Imagine finding the love of your life

[svdaily]

Imagine getting to keep them

[borderlinereminders]

Every single person in this world has at some point made a mistake, likely embarrassed themselves, and likely done something they wish they could change.

Try not to dwell on these things. You can learn and grow from them. You can fix them when you can. You can take accountability where it's needed. But try not to get stuck in these things.

We're all human, and part of that means we're all imperfect.

Life is too short for someone nonchalant, find someone who loves you loudly.

[kiwilikethefruittt]

you don’t have to delay your happiness until after everything in your life is perfect or fixed or whatever. you can enjoy it now, no matter how imperfect it may be.

there's a lot of talk about reading comprehension and one thing i think is the biggest barrier to people on this site getting better at it is simply... rushing. rushing to share something you haven't understood, rushing to have an opinion without taking the time to think about it, rushing to declare that you don't understand something

take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)

the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it

but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first

comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now

please just simply slow down. you don't always have to respond to everything within a second or two. it is okay if it is not an instantaneous understanding. we all need to get more comfortable with thinking more slowly and more deeply and more carefully, and not letting our instant split second responses drive us all the time, because they are a barrier to genuine reflection

Your routines are a love letter to your future self

[eatmangoesnekkid]

“Let yourself have some leisurely mornings. More meditation. A simple pot of tea. Breathwork. Journaling. Singing. Some yoga or stretching. Spontaneous lovemaking. Sitting on the front porch and staring out into space. You’ll discover that when you make time to start your day off in leisure -unhurried, unbothered, and not rushing -no e-mails or social media, the rest of your day naturally unfolds more deliciously.”

I want to be the person someone finds comfort in the one they turn to, their favorite soul, the one they want to grow and heal with.

[kiwilikethefruittt]

damn it, i do want to live. i want to see that movie that’s coming out at thanksgiving. i want to know what it’s like to go to greece. i want to see my dog grow old. i want to be a part of my best friend’s wedding. damn it, i want to live!!

[seaphine]

It’s okay if your love language is “please don’t leave when it gets hard” Not everyone speaks it fluently, and that doesn’t make it any less valuable.

[seaphine]

call me an old soul, but I find peace in nature, nights, moon, sunsets, breezes, books, poetry, flowers, the smell of rain, and people who feel like hug.
