Your peace will cost you certain people. Pay it anyway.

For the sake of your mental health, choose people who communicate, take accountability, and treat your heart with care.

people hate it when i say "black people getting cancer is racist" but im literally fucking right because systemic racism has led to chemical dumping being acceptable in black/brown neighborhoods and black people have higher rates of cancer as a result

life is so much better when nobody knows what you’re up to

What a gift it is to no longer tolerate less than you deserve.

Too many people are taught to be curious about why someone is mean rather than being taught to simply step away and redirect their energy to folks who want to receive it.

Like two years ago I ran into a salamander biologist in the woods who complimented my ability to 'walk quietly in the forest while causing minimal disturbance to the leaf litter.' Still goes to my head.
