you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.
“No one is too good for you. It all depends on the kind of attraction. You can be desired for your looks, status, or the size of your bank account, but when you are desired for you— your heart, your soul, the way your mind works, nothing else matters. Spiritual connection surpasses all else.“”
— Beau Taplin
“Feeling alone has nothing to do with how many people there are around you.”
— Unknown
“My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.”
— Maya Angelou
“I’ve wasted a lot of time in my life. I’ve thought too much about what people will say or what they’re gonna think. And sometimes it’s over silly things like going to the grocery store or going to the post office. But there have been times when I really stopped myself from doing something special. All because I was scared someone might look at me and decide I wasn’t good enough. But you don’t have to bother with that nonsense. I wasted all that time so you don’t have to.”
— Julie Murphy, Dumplin’
“My alone feels so good. I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.”
— Warsan Shire
“I like when I don’t have to be careful what I say. That’s when you know you’re with the right people.”
— Unknown
“The world tells you many lies about who you are, and you simply have to be realistic enough to remind yourself of this. Every time you feel hurt, offended, or rejected, you have to dare to say to yourself: ‘These feelings, strong as they may be, are not telling me the truth about myself.”
— Henri Nouwen

i really fought off the bad vibes and menacing sunshine today.
self-serving, arrogant, pretentious, controlling, stubborn, inconsistent, morally grey... gorgeous, modest, compassionate, genius, honest, kind, reliable, rare human being.
i’ll take the positive and not so positive adjectives about me in stride.
And now I can post this shoot that I looked like a magical fairy or something like that 🧚🏾♀️
Beer must’ve been wild for the people who first discovered it. First their grains got ruined, then they tried to salvage it by drinking the water, and before you know it, they’re singing Piano Man with their arms wrapped around each other
this love will be the death of me

“Paramos, respiramos, tomamos balanço e avançamos. Sem hesitações, sem medos, porque estamos TODOS juntos. Somos uma equipa, somos colegas, somos amigos. Continuemos, juntos, sem medos, “I’ve got your back” - não tem tradução literal, mas diz tudo. Hoje, amanhã e para sempre. “
“We stop, we breath, we move forward. Without hesitation or fear because we´re ALL together. We´re a team, colegues, we´re friends. Together, united, without fears. I´ve got your back.”
