you know what’s wild is that all these crazy standards we hold ourselves to are things that we don’t even value in another person? like i’ve never been like “wow I love that this friend of mine is too proud to ask for help and never complains about their feelings” or “my favorite quality about this friend is that they get straight A’s and never get overwhelmed and has never told me about a problem” or “i love that this friend has never been wrong about anything or slipped up and said something embarrassing once in their life” and yet here we are, pushing ourselves past our limits for and beating ourselves up over slipups of things that our friends probably wouldn’t even rank in the top 50 reasons they like us

december, be good to me. grow me spiritually and increase my capacity for love. for every sacrifice, show me the results of commitment and the harvest of a good heart. increase my faith, bless my finances. build me a castle of joy. make me a new aura for peace.

i wish people would stop romanticizing not eating breakfast and not getting enough sleep and being dependent on coffee to function and always being in a bad mood and treating yourself poorly because that behavior is very unhealthy for you

Someone else's success does not equal your own failure.

an aesthetic that will never go out of style: making others feel loved, needed, and important 

not to be corny but friends supporting friends is the most important thing in the whole entire world

If you’re scrolling through tumblr trying to distract yourself from something you don’t want to think about or you’re looking for a sign that everything will be okay, this is it. So, breathe. Relax into this moment. You’re alive & that’s all that matters.

This is it: this is your sign. You’re brand new, refreshed, empowered to change. Your calmer, softer times are coming. Your confidence, your happiness, your bliss, is arriving. Self acceptance is easier, and taking care of yourself is no longer a chore, but something you look forward to. You start to feel replenished - you’re *you* again - and the next chapter of your happier life begins now.

YOU will always be the most important thing in your life. don’t sacrifice your own needs for someone else. taking care of your health isn’t selfish, it’s self care and self love.

When you love, I think it’s better to love with your whole heart than to be safe and reserved. I know it might set you up for getting your heart broken which is no fun, but even if that does happen, at least you know that you gave it your all. If it didn’t work out, it wasn’t your fault because you were brave enough to say, “hey, I love the absolute shit out of you, I hope that’s enough”.

Do you ever have those moments when you’re so out of it - like maybe not even tired - but out of it to the point where sounds become white noise and the physical objects in your peripherals almost don’t exist and you’re starring in the direction of an object, but not even looking at the object and you’re no longer focusing your eyes together so you are seeing 2’s of everything?? And for a brief second in that moment, nothing seems real and you feel like you almost don’t exist…?????
