you ever know someone and you think “god i love you. i wish we could’ve known eachother when we were carefree and 11. i wish we could’ve played together as kids”

Learning to be less reactive is literally saving my life. I’m finally understanding that processing things is not the same as immediately forming a response to them. I can process without feeling pressed to formulate a reaction to what someone said or did or a situation that displeases me. Not that a quick head on your shoulders is necessarily a bad thing, but 9/10 taking a minute to just process could save you so much trouble

I can not tell u how many times I would react fast just for the sake of doing it. I didn’t even allow time for the whole array of my emotions to sink in. If I was uncomfortable feeling a certain emotion, I immediately reacted to it so I could make that discomfort go away. I’m thinking about all the times I’ve done that in the past, and every single time it made the situation worse. Like literally every single time. Being less reactive truly is intertwined with allowing yourself to feel what you’re feeling, even if it’s negative, and telling yourself it’s okay. It’s such a hard but vital skill to learn

At the end of the day I’m just a girl who likes to bask in sunlight and read books and make silly little annotations and eat fruit and be grateful and find the joy in the mundane and understand that everything is temporary and be completely disconnected when the time calls for it

slow down and appreciate the small things 𐅛 🫐🐌🌷

I take this so seriously my dog gets super happy just with me moving my lazy ass from bed to the living room. Cus I make a big deal out of it. It’s a party baby! Seriously. It’s the small things! It really is! And if it isn’t necessarily like that for you, try to do it/make it like that for others! That goes for four legged and two legged btw. And yea this is random but let’s try to find the beauty in this random … text (?) 😅
