If I like your mind, nothing else matters.

just a reminder that there’s so much more that we still don’t know about ourselves and that’s what makes life so beautiful. next year you could find your next favorite musician or fall in love with someone you haven’t even met yet. you might see a new shade of green that will become your new favorite color or you could become obsessed with a new food that you thought you once hated. we change as life goes on. we grow as life changes. our experiences shape us into a new person. it’s beautiful.

I told someone today that they are important. It broke my heart when they told me "no one has ever told me I am important before." If no one has told you, you are important. You specifically, are important. Your existence matters. Your life matters. You are important.

It kills me inside when I think I have to act cold to protect myself knowing I'm the sweetest and clingiest soul you'd ever meet.

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.

The world is going to tell you to be a lot of things, it is going to try and hand you a script for everything you could possibly imagine. It’s going to try to convince you of who you are, and who you are supposed to be and what you are supposed to do. But a script is for actors on a stage, not for souls trying to experience life. So, every time that script reappears, please go throw it in the trash. Because you were not born to perform a role someone else wrote for you. You were born to be loud about the script you are writing, not the one the world tries to hand you.

You do not let somebody tell you what your human existence is for. You do not let another soul on this green earth tell you what your human existence is meant to be. You do not let somebody shame you out of liking something. You do not let somebody shame you out of expressing your joy or your sadness. You do not let somebody shame you out of your authenticity. The whole point while your feet are on this rock in space is to express. It is to feel. It is to be. It is to do. It is to love. And whatever that means to you, is completely yours and nobody in this world should have any say in taking that away from you in any way. That is the one thing you should never allow in your lifetime to be taken from you: The freedom to be yourself.
