So many things I’m learning to live with, live without, and live through.

a lot of your suffering comes from treating your nature like a problem to manage instead of a design to understand

and in the next fifty years, you will ache and you will glow. you will fall in love with people who don’t stay and still carry their names like pressed flowers in the folds of your memory. you will eat meals alone and meals with people who make you laugh so hard you forget the sting of silence. there will be mornings you can’t get out of bed and nights where you walk home humming under a sky so wide it forgives you. you’ll cry in public and smile at strangers and sometimes it’ll be the same thing. you’ll hear a song that reminds you of someone you promised you’d never forget and you’ll realize you already have, a little. you’ll outgrow versions of yourself you once thought permanent and mourn them like old friends and still you will keep going. you’ll see sunsets that make your chest tighten. you’ll be held when you least expect it. you’ll feel the cold on your face and remember what it means to be alive. and it won’t always be gentle but it will be yours.

There’s a reason you ended things

crazy how I think I'm not brave enough to do some things and then I just go and get them done. and it's always like this

This year asked a lot of you, and you met it. You navigated big change, loss, instability, emotional upheaval, and moments where the ground kept shifting under your feet. You kept showing up anyway. You adapted. You endured. You did enough. More than enough.

You’ve returned to yourself before. You can do it again.

Ending violence cycles in your family? Prepare to feel alone and powerful in the most confusing way imaginable

I’m an asset to anything I’m involved in

i absolutely adore when you can tell an artist is a certified yearner just by looking at their work
