There’s something special about staying up late, later than you should, because you just wanna spend a little longer talking to that one person that makes you smile.

It’s 2:46 and I’m exhausted, but I have a happy smile on my face, and I’m still talking.

let your devices be tools, not lifestyles. the internet is wonderful, but it shouldn’t be where you disappear to all day. try to only pick up your devices with an intended purpose in mind; don’t let the easy dopamine rush fool you into thinking browsing tumblr is any substitute for real life. your devices are tools whose usage you control, not the other way around.

give yourself a sense of place and time. rotate your wardrobe when the weather changes. update your playlists every month. write down three things you did today. do it everyday. message your friends good morning. buy yourself different flavours of tea based on your mood, the packaging, the weather, your heart. save the little paper labels; stick them in your notebook until the inside cover is full of little colored tags. have it hot in the winter. have it cold in the summer. learn to make apple cider, raspberry cordial. spend the summer knitting a scarf for the colder months. spend the winter sewing loose flowy blouses for the summer. open the windows, five minutes a day if it’s cold, all day if it’s warm. give yourself a sense of place and time and weather.

Learn to let people argue by themselves. You don’t have to prove them wrong even if you are right. Let them make mistakes. Just watch and see.

You might have the best advice in the world for the most stubborn person to ignore. This is deep.

We gotta stop trying to explain ourselves to people who do not care to listen. We gotta stop arguing with people who are bad conversationalists. As much as we talk to these people, as much as we try to get them to hear us, we have to accept people for who they are and their limits. You will over exhaust yourself trying to debate with them. And that’s not good for your mental health and over all well being. Accept people for where they’re at if they’re not good communicators, not good listeners, their opinions are the ultimatum. You have to control your emotions and take a step back. I know you want to go off on them, but hold your tongue. Save your energy. Resist debating with someone who will never hear or receive you.

Your light is gonna irritate a lot of unhealed people.

If standing up for yourself burns a bridge, fuck that bridge

We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things we haven’t done, while others ignore our faults and just see our smile. Some leave us when we need them the most, while some stay with us even when we ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which hand to hold. That’s life, after all; learning to hold on and learning to let go.

A secret to happiness is letting every situation be what it is, instead of what you think it should be, and then making the best of it.

Your comfort zone will kill you.

Celebrate yourself. Nobody knows what it takes to be you.

Self love is the highest frequency that attracts everything you want.

Difficult truth: a lot of people are practicing emotional avoidance and are calling it a positive mindset.

If it’s meant to be it’ll be. And if it’s not, there’s something better in store.

A person who is okay with being alone is a powerful person.

When you build in silence, people don’t know what to attack.

Don’t let anyone’s ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be.
