the love you receive from someone who knows how to be alone is the most sincere there is because a solitary soul loves you by choice not out of the need for company
I wrote down exactly who I want to be and what I want my life to look like. then I asked what does he do. how does he start his day. what does he eat. when does he sleep. how does he handle the hard conversations. what does his work look like.
