no drug could ever hit as hard as that feeling when u look up and see the moon and stars on a really clear summer night

this year will be wonderful. you will meet new people who will feel like sunlight. someone out there will be lucky enough to meet you. you will see breathtaking views. you will learn so much knowledge from your studies and gain so much wisdom. there will be bad days but you will heal and start again in the morning. you will discover what makes you happy. you will fill up journals with scribbles and messy drawings. you will feel low and make mistakes but they will help you become a stronger person. you will pick up new things that give your life meaning and you will pour your heart into it. you will find songs that speak to you more than anything else in the world. you will grow. this year is waiting for you and it’s beautiful.

Honestly sometimes you want things to work out and it doesn’t and time passes and you look back and understood why it didn’t happen then. The universe or whatever you believe in, is always looking out for the best for you so mourn but move on. There are better things ahead always.

wish i was a dew drop on a rose leaf. everything would feel so much quieter then.

i think all i want is someone who sees poetry in me the way i see poetry in them.

i love when strangers smile at me and i smile back and we have that nice stranger smiling moment

maybe if we, as a society, spent more time in gardens things wouldn’t be like this

not wanting to be vulnerable is a clear sign you need to be, whether that be with another or with yourself

need to learn to not depend on other people for happiness

remind your friends that you love them if you don’t do it enough

visualize your ideal self, then start acting like her

respect your body when it’s asking for a break. respect your mind it’s seeking to rest. honor yourself when you need a moment.

if something makes you go ’!!!!’ inside it’s worth keeping around

some of the best days of your life haven’t happened yet. there will be moments that come and sweep you off your feet, you’ll be caught off guard. trust in this. trust that one day you will look back and be amazed at how far you have come.

it is okay to gasp at the sunset every single evening like it is the first sunset you have ever seen. it is okay to take photos of everything you find pretty. it is okay to laugh about something that happened a week ago (it is okay to laugh entirely too much). it is okay to say that the sunlight looks like honey, that the world looks like a dream today. it is okay to memorize poems by heart and recite them to people who make your heart feel warm. it is okay to take this life and weave it golden. don’t let anyone tell you that you are silly or dramatic or stupid. you are beautiful. you have beautiful eyes through which everything sparkles and nothing goes unnoticed and you are so loved for that.
