“Don’t be the reason someone feels insecure. Be the reason someone feels seen, heard, and supported.”

“I don’t blink when I see lightning. I absorb its magic. Storing it for my darkest of days. I don’t jump when I hear thunder. I mimic it when I need my soul to move. I don’t run when I feel rain. I long for it to cleanse the fear that resides beneath my skin.”

I’ve officially decided my favorite relationship trope is “at first I was perpetually bothered by your mere existence but somewhere along the way you became my best friend and oh yeah I’m also in love with you.” Nothing else matters.

Forget pulling all-nighters and chugging coffee until it’s practically coursing through your veins. You know what gets me hyped up? Earl Grey tea on slow sunny mornings after a good night’s sleep. Submitting an assignment early, knowing you’ve completed it to the best of your ability. Reading for pleasure. That feeling of limbless relaxation after a good workout. Unearthing all your buried interests and falling in love with them over and over again.

Repeat after me: success is not suffering. Success is nOT-

My dad was eating pistachios so I reached my hand out and he just started peeling them and giving them to me. Then suddenly went “I really hope you find someone who loves you a lot” and I went “enough to peel my pistachios for me?” And he laughed and said “yeah exactly” before carrying on giving me more

Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!

you can behave differently...

...with different people and that's okay.

it's not being fake. how you behave with someone largely depends on how the reciprocate to you.

you can be the sweetest person to someone while being quite straightforward with someone else. you do not have to behave the same way with everyone.

be kind but be sure to match the energy and vibe that the other person gives off. neither be too indulgent of someone who doesn't value you, nor be rude to someone who is good to you.

choose well, be well ✨

it isn’t your job to heal anyone.

you are allowed to be proud of the victories that no one else can see. like showering without completely hating your body, not breaking into tears at the thought of the future, talking yourself out of a dark mindset, calming yourself down in public, or like waking up every single day and choosing life. be proud of the progress no matter if it is visible for others or not. you’re doing great, keep up the good work!

Breathe. Take care. Stand still for a minute. What you are looking for might just be looking for you too.

In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.
