there are two things we should never have to chase. it’s true friends and true love. people make time for who they wanna make time for. people text and reply to people they wanna talk to. when someone tells you that they’re too busy continuously, believe them.
you are under no obligation to engage with people who feel entitled to your time and energy. creating a deep and healthy bond with someone requires a mutual output of reciprocity - realistic reciprocity which takes into account mental health and busy lives.
Apologies won't heal you. Closure won't heal you. Validation won't heal you. Time won't heal you. Jumping from one relationship to another won't heal you. Eating, drinking, drugging, distracting, numbing, smoking, or fucking your pain away won't heal you. Only YOU will heal you.
quick reminder ✨️
you're not behind in life and there's no time table that we have to all follow. 7 billion people can't do everything in the same order. what's early? what's late? compared to who? so relax because this is your schedule and everything is right on time for you

I think it’s important to ask “Do you want me to just listen or do you want my input?” when someone is venting to you. Not everyone is looking for advice. Some people genuinely just want to rant to get things off their chest❤️❤️❤️
pretending not to care about someone is very uncool. life as we know it can end with no warning. so if we want to be a cool person, it involves being honest and telling people how we feel about them while we still can.
learning how to be alone has been one of the most exhilarating experiences in my life. it allowed me to slow down, to stop considering others before myself, to consider myself, to get to know myself intimately, to date myself, to cry with myself, to rely on myself for support.
i can't wait to wake up on christmas morning with the loml and wake our kids up to tell them santa came while the cinnamon rolls are baking in the oven and the fireplace is on
i truly appreciate the little things. i appreciate a quick message, i appreciate those who ask me if i’m good, i appreciate every person in my life who has tried to brighten my days.
i hope you know that there’s a place for you. that you can do it. that you are deserving. that you belong. i hope that you step beyond any doubts, any fears, any self limiting beliefs & allow yourself to achieve all the dreams you have.
