling them anything and everything

people who remind you that you’re not alone are the type of people to hang on to. hold them close, love them hard.

always comforting others with the words you wish to hear

I could name a thousand people who never truly saw me for who I was - and if I‘m being honest, I never really let them

on the days when your trauma is louder than your love, remember you are more than what has hurt you

when someone not only listens to WHAT you say, but also WHY you say it >

you know you’ve outgrown them when you start getting quiet around them. when you can’t even talk anymore because you’re just like “I don’t want to even express myself because you don’t even get it” or “I don’t feel like mentioning this to you anymore”
