January is not the month for starting a new life, sorry. You’re thinking of April or September. January is a Sunday afternoon. It is for sleeping in, making cinnamon rolls, having sex and reading bad fiction books. Any work you get done this month is a bonus. You’re welcome.
Sobriety is lonely.
In a culture that revolves around numbing, soothing, and functional addiction— being sober can feel like being an outcast.
Normalize friendships where you hike, read, learn new things, and better yourself.
does anyone else feel like their short-term memory has gotten scary worse? someone will ask me what I did that weekend and i will genuinely have to check my calendar to remember

someone said, "I miss the innocence of loving someone without the constant fear" and that just really hit me deep fr... the first time you loved someone, you loved fully and wholeheartedly, you opened yourself up, you loved with everything in you expecting the best and now.....
Your partner coming to you about something you’ve done wrong isn’t a personal attack. It’s a healthy sign they value the relationship and want to make it work – it's a heads up. You communicate, you fix it, you stay. That's emotional maturity. That's commitment. That's love.
I love being around people who are working on themselves, who are developing, who are self aware. who care about others, who reflect on their behavior, who try to be better, who don’t sweep things under the rug
You deserve a calm love with someone who’s good for your mental health and nervous system. Someone who's your safe space, your best friend, and brings peace to your soul during stressful times.
