it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
not to be parasocial as fuck but the fact that the person who wrote tortured poets department is having her own fairytale wedding with the love of her life makes my little hopeless romantic heart feel better and full and hopeful
