Be true to yourself… But that’s something everyone says and no one means. No one wants you to be yourself. They want you to be the version of yourself that they like.

I have zero tolerance for negativity. If you disrupt my peace for one second, you will be eliminated from my life in one second. I don’t make accommodations for poisonous people.

People don’t get to choose who they fall in love with. They only get to choose who they stay in love with.

All you have to do is be a good listener. Nobody really wants to keep secrets, not even the dead. People leave clues everywhere, and if you pay attention, you can piece them together.

I spent my life learning to feel less.

when the time comes, the words will be there for you.

sometimes self care looks like a good book and a warm blanket. sometimes it looks like a walk in the fields during that mysteriously golden hour of twilight. there are many ways to be kind to a weary heart. find the ways that restore your soul, and carve them into your bones so that during the dark hours you remember.

Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.
