Everybody think a comeback gotta be a new car, more money, new house or popping out looking good. Sometimes the comeback is getting YOU back. Sleeping good again,Laughing again, Not overthinking every damn thing, Not checking on people who hurt you! Sitting by yourself & actually
Ask God to restore your appetite for life. Your ideas. Your energy. Your curiosity. Your confidence. Your hope for the future. Sometimes you don't need a completely new life. You need to reconnect with the parts of yourself you stopped nurturing.
I have a deep respect for people's privacy. I can be very close to someone for years and still not know everything about them, and I never feel the need to ask. And It's not like I don't care. I believe that if someone hasn't chosen to share something, it isn't my place to ask!!
i hope you believe that you can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you lost many years of it to grief, or darkness, depression, or a wound that wouldn’t close
You're picking the person who will be with you on the worst day of your life. The day you have to bury a parent, the day the doctor calls you to give you bad news, the day you lose the job, the day your dog that you've had for 14 years doesn't come home. That's who you're choosing. And still most people date like they're casting a movie. Do they give me butterflies? Are they exciting? Is their chemistry cool?Butterflies aren't gonna matter when life punches you in the face and when that day comes, you will not care how charming they were on the first date. You'll care whether they stayed, you'll care whether they showed up, you'll care if they made the effort and they made the unbearable feel bearable. The older I get, the less I'm asking myself if I want to spend a saturday night with this person, and the more I find myself asking, do I want this person to stand next to me when my life falls apart
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
allow what is removing itself from you to gently exit, without chasing it down the road, without offering discounts on your worth to make it stay. what is meant for you will never need convincing and what is aligned with you will never make you audition for a place you already deserved.
i know it’s the bare minimum lowkey but i’m really a sucker for a “hey baby, i’m busy with work today, i’m not ignoring you, i won’t be able to text but i’m a call away” text. especially as an over-thinker, i really do appreciate it
