there is beauty in the mundane. life doesn't have to be constantly adventurous and excting to be fun or worth living. there's beauty in spending a saturday baking cookies and reading a good book. there's beauty in taking a hot shower after a hard day. there's beauty in ordering pizza and watching a movie with your best friend. these things are just as worthwhile as travelling the world or skydiving. you're allowed to appreciate small joy, as well as big joy. you'll be happier for it.

honestly a good partner isn’t necessarily someone who loves the exact same things you love but rather someone who is willing to listen to you ramble on and on about a particular subject that you’re passionate about even if they have little to no interest in it

i want a soft connection. i want to be asked how my day went and if i need anything. i want forehead kisses. i want the back of my hand kissed at red lights. i want to be asked how i’m mentally feeling. i want to hold hands everywhere we go. i want romantic gestures. i want my hair played in at the most unexpected moments. i want silent eye connections that lead to smiles. i want to take random walks.

something I've realised recently is that there isn't always a reason. sometimes you'll wake up and be anxious or sad or tired and there won't be an easy explanation as to why, it's just there. and maybe digging through those thoughts, trying to find why you feel that way will cause you more pain than just allowing yourself to feel those things would've done. sometimes you just have to allow yourself to feel bad and know that that feeling will pass.

Sometimes I sit and think of all the prayers that God has answered and it brings tears to my eyes. It’s so humbling. The gratitude you feel despite the fact that your life is turned upside down. You think nothing has changed but if you look back, everything is different.

I want to build a home with my partner that's safe from the loudness of the world. There will be no yelling, no slamming of doors, no passive aggressive comments. We will resolve our issues as a family. I want to build a home that's full of love.

2022 smells like success, healing, transformation, blessings and self love.

do you ever just want to sit outside with someone and talk all night because i do

date someone you could have fun at a grocery store with

perhaps you’ll find your perfect career at 41. maybe you will meet the love of your life at 53. at 75, you might discover something you have a great talent for. your favorite musician of all time? possibly, you first listen to them with 38. life doesn’t end with your twenties.

I really don’t know how to explain it, but, when the day comes and I get to look Jesus in the face, I want it to be familiar. I want to look at Him and see someone I’ve known my whole life. I mean I want to be in awe of course. But I want it to be like coming home.

i think it’s so neat that everyone develops their own unique handwriting even though we’re all taught to write our letters the same way really it’s so cute

Marry a guy who can speak good words to you even though he’s mad at you.

This is entirely too important. Anyone that can’t talk to you with love despite feeling angry is telling you that they only value you when it’s convenient for them. You literally don’t need that anywhere near you.

And for the men, this applies to the women as well. This just goes for everybody.

you’ll find new people to have deep conversations with. you’ll find a new place to feel at home in. you’ll find a reason to be genuinely excited to wake up in the morning. you’ll find someone who will reinvent your tainted version of love. you’ll find a way to reconceptualise your feelings and turn to healthy ways to cope. you’ll find a way to reach your goal and improve yourself. you’ll find a way to live every day with inner peace and appreciation for everything you have.
