Learn to Love the Life You Live

[shmwrites]

be the person you wish someone else would be for you. get up early so you can go get your coffee from your favourite coffee shop on your way to work. pick yourself back up when you fall down. be soft and guide yourself out of the dark places you fall into within your mind. stop waiting for someone else to come into your life before you start living it. stop assuming that being single is a storm that you have to wait out until someone comes along to pull you out of it. get to know yourself. learn to enjoy spending time by yourself. be so in love with the life you have made for yourself, so that when someone does come along, you’ll have no doubts about whether you’re in love with them or in love with the idea of not being alone. because being alone won’t frighten you anymore. because you’ll know that being alone will be better than being with the wrong person. because you’ll have learned that being alone will help you choose the person who’s right for your heart. and after everything you’ve overcome, that’s what you deserve.

Milk and honey “Outlook”

I REALLY HATE when I’m talking about my desire for romantic love and someone says, “well love yourself.” Like shut the fuck up. Self love and romantic love do not replace each other. They do not fill the same void. And just because I wish there was someone in my life that made me feel special, doesn’t mean I don’t think I’M special. Fuck your projections. Regardless of HOW MUCH you love yourself, it doesn’t replace the energy, strength, commitment, and love that can come from another. As a general note, my feelings aren’t up for debate. I just wanted to vent.

Is this person going to be someone I still laugh with?

Or am I just distracted by their charm.

I don’t want to be distracted by the looks or the money, I want to know if they pull the best or the worst out of me deep at the core, are our values still the same?

in your 20’s find a balance between hustle & rest. you don’t need to have a love life or a soulmate figured out. go travel the world. battle your demons. set up a business, find people who value your heart & yours will attract. don’t live in the past, you have so much more to see

“It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you, and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story you free yourself, and you give other people permission to acknowledge their story as well.”

People love to come back to me once they figure out that my aura, personality, energy, and love is one of a kind. Trust, you won’t find me or the way we meshed in any replacement. I’m unmatched. Period.

“You wanna know what living life to the fullest actually is? It’s waking up on a Monday morning with no complaints. It’s knowing you always deserve to laugh. It’s doing what feels right no matter what. It’s doing what you want to, no matter how stupid you look. It’s about being yourself, ‘cause no one can tell you you’re doing it wrong.”

Japan is so beautiful

You will notice that ,once you’re more in tune with yourself, your emotions, and your self esteem, certain people in your life are toxic.

You will notice their lack of genuine care for you.

Their lack of respect for your priorities and time.

Their lack of respect for your privacy and vulnerability.

Most of all, you will notice they have come to be that way because you were weak before. You attracted these people who did not love or respect you because you did not love or respect yourself.

You will be able to attract genuine, loyal, and positive people once you become that yourself.  

Be kind, be nice, and be generous but do so with the full acknowledgment of your own importance. 

Your self worth determines all areas in your life.

self-confidence, i’m realizing, is a lot deeper than just thinking i’m beautiful and being free in who i am. it also includes being confident in my decisions and trusting myself to be committed to the things i want to do. to step outside of my comfort zone and assure myself that i will be okay in doing so. this kind of self-confidence will help me see the success i want to see.

honestly the best feeling ever is realizing you’re not sad anymore over something you thought you would never get over

Late night thoughts.

I just came to a realization how tainted social media has made love look. I’ve always been the one to look for love, the one, or even a soulmate. As I scroll through I see all these beautiful and wonderful relationships but little do I know it’s all for a show. It made me realize that my idea of love is completely unrealistic due to everything I’ve seen growing up. I hate to admit it but I depend on relationships and thrive on love. I look at myself in the mirror and don’t even know who I am anymore because I’ve always been with someone and lost who I am as an individual. It’s always easier said than done, but somethings gotta give and I need change. I need to LOVE me.
