the light enters you

to have failed is a sign you tried…. the mistakes, the relationships that didn’t make it, the job you didn’t get, the plans that fell through…. you tried, you lived, you loved.

i’d say the best thing i have learned this year is to just let people be who they naturally are. no psychoanalyzing them, no overthinking my actions, no asking what i could possibly do to keep their presence in my life. i just bring my best self to the table and always move from a place of love and respect. how that person responds is ultimately up to them. if that causes them to exit my life, i just let it happen. i will never be in the business of changing people. people are only ever ready to change when they’ve made the conscious decision to. all i can do is check myself and be kind always.

me too bro me too

i just know in my bones that i will somehow make a beautiful life for myself no matter what the world throws at me

I don't know it in my bones, but I will claw tooth and nail if I need to, and carve myself a beautiful life amidst chaos if that is what the world throws at me. I have come so far, and I'm not giving up now.

healing involves a lot more grieving than you’d expect. progress hurts. you’re moving on from things that happened but also things you wished would happen and never did. mourning does not mean you are not getting better.

cook your meals with love, take care of your self, rest and relax, stay hydrated, take long walks, pursue your hobbies, look for silver linings, laugh loudly and with love, stay compassionate and considerate, cultivate your style and be thankful for each moment on earth.

Move like everything is gonna workout… Because it is

friendly reminder no one is worth destroying yourself over. doesn’t matter how happy they’ve made you, how long you’ve known them, how cute they are, how sweet they can be. if you’re constantly crying yourself to sleep over them and feeling invalidated and having to blame yourself or make up excuses for them, not worth it. not worth it now. not worth it in the long run.

you will love and be loved again and it will be f*cking beautiful
