Bearded vultures will see an iron oxide rich mud puddle and go 'is anyone going to bathe in that' and not wait for an answer

there’s something very beautiful about being able to try again tomorrow

I have been trying tomorrow for the past 3 years

and you still have tomorrow to try again

you’re gonna get through this, even if right now you don’t have all the answers, even if it’s not going as fast as you wish it would. you’ve dealt with hard things before, and that means you are resilient and capable, and you will find a way. you’ve dealt will find away and this will be just one of those hardships that felt impossible to handle, but that you ended up managing. you will make it out of this.

some days you just need to be reminded that things are working in your favor. when you’re tired, i hope you keep going. when you’re struggling, i hope you trust that something bigger than yourself will keep carrying you. when you’re anxious, i hope you hold onto the peace that you’re deserving of. when you’re disappointed, i hope you trust that what is meant for you will not pass you by.

You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible

Actually, you are enough. Even if you don’t work. Or study. Or go out. Or have friends. Or have family. You’re enough because you exist and your existence is enough to be enough because you are not a product. You are not a sum of output. You are not a task to complete. But because you are something the universe wanted and put here even if you’ll never understand why. Somewhere in the cosmos your existence makes a difference, even if it’s not the way others existences do.
