compliments on your appearance are cool‚ but when someone compliments you as a person, the way your mind works‚ the way you carry yourself‚ your laugh, how peaceful your energy feels, and how genuine your heart is – those are top tier compliments...they just hit different.
the older you get, the more you choose calm over conflict and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart and soul.
A friend once told me that the heart is shaped like two ears put together because to love is to listen without interrupting or thinking of a reply at the same time. Paul Tillich once said, “The first duty of love is to listen.” Sometimes it’s harder to listen than to speak up.
@prettygirll4L@_YourNarrative Life is literally energy. There's so much that you can learn about a person not just from what they say or what they do, but how they make you feel!
If your gut/ intuition is telling you something, listen because it's communicating the more subtle things.
one thing about me is that just because i address something doesn’t mean i’m tryna argue. i like to talk things out and i love clarity. we’re adults.. so communicate
