the version of you from five years ago would be genuinely amazed by what you’ve handled since then. sit with that for a second

i wish you kinder, softer days that put your heart at ease

Healthy relationships include uncomfortable conversations.

Stop trying to force the wrong man to love you the right way.

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.

Maturity is not seeking revenge. It's healing and moving on, so you don’t become like the people who traumatized you.

My childhood trauma didn't make me stronger. it made me a people pleaser. it made me forgive way too much. it made me not speak when i'm supposed to. it made me an extreme empath.

the older I get, the more attractive stability becomes……………… i just want some god damn peace of mind and a non-stressful environment
