You are not behind.

You are recovering.

Give yourself grace.

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

Platonic love is not a runner up to romantic love. Platonic love isn’t second place. Platonic love isn’t less real, less valid or less powerful than romantic love. Don’t let your platonic love take a back seat to romantic love.

to remember for february: appreciation, play, love at the heart of everything, receptivity to wonder

It’s okay to be a beginner at the things you are interested in. There is no reason to feel intimidated by people more advanced than you are, because they too were in your place at one point. Keep learning and growing and expanding in whatever it is that you love and let nothing and no one stop you. You don’t have to be at the same stage as someone else. You can just be at your stage and that one is okay too.

i hope you can find it in yourself to be kinder to yourself today than you were yesterday

I know it sounds fake but you really do have a lot of silent lovers on this planet who look at you and wish they had your smile or your hair color or your humor or your intellect or your intentions or your heart, your manners, your eyes, your ease, even just you. People who are too shy to tell you what they admire about you or what they wish for you or who they see themselves becoming bc of you & they’re too shy to tell you. even tho it isn’t verbalized, the universe has still heard and the universe has loved you for helping out on its creations. You’re that person. You’re you.

[calm-thought]

You are not out of step. You are not falling behind. You are taking the time that you need and there is no deadline for personal development. People who have reached certain “milestones” before you are not “better” than you; they are on their journeys, you are on yours.

i think we should all admit how lonely we are. then we should talk. it will all be okay if we risk being authentic

[tunisian]

loving a place means leaving a piece of your heart there. loving someone means leaving a piece of your heart with them. loving an object means your love is imbued with it. hope this helps

This is it: this is your sign. You’re brand new, refreshed, empowered to change. Your calmer, softer times are coming. Your confidence, your happiness, your bliss, is arriving. Self acceptance is easier, and taking care of yourself is no longer a chore, but something you look forward to. You start to feel replenished - you’re *you* again - and the next chapter of your happier life begins now.

When you feel like a failure

1. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone. There are SO MANY OTHERS who feel the same way, too. 2. Remember it’s a pattern and you often feel this way. You know your inner critic always seeks to bring you down! 3. Remind yourself you’re trying to make progress and to change. Your heart is in the right place – so be patient with yourself. 4. Forgive yourself for failing or for saying something stupid. Cut yourself some slack, forget it, let it go, and start again. 5. Try to spend time with people who accept you as you are, and who sees your strengths and good points, your potential, and true worth. 6. Don’t think about your failures. They are firmly in the past. Visualise yourself being someone that you’re proud of, and you like! 7. Be kind, and understanding and gentle with yourself. You’ll find you feel much better if you don’t demand so much.

you’re not selfish for wanting to be treated well
