Real recognizes real.

- Cinema Paradiso (1988)

— 10 word story (s.s)

as you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.

*busy becoming a better me*

look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you 

‪Honest, raw, real communication changes everything. Get it out. Unburden yourself. Say what you feel.‬

your life can look so different, so much better, in just a few months. keep going.

distance yourself for a bit, you’ll realize a lot

never let your loneliness drive you back to toxic people

dont relate songs to people because one day you’ll hear it again & wanna punch a wall

you can still radiate light if you’re sad. you can still be kind and soft-hearted if you’re a bit cynical. you don’t need to be the happiest person to make someone else’s day better.

it’s so disturbing to think back and realize the stuff you allowed people to do to you simply because you didn’t respect yourself enough to not let it happen

do yourself a favor & don’t give a shit about what people think of you
