my therapist said “people who struggle with anxiety & depression can't remember a lot, bc they're too busy focusing on how to get through each moment so they don t actually experience what is happening to them, causing them to not form the memory they were supposed to” felt that.
I love seeing couples who are actual best friends w/ each other. Not a relationship based solely on duty & societal expectations but one based on mutual understanding, laughter, shared experiences, shared interests & more. I genuinely think these are the happiest relationships.
my father always told me: “if you want to go for a run, go for a run, don’t look for company. sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves.” and only recently have i realized that this principle works everywhere.
