let me tell you something:
no one is going to look at you, broken and shattered
and think -
damn, you are beautiful.
no one is going to come pick up your broken pieces off the floor and
assemble them into a beautiful whole.
hell,
you won’t even look at yourself and think -
I made broken look beautiful.
you know why?
because all those writers lied to you.
yes,
all those with their poems of scraped knuckles and
blood dripping down chins,
pomegranate songs and loves that ripped through you like
hurricanes.
liars.
so you and i,
we are going to make a plan.
you are not going to romanticize days when your brain tells you to smash that mirror,
you are not going to romanticize the lover who doesn’t understand you
but still writes about you.
here is what you are going to romanticize instead:
you are going to romanticize the first day of spring,
its gentle hands all over your body,
lifting you up until you are as light as a feather.
you are going to romanticize the tea and honey kind of love,
no hurricanes,
but sunshine that builds you up from within,
that helps you make it through the worst days.
you are going to romanticize gentle hands of a friend
in yours,
telling you that it is going to be okay.
because it is.
and don’t trust poets,
we’re no good,
we love pretending that our jagged edges tantamount to a beautiful disaster, but in reality -
there ain’t nothing beautiful about shaky hands holding a cigarette and
empty eyes staring at the cracks in the walls.
you know what is beautiful, instead?
the days when you can look at yourself in the mirror and smile,
scars and all.
music that makes your soul flow like a river,
books that offer comfort,
families flocking together like overgrown birds to keep you safe and warm,
friends that give you strength when you can find none,
lovers who make you laugh through tears.
baby,
from now on
you are going to romanticize healing;
honey dripping down your fingertips,
August nights that stick to your skin,
the day you find your purpose,
long car rides and singing so loud that no one can shut you up now.
bad news:
no one is coming to save you.
good news:
you can save yourself.
Concept: It’s 6 years from now, you are vacationing with your other half in a stunning oceanview apartment that you found online, it’s night, the air is crisp and the sound of the crashing waves makes you think about your younger self who was so terrified about things not falling into place; you wish you could go back in time and show yourself how great things are going to be
To everyone learning a language, who is getting frustrated and impatient and maybe even thinking of quitting: remember how far you have come (not how far you have to go), remember why you started and remember how fantastic the end product will be. Learning a language is difficult and the journey can be long but it is rewarding and it opens so many doors. You are capable of doing this, you can do this… don’t quit now
I know how hard it can be, and how much doubt you must be having, but you can do this. I’ll be here every step of the way, no matter what happens.
look, tomorrow you will wake up and feel a bit better, a bit calmer. you are going to figure things out eventually, it dosnt have to all be done tonight. take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, and get some rest. you will manage.
Stop scrolling
Take a deep breath
Breathe out slowly
You’re going to be ok. Everything will be alright. Relax. Breathe.
It’ll be ok.
things you have:
- a future to be excited for

- beautiful songs to sing
🌱 the love of mother nature;
🌱 lovely people to get to know;
🌱 animals;
🌱 art.
- languages to learn
- mountains to climb
- tv&movies to watch
- books to read
- essential oil blends to make/crystals to collect
- your inner world to build, explore and express
cherish the quiet, little moments. reading your book in your bed with a cosy blanket. noticing the colors of the sky. watching the rain outside through your window. closing your eyes and just taking a breath. the sun shining on your skin. the small smiles and eyes lightning up.
if u feel like u dont know what ur doing w ur life just remember that venus spins backwards and we dont even fuckin know why. just do whatever you wanna honestly
delete selfies you don’t like. listen to music that makes you happy. look at art that makes you think. eat healthy, but if you want that chocolate, go for it. hang out with people that make you laugh. get up early and watch the sunrise. if you can’t sleep, grab a notebook and write down the first things that come to your mind. sing as loud as you can. never pass up a chance to walk barefoot. make memories. treat yourself the way you would treat a loved one.
don’t give up. you are lovely, and full of light. there is so much beauty in the world you have yet to see. don’t give up.
one of my friends is a very pregnant dog and like 3 times a day i say to her “hello! you are full of several other smaller dogs!” and she wags her entire body at me like “it’s true!!! i contain multitudes”
i love that ur friend is the pregnant dog. what a nice friend to have.
ya she’s my buddy i love her!
- the time you take being jealous of other people’s success is the time you could be using to build your own
- you’re never going to “feel like it”
- doing and practicing now is better than waiting for the perfect moment
- eliminate people with toxic habits from your life
- you are in control. Everything you’ve done up to this moment led you here. Therefore, your future is determined by what you do now.
- everything is as it should be and only later in life you can connect the dots.
- self discipline will give you freedom. consistency will give you results
- everything is temporary. You should find freedom in this concept
- the rich stay rich acting poor and the poor stay poor acting rich
- being healthy means finding a balance between the good and the bad
- the people that outranked you have outworked you.
- you can’t be grateful and negative at the same time.
Meditate on these statements. They are so very powerful! Xxx
