Go beyond here

— Nicole Addison @thepowerwithin

really just want to live a quiet life with quiet, genuine, humble people. not interested in loud people or dramatic situations. just want peace, and the sun, and tenderness, and warmth.

this is a very fifth eye open galaxy brain mood

today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:

“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.

me to me: you stress me out

Don’t be afraid to destroy men’s lives over crimes they chose to commit.

LOUDER

sis... your education, career, and money will never wake up one day and decide to leave you

Going to participate in this challenge. I don’t think that I will be able to read the books in order. Maybe I will just tick the books that I have read or re-read as the year goes along.

Dear young females, if a man ever interrupts you say “excuse me I wasn’t finished.” and finish ur statement. The looks u get and his mortified reaction will make u unstoppable. demand respect.

Bringing back this prime advice

Also, when a guy hijacks your discussion and starts over-explaining things that you’d previously stated (I see this a lot in academic settings), just pause, and when they expectantly wait for your reaction - deadpan  - “So did you have a specific question, or did you just need the clarification?” *que the slight head tilt*

works wonders, I tell ya.  

I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.

I NEEDED THIS SO BADLY

This. This everyday. I need this everyday.

I find the concept of growing in love so much prettier than love at first sight?? like one day you look at someone and you suddenly realize you see them in a different light than you did the night before. that’s falling.
