A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.

one of the best feelings is knowing that you’re wanted. knowing that someone wants to talk to you, wants to know how you’re doing, wants to see you.

How to feel like a person?
dont live with your mom
It breaks my heart knowing there are so many beautiful souls out there questioning their worth because someone they loved made them feel unloveable.
you don’t have to be perfect at anything to live a good life; if you’re intent on perfection you will never live a life that’s good enough in your eyes
when you make an effort, you make mistakes. that’s just how it is and there’s no shame in it
“I was always ashamed to take. So I gave. It was not a virtue. It was a disguise.”
