i wish i didn’t spend so many years putting so much effort into hiding myself from the world i should probably go sit on a park bench or something idk!!!!!!
you can start learning anything you always wanted at any point in your life. & how nice it is to remember that
So much of this worldly experience is out of our hands but we can choose to be generous w our love and curious abt life and find pleasure and amusement and refuge in the patterns of our every day and support each other and care for our world and meet even those we don’t know w grace and patience and consideration and that these little qualities are in our control is not to be forgotten
please be nice to me, i'm in my twenties. do you know what that does to a person
There is no such thing as love, you say, there is no such thing as love. And you say it like this because it’s easier than saying if there is a thing as love then why does it elude me? If love really exists then why does nobody love me?
