date someone who will sit down and say “let’s fix this” instead of being a child and ignoring you.

start working out now. make that hair dresser appointment now. let your next meal be the healthiest you’ve ever eaten. move the furniture in your room right now. text that old friend or crush. make a new playlist. go on a run. open a window. it doesn’t matter what you do, no matter how big or small change is; change is change. and it will always, always, always help you to turn your life around and clear your head. it gives you that boost, that confidence to be a better version of yourself, no matter the impact it has.

also a poem from the new, unreleased collection. very possibly my own all-time favourite.

I don’t wanna jinx it but we haven’t had a spring like this in so long… it feels like the ones we used to have in childhood

“I withdraw from people and places from time to time. I need space from a world that is filled with millions of mouths that talk too much, and never have anything to say.”

you’re going to love again, find a job again, create art again, do what you love again, feel powerful again. you’re going to be back on track. i don’t know when, but you are going to feel like yourself again, eventually. this isn’t the end. hang in there.

“Your work is not only books and pictures. They are but bits of it. Your work is You, not less than you, not parts of you… These days when you “cannot work” are accomplishing it, are of it, like the days when you “can work.” There is no division. It is all one. Your living is all of it; anything less is part of it. — Your silence will be read with your writings some day, your darkness will be part of the Light.”

— Mary Elizabeth Haskell in her letter to Kahlil Gibran, Beloved Prophet: The Love Letters of Kahlil Gibran and Mary Haskell, and Her Private Journal

GUIDELINES FOR BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP

Don’t assign blame when you’re in conflict

Don’t keep score on your partner

Speak for yourself using “I” statements instead of “you” statements

Don’t argue perceptions or facts

Don’t threaten abandonment in the face of conflict

Communicate in four sentences or less

Repeat what you hear them saying to make sure you heard it right BEFORE responding

Avoid critical remarks, blaming the other, or justifying your actions

Don’t worry about whether your partner is adhering to these guidelines–take sole responsibility for yourself and hold yourself accountable to healthy communication.
