perfect for honeymoons and romantic escapes.

- consciously take deeper breaths and recognise unhelpful thoughts

- notice and appreciate what no one else notices.

- carry a journal everywhere to record little thoughts, drawings, tickets and memories

- stop searching for proof that you’re good enough. you are already good enough and loveable, you always have been.

- remember what you’re excited for if you’re feeling sad. it can be something small.

- if you compare yourself to others often, change your mindset. you will rarely feel good if you continue with that mindset.

- it’s ok if you’re not where you want to be. take a moment to see how far you’ve come from a year ago.

- don’t spend the day wishing things could be different. trust that everything happens for a reason. trust the timing of things. there are bright things in the future waiting for you.

- be candid in everything you do. don’t live life through someone else’s eyes.

- know that when one door closes, another opens. always be hopeful.

- you have a lot more time than you think. the world seems fast paced but you don’t need to be.

- be genuine to yourself. don’t pretend to be someone else. the right people will find you. the right path will find you

- don’t bottle up your emotions. don’t numb yourself. know what you’re feeling and let it out.

- treat every day like a new beginning. it doesn’t matter how many times you failed. failing means you’re trying.

- rest when you need to. overworking yourself isn’t worth it.

- just because you’re not where you want to be doesn’t mean you’re not amazing.

Today, Tumblr’s owner, Verizon Media, announced that Automattic plans to acquire Tumblr. Automattic is the technology company behind products such as WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and Simplenote—products that help connect creators, businesses, and publishers to communities around the world. 

We couldn’t be more excited to be joining a team that has a similar mission. Many of you know WordPress.com, Automattic’s flagship product. WordPress.com and Tumblr were both early pioneers among blogging platforms.

Automattic shares our vision to build passionate communities around shared interests and to democratize publishing so that anyone with a story can tell it, especially when they come from under-heard voices and marginalized communities.

We look forward to continuing to create products that empower your self-expression and sense of community and that build a better, more inclusive internet. 

We’re excited for our future together!
