I like dates. I like healthy communication. I like room to grow. I like quality time. I like reassurance. I like reciprocated energy.

“I TOOK CARE OF MYSELF and it wasn’t beautiful. I took care of myself and looked at the overdue bills in the face, even though it hurt. I took care of myself and cried ugly through the therapy session; made another appointment for next week. I put in the work and wrote all the bad memories in detail. I apologized to all the friends I didn’t have the energy to talk to. I finally cut off all my dead ends and bought produce; slimly avoided sustaining myself on barbecue chips and poetry. I recycled. I set an alarm for 8 hours of sleep and did not sleep more or less. I took care of myself and it wasn’t bubble baths. It wasn’t lotion at Bath and Bodyworks and three-cheese pizza. It was uncomfortable. It wasn’t beautiful, but I am, and it didn’t have to be beautiful to be worth it.”

my kink is seeing money go into my bank account

[yourorganicshoes]

do y’all ever think about “combat, i’m ready for combat...i’ve got a hundred thrown-out speeches i almost said to you” and then a year later “writing letters addressed to the fire...can’t remember what i used to fight for” and cry?

“Maybe, the only thing that has to make sense about being somebody’s friend is that you help them be their best self on any given day. That you give them a home when they don’t want to be in their own.”

Please remember that “your best” is yours to define. Life ain’t a competition.
