#something i've learned

[surrealpheal]

you know they always say that they're introverts, homebodies that never leave the house, never want to leave the house etc. and I'm not saying that's not true to a certain extent. but it's also very easy to lean into that when there's a major source of anxiety or fear in the outside world. and when that disappears or lessens, your world really can open up. and you're able to explore and figure out what it is you really want. what it is you enjoy. like detached from the fear. it just makes my heart burst seeing them on dates just out and about all the time because it really does seem like it's something they would have liked to have been doing the whole time :')

i have a p high body count which like i don’t mind at all tbh but i think if i had gone into it knowing that i’m creating a bond with people, it wouldn’t be that high.

like there’s no need to take it SO seriously but i do think there should just fundamentally be love the core of it. whether u want to do anything else w that love than fuck is your own business but the sex itself should be loving

i’ve had a lot of sex that wasn’t loving & it’s always the worst!!! and i mean i wasn’t affected negatively because i was very... research minded about it like “oh that’s how that feels” and not worried too much but I do think nobody talked to me abt & even if they had i might no have believed them bc we are literally peddled this idea of the hoe phase, and about casual sex & about how like you can have sex without feelings

I think you can have sex without attachment but having sex without feelings? like why? just use a dildo don’t use another person like that!

you know a lot of ‘having a good day’ is within yourself. it’s not depending on other to make sure you have a good time. it’s you putting one foot in front of the other and saying, ‘hey...this is in my hands. i get to decide whether or not i’m going to enjoy myself, and i’m gonna make the things i want to do happen.”

Strength isn't always loud

Strength can be quiet, and subtle. Strength can look like not visibly reacting to a spider, even though you're screaming inside, or strength can look like staring into space while you relive your worst memory as vividly as you can, just to let yourself know you survived it once, so you can survive it again. Strength is personal.

Sometimes you have to look at the context not the person

[dirty-diamondss]

Listen to your gut feeling. Wether it be good or bad, listen to it. You're feeling it for a reason.
