lamp light—moon rise

we are all very lonely and desperate for friendship i dont think you will really embarrass yourself by unabashedly seeking it out. i think you will find many other people are also looking for it. people will gravitate towards you if you just let them. its going to be fine

You deserve people in your life who think you are a big deal. No competition, no backhanded comments, no jealously, no comparison, no hate just simply “I love you and there is nobody like you and there will only ever be one of you” type energy

today’s date is the 3rd? what’s next, the 4th? the 5th? the minor fall, the major lift? 

having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer

to love and be loved is to rest

Surely there exists a middle ground between Maccas straws that take 200 years to break down and one’s that can’t make it till the end of your drink before disintegrating.

any story that someone tells you in the kitchen is a good one

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

i just want to drink hot chocolate and read all the books in the world and listen to the same two songs 7926 times and wear my oversized hoodies and take walks around the neighborhood and always stay educated and informed and be a fashion icon and keep my conscience clear and my aura radiant and welcoming and never compare myself to anyone else ever because i’m comfortable in my own skin and manifest everything i want in life
