I love therapy

[surqrised]

“That is why I write — to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.”

— Paulo Coelho

[surqrised]

“Being alone never felt right. Sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right.”

— Charles Bukowski

[surqrised]

“A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever.”

love will make the simplest of moments feel monumental

[surqrised]

“Time is irreversible, because some things are only meant to be felt once. Mistakes are vital in the process of being human, fortunately for us, there is hope; a possibility that if we’re given that moment again, chances are we’ll do it right.”

— Ekta Somera

please prioritize your own health and happiness even when it is inconvenient for others

[restlesslisa]

I was on a roll two weeks ago. I had just turned 21, started strength training, quit my job to focus on university and I was so ready to take on anything life threw at me.

Three days later, I was out of my own home, frantically looking for a roof over my head, and back to dealing with nothing but my trauma.

Life can throw fucking curveballs at you. You’ll never see them coming. You’ll think you’re doing great. And then you’re wondering where the hell you let it all slip.

By all means, grieve. Hurt. Sulk. Question. Sit immersed in the tiresome shroud that life has gifted you with.

But never forget to prioritize your healing, eventually.

Because it’ll all be over soon. Because the sun rises again, every single fucking day.

Because in the midst of the chaos. In the ocean of unpredictable waves, you will find one certainty

life gives you endless second chances. whether you like it or not. you have another try.

Use them. Always.

this is a reminder to never give up on yourself

be it:

drinking water even if you arent thirsty

never skipping a meal even if you’re not hungry

exercising even when there’s such little motivation

celebrating the little things no one else might understand

always clocking back into therapy

and anything else that you do, only for you.

keep doing those things. you deserve it.

What is the fine line between having healthy boundaries and being inconsiderate?

[restlesslisa]

I find it so strange how deeply rooted in my conscience, are very detailed memories of people who are no longer in my life anymore

I removed my ex completely from my life

But the things I couldn’t remove are

Memories of us dancing around in his dusty halls

Random arguments where I could’ve stood my ground better

Moments where I wished I had listened to myself

And weirdly, little details that only pertained to us

People leave

but it’s funny how the memories don’t

[96l]

just wait, good things take time.

we should treat love as something to be built rather than found

[surqrised]

“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”

— Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby
