Modern Love | 2.03 Strangers on a (Dublin) Train
People be loving you based on the calmness you bring to them the weight you take of their shoulders... the distraction ect … never really about who you are without having to give anything other than just being
your will to love someone shouldn’t always come with benefits, people only value you when you’re of use to them.
& I still stand on this.
The positives of ‘putting yourself out there’ are worth it. Having a great conversation with a stranger will be worth the awkwardness of starting that exact conversation. Joining a small community of people you will see regularly is worth having to get through a scary first day. Getting your dream job is worth the scariness of chasing it. Don’t pick and choose experiences based on the level of ease now, but choose them based on how you want to come out of them.
you don’t talk too much. you aren’t too loud. you aren’t too needy. you aren’t too sensitive. you aren’t too this, or that. you aren’t too much anything. you will never be too much: you are you, and you are allowed to take up space. you are allowed to exist however you choose.

Heal, so you can recognize genuine relationships with pure intentions when they show up without sabotaging them.
Heal, so you can recognize toxic relationships with bad intentions when they show up and not invest in them.
I am a firm believer that you can’t ruin anything that is for you. But anything that is not for you, can ruin you.
Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
