Soo beautiful

saving eye contact for marriage

the ache for genuine healthy friendships...

it’s ok to miss someone. it’s ok to grieve even if the relationship ended badly. it’s ok to suddenly want to cry after feeling fine for a while because something reminded you of them. you’re a human and you probably loved them with your whole heart. they were a big part of your life so of course it hurts when suddenly they’re not there. even if they changed, even if things drifted slowly, even if you ‘deserved better’, even if you’re both supposed to have moved on by now, it can hurt. they made you really happy once. you made good memories with them, and a small part of you will always wish you could go back again. it’s okay to feel this way. it’s okay.

this is your reminder to start slow and gradually lean into consistency rather than to change your entire routine one fine day. it's okay to start wherever and whenever you feel ready. please don't compare yourself to the highlight reel of people on social media. i promise it's never too late to work on your goals. you don't have to make a drastic change just because it's a new year. time is a social construct and i want nothing more than for you to truly enjoy life at present without worrying too much about the future. you are completely able to achieve goals you have set for yourself, but take it step by step. please avoid burnout and please take rest. wishing you all the best!!

influencers don’t get it. sure you can stage beautiful pictures of your beautiful self in your beautiful house in expensive workout gear without ever going to the gym. take a mirror selfie that isn’t actually a mirror selfie. it’s you holding your phone with another camera on a timer. get your 500k instalikes. sell tea that makes us shit. vitamin supplements we piss out. you will never have the impact of a girl blogger with 10 likes on a post about the strawberries she got on sale at the grocery store today. i love when social media is a diary. i love you mundane expression. i love you pictures of pets i love you casual selfies i love you weird lighting. i love you diary entries. i love you alive girl

Spoiler alert: You will never reach a place in life in which you experience constant happiness or never experience challenges. What you can achieve is learning to find joy in as many moments as possible, fully embracing the good when it graces your life, and navigating the challenges life throws your way with greater ease. It all has its place; it all contains a blessing. Beauty can be found in every season of life.
