the bond between a girl and her room is stronger than the gravitational force of the earth

I used to hate it when people said the trick was to just do it until ‘do it scared’ started going around, because that’s truly it. Life didn’t start changing until I applied for jobs with one hand in front of my eyes and a trembling hand navigating my computer mouse. Or until I said everything on my mind (in moderation) with my fists clenched and my legs weak. Or until I refused to accept that I’d ‘just’ be shy forever while also kind of being nauseous at the idea of trying to be the opposite. Two things can coexist and that’s exactly the point of believing that you can do anything.

Keep some things sacred to yourself whether its your grooming habits, beauty secrets, love life, ambitions, finances, spiritual practice…. Don’t be afraid to have your private secrets, you do not have to be an open book.

i’m gatekeeping myself. nobody can know who i am

reading alone in your room at sunset with your windows open in summer while the wind caresses your skin is probably the closest thing we have to a cure for the human condition

ignoring men is self care

I feel FATIGUED like send her to the seaside for her health type fatigue

all i want is to be well-read, well-spoken, and well-loved.

DON’T CHASE, ATTRACT.
