“what’s yours will be yours. No need to rush. No need to feel anxious. All good things take time. And when it does come, your heart will be so grateful. Give it time. Rest your mind. And enjoy the present moments..”

“So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered. I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad.”

do the silly thing. if you do not do the silly thing time will pass and it will not be the same silly thing it could have been. it will still be silly, and it will still be yours, but it will not be the same. this is both a blessing and a curse, but so is living; and if you do not do it now when will you? who will? it has to be you, it was always meant for you, waiting for you.

I love doing nothing, what I don't love is the inevitable overthinking that comes with doing nothing

reminder that it’s okay to still feel bad sometimes even if you’re doing “better.” it’s okay to feel out of control when things are going “right.” and it’s okay to still seek support even if it doesn’t look like you “need” it.

“And you tried to change, didn’t you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake… You can’t make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.”

Yes, you're supposed to venture outside your comfort zone - but you're not supposed to give it up. You are allowed to return to it to rest and recharge as needed. Comfort is an integral part of growing and healing, not something you're ever supposed to stop letting yourself experience

Remember that the right person will never get tired of you even in the worst times

No, they will! But they'll work through it, or walk away for a bit (i'm talking minutes to hours) and then come back.

People can love you and still need to get away from you for a bit. And there is nothing toxic about that — it's good, in fact. It helps remind everyone involved that everyone has boundaries, and everyone needs time to themselves.

It's okay. Calm down before you talk about something that made you angry while your loved one is sick. Be sure of what made you mad so you can discuss it together.

Love isn't a one-way street, and it's something that takes work. Part of that work is knowing when you need to step away.

Yes! I love this add on.

yes, your insecurities are genuine— but don’t believe everything you think. Be aware of where exactly they are coming from, and you might start to take parts of that critical internal dialogue less seriously. You’re much too hard on yourself: how others perceive you is probably entirely different from how you perceive yourself. Be kind to yourself; you’re allowed to love and care for yourself before you’ve “fixed” everything. Let yourself be at peace. I love you.

Your body deserves love when:

You are healthy and active.

You are sick and recovering.

You are feeling emotional and lost.

You feel like you are failing at getting better.

You are relapsing.

You are falling back into bad habits.

Your body is loveable and worthy in every state, my love.

I wanted to tell you that wherever I am, whatever happens, I’ll always think of you, and the time we spent together, as my happiest time. I’d do it all over again, if I had the choice. No regrets.
