i love a man that genuinely fw me all day, everyday checking in, calling, texting, face time, pulling up...i can handle my own, but it's something special about a man who makes you feel wanted & thought about ♡
You need to be slowmaxxing. You need to be reading long, fat books. You need to be making 48-hour chocolate chip cookies. You need to spend hours watching wildlife, you need to spend 15+ min making your coffee. You need to breathe in and breathe out. You need to be slowwwwwwwwww.
garlic is to cooking as vanilla extract is to baking in that the amount i add to my food is guided by reckless extravagance and utter disregard, verging on mild contempt, for the recipe as written
It’s 2030. You’ve got:
– No debt
– 500k saved
– Multiple income streams
– Freedom to travel anytime
– A job that’s optional
– Parents retired
All from the decisions you make in 2026.
You are not a machine. You are more like a garden. You need different things on different days. A little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. You have fallow and fruitful seasons. It is not a design flaw. It is wiser than perpetual sameness.
The people who have made you feel most loved in your life probably didn't do anything dramatic. They just showed up for you in the moments when it mattered, fully and with presence. They let your reality be real to them. That capacity is the foundation of love
Take more pictures
Always say I love you
Let things go
Learn the lesson. Don't repeat it.
Laugh often.
Be known for kindness
Ask them out.
Hold them close.
Embrace the small moments.
Pray
Love again.
Life is too short.
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through a fungal network. Where octopuses dream.
Where elephants return to the bones of the deceased and stand over them in silence. Where bees use dance to communicate where to fly and where the flower is.
Where crows remember the faces of people who were cruel to them and pass this memory to their children.
Where ants build cities. Where cats purr at a frequency that accelerates the healing of bones.
Where, after a forest fire, the first thing the earth does is grow flowers.
My therapist told me
"Habits like smoking, drinking, chronic lack of sleep, or disordered eating are often forms of self-sabotage. When you suppress a massive amount of anger toward others, that energy has to go somewhere. So, you subconsciously start destroying yourself just to release the feelings you've bottled" And that hit me like a brick"
