Do not let people gaslight you into thinking that duality does not exist. You can be grateful and annoyed. You can want more and be grateful for what you have. You can be angry and frustrated and still be grateful. A lot of religious and spiritual gaslighting out here.
I’ve started appreciating days where nothing dramatic happens. no bad news, no stressful interactions, no overwhelming thoughts. just a normal, quiet day where everything is calm. those are the days that actually feel like rest.
Staying home on a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night to avoid staying up late and enjoy your home is also self-love. Enjoying plans at home, eating well, watching a movie, and having a good time with your loved ones is also a good life
i don’t think it’s desperate to want daily connection with someone you’re interested in.
i think that’s just… how relationships are built.
y’all just scared of effort.
