“I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they’re your parents. Because, if you’re the kind of person who senses there’s something out there for you beyond whatever it is you’re expected to do - if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary - you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you’re not extraordinary. Instead, you will probably become as ordinary as they expect you to be.”

— Kelly Cutrone

Tomb - Angelo De Augustine

[nixscriptum]

There is always a way back, looking at the stars and feeling incredibly small but incredibly lucky is a way back, singing along to your favorite song in the car with the windows rolled all the way down is a way back, forgiving yourself for who you had to be to survive is a way back, the first cool breeze of autumn after a brutal summer is a way back, letting someone help you carry the heavy things is a way back, noticing the tiny weeds growing through the sidewalk cracks and realizing they are trying too is a way back, remembering that you are still here, still breathing, still trying, is a way back. 🤍
