here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through.

@ girls stop apologizing for your appearance. “sorry I’m not wearing make up today”, “sorry my hair is a mess” like who cares if you go out looking like a gremlin you don’t have to be pretty 24/7 and you don’t have to apologize for not putting effort into your appearance yall are still valid

you can't waste your life btw it's just not something that's possible to do. your mere existence is already a precious and valuable use of your time. the time you spent becoming who you are now was inherently worthwhile

You will never run out of new things to love. People, music, books, places, food, movies, hobbies... Your entire life, you will keep finding new sources of joy.

oh to be standing next to a stranger, staring at the same painting in an art museum, an unspoken romance between us

things i realized in therapy:

i am allowed to be angry with people when they hurt me, even if they are sensitive and cant cope well with being told they did something wrong. their sensitivity does not mean i have to bottle up my feelings & their lack of coping skills does not make me expressing my anger abusive.

shocking, i know. truly shocking.

Feeling tired doesn't make you weak, needing rest doesn't make you weak, these only mean you are human and that you need a break. Don't feel guilty or ashamed for taking that break and make sure to rest for as long as you need.

I've been thinking a lot about emotions lately while listening to Brene Brown's book "Atlas of the Heart" (which I highly recommend) and after watching Pixar's "Turning Red" (which I loved!). This strategy for greeting emotions gently instead of trying to push them away I learned from Dr. Becky Kennedy, and it's been very helpful to me over the past few months as I try to be more aware of the feelings I'm having and learn from them, rather than being overwhelmed by them or trying to just bury them in the name of "positive thinking." I hope something here is helpful for you too. ❤️
