Everyone wants depth but no one wants to dig.

I looked up inspirational books for how I am feeling this year and found out I’d already bought a chunk of them years ago, but never got around to reading them. Welp, now's the time!

[🔸 @kloressa]

One of the strangest feelings is realizing your past self left breadcrumbs for the version of you that exists now.

[🔸 @kloressa]

Forever weary of hearts that speak in riddles.

[🔸 @kloressa]

And maybe the love was real,
but love alone
could not make you choose me
fully, completely.
As if I were not whole,
and only half of you
could complete me.

You cannot move through life without being marked by it; sometimes the only silver lining is scar tissue.

@jimmybredskins All of these little things help make eating at home & eating healthier more convenient & budget friendly. It's great for organization as well, if you're a visual person aha

[🔸 @kloressa]

Grocery shopping is the best kind of shopping.

[🔸 @kloressa]

@jimmybredskins And then I use the frozen produce for smoothies (fruit) and roasting/boiling (vegetables)!

[🔸 @kloressa]

@jimmybredskins Prepping food actually stops it from spoiling, which saves money. You don't need to be rich to want to get the most out of your budget! I understand food prices are ridiculous rn, but we all spend money on dumb shit at times. I'd prefer to focus on what I am putting into my body.

[🔸 @kloressa]

Everyone wants to express.
Very few want to understand.

[🔸 @kloressa]

Pro Tip: as soon as you get home, wash/cut/repackage (properly in airtight containers) all the produce you bought during your grocery trip. Not only is it convenient when you need to put a meal or snack together, but it makes the food last SO much longer!

Me & my boyfriend have been through so much, and there were a few times we almost gave up. But we stayed, grew, and fought for each other. Life will always have hard days, but loving someone who’s willing to grow with you makes everything worth it.

The neighbourhood gets a win & I get to take late night trips to the grocery store again. 🥰🎉🙌

[🔸 @kloressa]

I was ready to become one of those ‘Toronto has lost its soul’ ppl after the two fruit & flower shops closest to me got shut down for condo development last year. But this year they both respawned even closer to me AND in bigger stores. Also, the nearby Sobeys is now 24 hours. 🎉

One day, this will all be over.

Not everything that passes lets go.
