And when you see them experience joy, let them.

They had lost parts of themselves they never knew they could.

[​𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐚 @sunnkssdseraph]

People who spend long periods of time at home and slowly lose the desire to go outside often think they're just resting. But psychologically, many of them are experiencing something called mental rumination. It's a state where the brain starts slowing down while the number of thoughts inside keeps increasing and the motivation to do anything slowly disappears. The mind gets stuck in the past, worries about the future and burns itself out. This isn't laziness, it's a nervous system stuck in survival mode. And the longer it lasts, the more distant normal life begins to feel. And the difficult part is that you usually can't escape it through one massive burst of motivation. And sometimes,recovery starts with just one small step.

why would u meet the person you’re gonna marry in a fucked up way? why would your life partner make you beg, cry, chase & second guess. That doesn’t make spiritual sense. Break up. Move on

notice how ‘girls mature faster’ is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men’s attraction to them.

Manifesting a man who says “I need my girl” when he’s having a rough day and rushes home just to be with me.

As mulheres pretas transformaram o mundo que nós vivemos e nunca nem ouvimos falar delas.
