the cure to self-sabotage is to anchor yourself to the universal truth that you are worth it. you are worth the effort. you are worth the difficulty, you are worth the time, you are worth the consideration. there is never a point in your life, in time itself, that you are not worth it. return to this truth when you feel yourself slipping. do not let it go.

Someone said “The slow burn of becoming yourself” and I think that might be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. It’s such a good reminder of how much it takes, how much character development, how much change, and beauty and courage it takes to reach your soul and I hope no one ever gives up on becoming themselves because it’s a never ending journey that only gets better.

There is something very sensual about someone unzipping your dress for you. The brush of fingers against skin, the expanse of your back slowly revealing itself as they inch the zipper towards the base of your spine. Maybe they leave a kiss on the nape of your neck before they let you finish undressing, or they may even offer to help you. Either way, there’s almost an eroticism to the whole exchange that’s so lovely, I love quiet romantic acts like that

i WILL be nuzzling my face into you like a cat and really there’s nothing you can do about it
