the hardest part of being in a world so full of distractions is to have a quiet moment to yourself; to ask yourself what you truly need, and often, the need isn’t something that can be found in immediate gratification or social media. it’s something that comes from quiet moments: conversations with the inner child, creating anything, deep appreciation for things often overlooked, such as household objects, sounds of the rain, homemade meals; it comes from observing nature, noticing unspoken love everywhere, kindness without any expectations, settling into yourself like settling into a home, and cherishing the people who reciprocate, willingly & wholeheartedly ♡
