please never stop talking passionately about the things you love

there is always more than what is happening today. maybe today sucked. that’s okay. there’s always tomorrow. maybe you’ll bake cookies, and see a cat on your way to work or school. maybe next week you’ll see your friend for the first time in a while, and you’ll feel at home again. maybe next year you’ll feel happier than you thought possible. there are always new movies to watch, animals who want petting, books to read, candles to light, a comfy bed to come home to. today’s only a snapshot of your life. maybe tomorrow will be a prettier one. you got this.

reminder that being mean to yourself doesn’t achieve anything except create more self-hate

i love sunsets, i love discovering new music, i love stargazing, i love walking, i love the smell of earth after it rains, i love coffee, i love the smell of books, i love quiet afternoons, i love open windows, i love the underlying flavors in food, i love poetry, i love freshly baked bread, i love painting my nails, i love flowers growing through cracks in the pavement. etc etc

Keep in mind that it is productive to have self-compassion and do self-care.

every time I didn’t think I could get through it I did

reblog to give a strawberry to the person you reblogged this from

To lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given side-eye when you tried to fit in…. you are so worthy of love.

In case your mom/dad doesn’t say it, I want you to know that I’m proud of you. I think that thing you’re doing Is awesome and I am stoked to see the amazing talented person you’re growing into. I love you kiddo
