This really is my life and i will make it beautiful
you’re working in a field you genuinely enjoy. you have supportive, loving friends. you follow your passions, you’re fluent in your target languages. the 12 new books you ordered will arrive soon. your flat is cozy, decorated with plants and fairy lights. you’re happy. this might seem like some fantasty, but i know this will happen. i believe in you, and you should as well.
Love is literally the softest, gentle and warming experience. Stop letting people tell you that love is supposed to hurt.
feels like every few weeks I have to relearn how to exist, that I do need to sit in the sun and move my body and not drink too much coffee and dress in clothes that make me feel good and talk to my friends and journal and get off my phone sometimes and eat vegetables and drink more tea and generally reclaim the space in my life for myself ya know
you want love, give yourself love
you want happiness, give yourself happiness
you want respect, give yourself respect
you want loyalty, give yourself loyalty
you want peace, give yourself peace
you want joy, give yourself joy
you want abundance, give yourself abundance
you want pleasure, give yourself pleasure
you want gifts, give yourself gifts
you want attention, give yourself attention
you want admiration, give yourself admiration
you attract what you want by becoming it
Don't sabotage your identity trying to name it. Let it be undefined, permeable, mixed, peculiar, unapologetically authentic. Be in peace with being unprecedented, with not fitting anywhere, with being adrift. Before flight, there's a free fall.
I wanna make you soooOOOOOooo happy that you don’t even know what to do with all the happiness
whatever was left, that was ours for a while.

a big part of being happy is being excited. be excited for everything - making a cup of tea, decorating your future apartment, seeing a friend again, falling in love unexpectedly, the next episode of a show you like, finishing something stressful, buying something you’ve been saving up for, a new album, sunsets, traveling, road trips, and the feeling of going to bed after a long day. think of something to be excited about and daydream about it often when you’re sad.
