Good morning, you have to be the thing that saves you

[deadbeatmaker]

recently i’ve been in the mood to change my life. I won’t be doing anything to achieve that goal but i’ll be thinking about it extensively which is the same thing

they should make a meal that appears whenever you want to eat it and it doesn't take effort to make and is nutritious and filling and it never goes bad if you leave it in your fridge for a long time and never gets too dry or soggy or otherwise textureweird if you eat slowly and when you're done it automatically cleans off the plate so you don't have to do the dishes and also it should be free

“Because I don’t want to” is a good enough reason to not do anything and you don’t need to explain why. Remember you’re allowed to say no and have that be all and while people won’t be okay with that, they’ll just have to deal with it. Oops.

“Eventually you’ll get tired of spilling your love all over the place. Be smart about who and what you are pouring into.”

— Alexandra Elle (via an-arab-state-of-mind)

The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.

-James Baldwin

I hope every hurting heart finds a gentle place to rest tonight. you are as loved as dawn. as beautiful as rain. you were meant to happen this way.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

Grief is the only proof that I love and I love well. Love and grief are actually intertwined with each other and as "Akif Kichloo" once wrote, "the opposite of grief is not laughter or happiness or joy. It is love. It is love. It is love."

[fairydrowning]

"Grief is love's souvenir. It's our proof that we once loved. Grief is the receipt we wave in the air that says to the world: Look! Love was once mine. I love well. Here is my proof that I paid the price."

– Glennon Doyle Melton, Love Warrior

-Heidi Priebe, As Long As There Is Love, There Will Be Grief

[TEXT ID: The grief of time passing, of life moving on half-finished, of empty spaces that were once bursting with the laughter and energy of people we loved. As long as there is love there will be grief because grief is love's natural continuation. It shows up in the aisles of stores we once frequented, in the whiff of cologne we get two years after they've been gone. Grief is a giant neon sign, protruding through everything, pointing everywhere, broadcasting loudly, "LOVE WAS HERE". In the finer print, quietly, "LOVE STILL IS". END ID]

hope your days get softer from here on out. hope the hurt lessens and the dark turns to light. you deserve gentleness and good love. I hope it finds you soon.
