“We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.”

— Thomas Moore

Disneyland during rain, or fog, or darkness is my favorite, it truly looks like a hazy dream.

This has to be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

reminders

“you are allowed to be proud of the little things you achieve; like becoming better in a video game, baking really good pancakes or just getting out of bed today - not everything you do has to be world changing” - @gentle-reminder

“Don’t ever do something simply because someone else forces you into it. At times, people may try to make you do things that you may not want to do. However, you must respect yourself and only contribute to what you feel comfortable with doing.” - @thepowerwithin

“There will be other tests. Other assignments. Other jobs. But there might not be another chance to dance with your sister on her wedding day. You may never get another opportunity to sing along to all your favourite songs at a concert. There are no guarantees. So, forget the test. Miss the assignment. Skip the work day. Life isn’t made by those things. It’s made by living. By experiencing and enjoying every thing we can while we’re still here.” - @ifthenightcouldtalk

“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” - @psychofactz

I have so so so many more tips that I’d love to share, so perhaps I’ll make a part two next month aimed at a different audience, who knows? In the meantime feel free to ask me for advice or send me a message if you ever need anything! I’ll leave you with a sweet little meditation gif below :3

Much love xx -wil

““I know you want more. But I can’t give you more than my body.” She said while he sat on the edge of her bed his back turned to her. “I know.” He simply responded as he put his shirt on. “I never asked for more.” He said while turning around to face her. She looked sleep deprived. “Yes.” She said with a weak smile. “But your eyes say something different. Your movements tell something different. They tell a story of their own. Of desiring affection that transcends physical pleasure. And I can’t give this to you.” She breathly closed her eyes and then opened them again. “I can hear you saying I love you when you believe that I’m asleep.” He wanted to say something but then she interrupted him by saying “No, listen. Let me, let me speak. Perhaps I like you. Perhaps I like you even a lot.” She paused as tears fell down her cheek. “But I’m not. It’s not worth it.” She said under sobs. “I will push you and push you away and until you’re against a wall and can’t do anything than pushing me out of your way to the floor. You will hurt me because I hurt you that you have to hurt me in order to breath and move again. And then and then you will hate me and I won’t feel your body next to mine anymore. I will just be lonely again. And I can’t be lonely again. ” She concluded while brushing her tears away. “But what if it works?” He asked while coming closer to her. “What if it works? Then you would never have to be lonely again.” He said while pulling her against his chest. “Then I would never have to leave again in the morning.” He hated seeing her defeated by her own thoughts. “I love you.” He hummed into her ear before kissing her forehead. “I let you push me against every wall as long as you don’t leave me.” He said. “I never left you before.” She said while a hiccup escaped her mouth. “ He laughed. “Yes, I know, the leaving part belongs to me.” She hiccuped again. “Should I get you a glass of water?” She nodded. “I love you.” She hiccuped again looking up to him. “ I love you.” He replied while smiling and then he gave her a quick kiss on her lips.”

Can I have Christmas at Hogwarts? 

[hello-christmas]

❄️🎄 The place for all things Christmas🎄❄️

[listlesslylistening]

1. When you’re in high school, worried and anxious, know that everyone feels the same. Everyone is waiting to be judged by invisible people.

2. You’re enough.

3. There are days where your mirror and camera will lie to you. Try not to listen to them. You’re freaking beautiful.

4. Nobody can make you feel bad, worthless, ashamed. You give them that power.

5. College won’t be anything like high school. You’ll fail tests you actually studied for. You’ll want nothing more than to drop out. Don’t drop out.

6. Heartbreak and loss. It’s going to happen. It’ll feel like you’ve been blindsided, like you’ve lost your reason. You’ll survive. You’ll be roughed up, but you’ll survive.

7. Talk to your family. They don’t always deserve your time, but you’ll regret the times they did and you let it pass.

8. Stop being so damn stubborn. That pride is going to ruin us.

9. Step out of your comfort zone. You’re only there because you feel safe. Be free, be happy, not just safe. You’re afraid of falling, but the fall is the best part.

10. Everything will be okay. You’ll be okay. There’s going to be a time where the pits in your stomach will unknot, where the weights on your chest will be lifted. You won’t want to stay in your room. You won’t be afraid. You just have to make it there.
