who else mourning the person they could've been if they were treated kindly as a child
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.
i mean this completely seriously but… a cup of coffee can save your life a little, a shower can save your life a little, making your favorite meal can save your life a little…….little things actually add up to really big things in the long run if you let them, the secret to surviving everyday is infusing a little bit of magic into the mundane i truly believe that
You gain nothing in doubting. Not a thing. Believe in yourself. Always. Forever. That’s the only way forward. Radical self-love and unwavering self-esteem.
This summer is going to bring healing, heightened intuition, extreme clarity, substantial growth and genuine happiness.

been thinking a lot about anticipatory grief lately. i love you so much that i know losing you will devastate me. i haven't lost you yet but i already miss you. we still have time, but it won't be enough. i think about what i would say at your funeral, and say some of it to you now cause i need you to know how loved you are before you go. you will go where i cannot follow, but you will never really leave me. it won't make it hurt less but it is a part of healing somehow.
shoutout to me in 5 years. i bet she’s doing amazing and i am rooting for her.

oh my god. most of life really is about the little things. a good haircut, a nice playlist, trying a new recipe that turns out well, a poem that hits home, a comfortable spot in the sun, spontaneous messages, a pen you enjoy writing with, tea with the right temperature to drink, buying that thing you’ve been eyeing for a while, a warm bed. yeah im so grateful for the little enjoyments
"What do you need to know about Tokyo? Deep, deep waters. The first time I came here, it was a transformative experience. It was a powerful and violent experience. It was just like taking acid for the first time-meaning, What do I do now? I see the whole world in a different way.
I often compare the experience of going to Japan for the first time, going to Tokyo for the first time, to what Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend-the reigning guitar gods of England-must have gone through the week that Jimi Hendrix came to town.
You hear about it. You go see it. A whole window opens up into a whole new thing. And you think, What does this mean? What do I have left to say? What do I do now?"

best fucking hozier lyrics in no particular order
- we tried the world, good god, it wasn't for us
- i slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door
- after the foxes have known our taste, i'll be home with you, i'll be home with you
- no grave can hold my body down, i'll crawl home to her
- why were you digging, what did you bury, before those hands pulled me from the earth?
- my dearest love, i'm not done yet
- who could ask to be unbroken or be brave again?
- whatever here that's left of me is yours just as it was
- remember me love, when i'm reborn as the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
- i'd be the dreadful need in the devotee that made him turn around, and i'd be the immediate forgiveness in eurydice
- be like the love that discovered sin, but freed the first man and will do so again
- be that hopeful feeling when eden was lost, that's been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed
- love, when the sea rises to meet us, oh, and there's nothing left for you and i to do
- true that i saw her hair like the branch of a tree, willow dancing on air before covering me
- and i love, too, that love soon might end, be known in its aching
- be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
- the last time i felt your weight on my chest, you said "we didn't get it right, but love, we did our best"
- and just knowing that everything will end should not change our plans
- i would still be surprised i could find you, darling, in any life; if i could hold you for a minute, darling, i would do it again
- heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i
despite everything …. I’m grateful I got a chance to be alive… to experience love and good food and sunsets. isn’t that the point of it all really
