hello august,
I hope you will be filled with love and kindness towards myself, with bravery to do things i want to do, with passion towards new hobbies, with laughs, with smiles and happiness and you will just be kind to me.

“Sometimes my heart feels too big for my body so I try to throw it away Or give it away […] When I say I love you, what I mean is today my world exploded into a million shards of granite and there you were, beaming There you were refracting the sun into a perfect star”
— William James, from “[I’m done trying to make sense],” The Shore (no. 12, Winter 2021)
"لم يكن لدي رغبة أن يعرف أحد شيئاً عما عانيته - من ناحية ، أملك رغبة في الاعتراف ، البوح ، و من ناحية أخرى - أشعر بأنني أتعرى ، وهذا ما لم أرغب به".
- سفيتلانا أليكسييفيتش
practice forgiving yourself as often as possible. it does wonders once you really learn to move past things you dislike about your past actions that cannot be redone.
