imperfection.

Forgive people, move on and let them continue with their lives. You are moving into a direction that they aren’t destined to follow. Don’t disrupt the universe’s plan.

Not all toxic people are cruel and uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions. Most are toxic to our being simply because their needs and way of existing in the world force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness. They aren’t inherently bad people, but they aren’t the right people for us. And as hard as it is, we have to let them go. Life is hard enough without being around people who bring you down, and as much as you care, you can’t destroy yourself for the sake of someone else. You have to make your wellbeing a priority. Whether that means breaking up with someone you care about, loving a family member from a distance, letting go of a friend, or removing yourself from a situation that feels painful – you have every right to leave and create a safer space for yourself.

You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire, you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life.

“i hope you find healing regardless of whether you have received the closure you feel you deserve. i hope you don’t wait for an apology to arrive so that you can finally give yourself the permission to heal. i hope peace finds you when clarity eludes you the most.”

“too many times, you’ve drowned yourself for people who can’t swim in your love language. burnt yourself for people who can’t put out their own flames. abandoned yourself for people who pick and choose when to open their doors to you. too many times, you’ve put yourself last.”

are you ok?

Please stop destroying what is left of your heart by constantly thinking about things that have broken you.

“I’ll never be satisfied with good enough. If a career or relationship isn’t as thrilling as I would like it to be then I will gladly sacrifice it to pursue one that is. I’m quite content to live a solitary or penniless life, so long as it is a passionate one.”
