A man today will text you “Talk to you later” but to Anaïs, Henry wrote “I can’t see how I can go on living away from you — these intermissions are death. I feel somehow that it is a disgrace to do nothing, to just bide one's time, to take it philosophically, to be sensible. Where has gone the time when men fought, killed, died for a glove, a glance, etc?”
“Marilyn had a never-ending thirst for knowledge and self-improvement. She loved poetry and music and was instinctively drawn to culture, to all the arts, but money and power were not to be gained by coercion; especially not when applied to Marilyn. She would flit off like a butterfly. I remember her saying. ‘If they aren't going to be fair and nice, I can always leave. I can get by on very little. After all, I've done it before.’”
— Jane Russell on Marilyn Monroe
slow down and be gentle, it’s okay
give yourself some time to breathe
so many of you guys do not cut yourselves a break, a lot of the times you guys punish yourselves for not doing it “perfectly” or you compare yourself to a blogger/ a person whether thats online or offline, i just want to tell you that whether you believe it or not, you do not have to punish yourself. you dont have to constantly criticise yourself.
this is a journey, we are going to go back and spiral, we are going to go back on the old story, we are going to confuse ourselves, we are going to overconsume, we are going to overcomplicate. thats just a part of it. so many of us have experienced it, its so common.
but when those things happen— lets not demonise it and label it as something we should punish ourselves for. lets look back on it. accept that we have done that thing & treat it lightly.
instead when we come across those issues, become aware of it, be kinder to yourself and see what you can do better.
“DO NOT BLAME ONLY RESOLVE” — Neville Goddard.
as neville said, do not blame yourself! there is no reason to blame yourself, there is no reason to hate yourself.
one thing that will never ever work is being toxic to yourself. this whole “toxic motivation” this whole mindset curated by a greed-hungry capitalists on tiktok where we need to be constantly grinding and motivated and doing 281919 things yeah its gonna end up in burnout.
we do not flourish out of self-hate

I feel at peace knowing that the best is yet to come. I don’t mind if I look foolish or unhinged for blindly believing so. But what I know is that all the traumas and heartaches that I’ve experienced cannot be in vain.
As if you wouldn't know the answer, you search for it outside of you. You want proof. You want another to tell you what you want or need to hear. The answer is no, if you doubt it. & if you want it to be a yes you will have to gather the courage & go for it. You have to start listening to yourself & what your body tells you. You have to trust your instincts & find out where it takes you, if you follow your heart. You may be directed to different places than expected, but your heart will lead you to where it beats in harmony with. The first step is that you trust your yes & your no, & even if you get it wrong, you will get it so rightly afterwards. The only mistake one can make is to search for things where they can't be found, but one day it will become so clear what is needed, it cannot be overheard, overseen or overfelt. Take this one step. Show yourself that you can rely on yourself & you will be able to open up for what your precious heart wishes to experience in this precious life. It is here now, if one is willing to open up & be.
