#loveyourselfplease

Disclaimer : I’m not trying to romanticize pain. Pain is a terrible thing and some things people should never have to go through. I’m highlighting the fact that the strength people have, and the love that people have is beautiful.

- The sun setting over a lake. The sky a cascade of colors.

- A person learning how to experience joy again. That breakthrough when you realize that you’re going to be ok.

- The concepts people create for death and the afterlife. The grief and love people have for the deceased. Surely that love would be with the person’s soul forever, even in the afterlife.

- Watching kids explore and discover. The pure joy and fascination.

- The survivor’s spirit. People still moving after they’ve gone through/are going through hell. Every second, every day that they go through the pain is inspiring and heartbreaking.

- Imperfections. Learning to embrace the ugliest sides of yourself and loving yourself regardless. 

- Heartbreak. You loved someone or something so much that it causes you this grief. It meant so much.

- Art. Creations. People creating for the hell of it. It doesn’t have to be good or perfect. The imperfections make it unique. You learn from your mistakes. Remember, “mistakes are happy accidents” - Bob Ross (pretty sure that’s the quote).

- Discovering who you are

they have nothing better to do than to go try and make someone feel like shit for absolutely no reason
