Someone who sees you deeply without confusing you for the walls you made to protect and hide yourself. Someone who can find you.

The real glo up is when you stop waiting to turn into some perfect hypothetical version of yourself and consciously enjoy being who you are in the present moment.
eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay

I hope you all receive good news this week that makes your heart feel a little lighter & your dreams more within reach
one of the reasons why "what if people went on a road trip and it was weird" is one of the oldest story types is that a lot of sense of personhood has been, historically, tied to place. the weird road trip says "what if we went somewhere else, where no one knows us, and tried out being a different person".
Odysseus, the famous liar, goes on a weird road trip & over the course of it becomes several different people, and then comes home & is all those people as well as himself, wearing the echoes of those other people
What’s that quote? There are only two kinds of stories: a man goes on a journey, or a stranger comes to town.
five recipes for an exciting life (in my opinion)
- spending enough time creating things with your hands (baking, drawing, scrapbooking, doodling, crocheting, journaling and so on)
- keeping track of things like pretty skies, milestones, happy memories, appointments you're looking forward to
- listening to music that genuinely makes you feel happy and energetic
- making a habit of reaching out to people in a way that's comfortable to you (i send my dad songs he might like, my friend sends me monthly life updates)
- being kind to all your five senses → like investing in a scented candle or essential oil dispenser or body mist, having a soft blanket or socks (or a soft animal to pet), listening to birdsong or the rain, looking at the sky more often, and having your favorite foods enough times

i love typing out long ass oversharing personal posts than immediately deleting them. get back in my brain boy
the jump from “someone should do this” to “I should do this” is scary, but oh so worth it in the end
