No one breaks your heart more than you do by overthinking every goddamn little thing

This is something that I am always, constantly having to remind myself of. In our flesh, we tend to think that God exists to bless us and give us the easiest life possible. But that is not the life that we are given. Christ calls us to pick up our cross and follow Him. In Philippians 3, Paul points out that as Christians we participate in the fellowship of His sufferings. We are going to go through hard times in this life, that is a given. But that does not mean that God isn’t there or that He doesn’t care or that He isn’t good. No matter what is going on in this world or in your life, God is good and the circumstances may not appear good in the moment, but know that your good, good Father is working something out for your own good, even when you cannot see it. 

“What do I love most about you? You make me laugh. God, you make me laugh. And I don’t mean a little chuckle or titter or giggle or snort. I mean the kind of laugh that commands and consumes you. The sort that booms and bellows and spreads like wildfire. The kind you can feel in your soul.”

— Beau Taplin

this is beautiful 

Relationships are about helping each other grow and that involves emotional labor on both parts both big and small things. If you know your partner has some sort of anxiety issue or w/e sending “hey i’ll be busy today i’ll text you when i can love you” will literally absolve so many issues in less than 30 seconds. But you freaks up here seem to think that caring about someone and catering to them (to a certain degree) is weird and unhealthy. And you wonder why you have no good relationships romantic or platonic.

Goodmorning

You’re cute and you’ll get out of any mess that you might currently be in soon !!!

hey there. tonight get some rest and have sweet dreams. you are lovely and you just gotta keep smiling. i’m so glad that you are in this world

i’m such an asshole but i’m also a very kind-hearted person who likes making ppl happy and if i love u i will love u with all my heart and all my soul but then i’m also such an asshole

Anyone: u ok Me; yeah just thinking about how I’ll never be this young again and about how most of my youth has been lost to depression loneliness and self doubt lol

I will never be ashamed of the way I love. I love wholeheartedly and passionately and that is a good thing. I will not change my free and forgiving heart because of past circumstances. I will not punish myself for my openness and willingness to love others. I will not apologize for how I love.

i hope the people you meet have the same heart as you. i hope they treat you like they should.

Sometimes you care for the ones who don’t know how to care back. Sometimes you pour your heart into someone who remains silent. Sometimes it hurts and you feel bad. Know that love is always greater. Know that it makes you strong to care, and not weak. Know that love impacts, and that there is more than what the eye can see. Don’t regret loving, for it is this that truly moves and shakes and brings to life, the very thread that runs in each of our beings and holds us together, it is and always has been at the core of our longing - whether one responds to it or not.

september will be kind. september will be magical. september will bring the missing energy. september will be working towards our goals and self. september will be a month full of growth.

No one will know the violence it took to become this gentle.

I used to think it was important to have common interests with the person that you are in a relationship with but now I think it is more important to be similar in other aspects. like how kind you are. how you treat the people you care about, how you treat strangers. how you deal with anger. how you deal with pain. and not necessarily dealing with all these things the same way but being perseptive enough to understand what action each situation calls for. it’s important for both people to be on the same page about what that action should be. it’s important to me to have that kind of synchrony.

read interesting books. listen to beautiful lyrics and melodies. write your own stories. go to concerts, parks and museums. study hard. take care of yourself. stay hydrated. learn to appreciate the little things. travel. learn a language. remind your friends that you’re there for them. be kind, and feel.
