the things that bring me the most joy are the simplest: the feeling of climbing in to my own bed after a long day. the smell of coffee. a stranger being kinder than i expected. waking up to the sound of rain. the jingle of a loved one's laughter. these simple joys are all i need.
it isn't possible to love and part. you will wish that it was. you can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. i know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.
I love the art of noticing. Someone noticing your favourite snack, noticing the way your face lights up when you get excited about something, noticing the way you react when you don’t like something
honestly, if u know how difficult and how long it took some people to recover their peace of mind and happiness, you'll understand why they shut all doors at any slight discovery of toxicity, and also why they can be so picky about who they allow in their lives.
i genuinely believe that people don't treat you the way they feel about you. i believe they treat you based on the state of mind they are in. some people unintentionally hurt you because they are at war with themselves and suffering from things that have nothing to do with you. +
STORYTIME: 4 months ago, I asked a guy to stop talking to me bc I wanted to focus sa boards. We didn’t talk then, no interactions at all.
Super thoughtful lang na he made daily journals for the past months to fill the huge gap if ever we start talking again. 🥺 ANG CUTE PLS
