choose a man who leads you from a place of love. a man who doesn’t let you be stressed. a man who knows you’re capable but always helps you so you can relax more. a man that makes you feel safe. a man whose love makes you glow.

no one will come to save you but some will offer you their hand to hold when life gets tough and those are the ppl that matter

maybe if you bundled yourself up and went for a walk out in the cold then came back inside with rosy cheeks and cool skin and warmed yourself up with a nice warm cup of herbal tea with honey maybe then you'd calm down

[ladies-of-fortune]

Life doesn’t have to be so complicated. Go outside for a walk—no need to stress about hitting 10k steps. You still got fresh air and sunlight. Head to the gym and do just two exercises because you’re not in the mood to go all out. You still showed up. Read a single page and call it a day because your eyes are too tired to focus. You still read something.

Do something badly, knowing full well you’ll mess it up—because that’s part of the road to mastery. No one is perfect 100% of the time. Life is full of half-hearted attempts before something great can happen.

“I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days. And thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.”
