there’s a difference between being desired and being cherished. desire can come from anyone, but cherishing comes from someone who’s willing to study you, learn you and keep choosing you even when novelty fades. I’m only interested in being cherished.
I read something recently:
“There's a small window in life, when your parents are healthy, your children are little, and everyone Is together. It's feels like it's forever, until it's over."
So cherish it.
today i read that butterflies rest when it rains because it damages their wings. it’s okay to rest during the storms of life. you’ll fly again when it’s over.
You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.
a lady said before bed write this down:
“i am worthy of miracles that don't require me to be exhausted."
let that be your closing ceremony for the day.
april, strengthen my roots and prepare me to bloom without apologizing for how much space my flowers take up. teach me to grow in the direction of my own light, and leave behind every version of me that was only watered by fear of being too much. be the grace i owe myself.
