gotta start rewarding my intuition with gratitude, instead of the grief of feeling bad for being right.

healing happens in circles, not lines. you will return to old places with new eyes.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

I get blown away every time I read this paragraph by Carl Jung:

To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing red-hot iron: it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.

not dating to marry, not dating to break up, but a secret third thing (dating to be with someone you’re truly compatible with, to travel, experience life, laugh a lot and share something real for as long as it feels right, whether that’s a season or a lifetime)

Have confidence in your own taste. This is the key to personal cultural happiness in a sea of annoying discourse!

It's surprisingly underwhelming how little people care about your writing accomplishments if they know you personally.

I don't accept people treating me weirdly when they're "going through something" because when I'm going through something I'm still nice and I'm still kind and I don't feel like that's an excuse to treat people like shit.

i realized that no one, not even my mother or closest friends knows what i’m actually like in the inside of my head, and the only person who actually knows who i am is me

one of the most pervasive and destructive attitudes in our society is the idea that you're not allowed to have fun past 30. a cage of your own design

What if your shadow work isn’t facing your trauma? What if your shadow work is remembering your joy?

The older I get, the more certain I am that we knew exactly who we were when we were little, and then adults talked us out of it
