I'm Getting By With My Beautiful Lungs

Lauren // INFJ // she/her Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there. So take a breath and then take it in, to think of places I'll go, I haven't been.

i'm thinking about charlotte brontë spending her last years editing and publishing her sisters' writings and about christopher tolkien dedicating his life to the protection and meticulous reconstruction his father's life's work and about johanna van gogh publishing the letters between vincent and theo that would propel vincent van gogh into fame because she knew how much her husband had loved his brother, and about how so often art isn't just a reflection of the artist's mind and skills but a testament to the fact that they were loved

My sister just quoted this post at me over dinner bc it was discussed in her philosophy class & I can't even smugly inform her of its authorship. Due to the mindhunter yaoi state of my most recent blog history.

idk what young person on the internet needs to hear this but you are not obligated to share any personal details about yourself online. in fact im gonna straight-up circle back to 00s era advice and say being anonymous is good actually

Did you know that I am CONSTANTLY trying my very best not to scare you off or weird you out whenever I'm talking to you?

My resolution last year was to do one thing before bed that would make my morning feel easier, and that’s become a daily habit that I’m carrying into this new year.

Some nights even filling up the kettle and setting an empty mug out for my morning tea felt hard. But I was always thankful for it in the morning.

Other nights, one thing would lead to another, and I’d wake up in a clean house with everything ready to go.

And, on a rare few nights, the one thing that I could do to make my morning easier was going straight to bed and allowing myself to rest.

What stayed the same each day is that I would take a moment to think of what I could do for my future self and do it, even after a hard day. And I would wake up knowing that I had done my best and any effort—no matter how small—was a kindness to myself.

I’ve been doing a lot of “a treat for future me” moments lately.

That’s a great way to look at it, and I love this artist! (Anna-Laura: instagram / website)

The reason why she has been one of my best friends is because this person has never ever judged a single decision I’ve made, she has always met me where I’ve been, she’s encouraged me when I’ve had nothing to be encouraged about, and I don’t know if I would be as strong as I am if I didn’t have you and your family because you changed my life.

there are parallels all around us.

feels like a lifetime ago that i took this first picture, in a park in nashville during the month i was there recording this album. i truly had no idea what was to come!! i know u guys have been waiting a long time for this record, and i promise an announcement really feels in the wind… in the trees…. right around the corner…. i really wanted to make sure i got absolutely everything as right as it could possibly be, and i’ve been working so hard behind the scenes to make sure the next few months are as iconic and busy and round the world as they possibly can be!! it’s been too long since i’ve seen all your faces, and it’s my ultimate priority to change this ….. this album to me is really a representation of the last few years of my life! it’s about my journey into love, about what it felt like to find real solid roots, and grow into the woman i am now, after spending so much of my girlhood in constant motion. the first few songs you’ve heard feel like the first seedlings of autumn, and i like to think the next little chapter of music will feel like the first buds of spring, bold and bright and reaching towards the sun! i was 23 when i started this album, i’ll be 25 when it comes out, and i just can’t wait for this whole new era to blossom - it’s such an honour getting to grow up with u all, and i hope this next era can accompany you throughout the next few seasons of your life. with that, keep an eye on your phones in the next week…. a big eye <3
