you get in relationships and LEARN how to love your partner. y’all go into it thinking y’all know exactly what to do and how the person needs to be loved. and that’s why it don’t last.

it can be tempting to live your life like a prequel. to live as if you’re setting up your own story.and once you lose the weight, once you have the money, once you graduate school, once you’re in a real relationship, once, once, once. then finally, you’ll begin to live, and everything you do up until that point is some kind of half-life, some unimportant foreword you can skip. don’t do this. inhabit your life completely. sink fully into the wealth of your existence. the power to manifest is in the fearless owning of who you are, so that you can shape where you’re going.

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

[cerencia]

i know people have said it a hundred times before but life really is all about the beauty and art in small things. like noticing someone else’s favorite place to be touched, the smell of candles, eating berries out of your own garden, talking with your grandparents, how people decorate their room, different kinds of trees and plants and flowers, little doodles people draw on the side of their notebooks, having a moment like in a movie, a productive day, the excitement of getting something brand new, finding something old, the feeling after stretching, mindlessly stroking your partners back, that really good part of a song, putting on your favorite perfume, making out, seeing a rainbow and so much more. all of these little things are art and it’s your choice to notice them and let you change your perspective of life. because this is what life is all about. ✨

““You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.””
