Sticking to no contact really helps your self confidence. You realize there isn’t a single person you can’t live without. You had a life before they existed in it, and you’ll have one after they’re gone. Their importance was only informed by your attention.
allow what is removing itself from you to gently exit, without chasing it down the road, without offering discounts on your worth to make it stay. what is meant for you will never need convincing and what is aligned with you will never make you audition for a place you already deserved.
I think one of the most heartfelt experiences in life is discovering that someone genuinely enjoys your presence. Not what you provide, Not your accomplishments. Just you, your thoughts, your energy, your existence.
Date ppl who are gentle with you bc love is ethical before it is emotional. That part gets skipped a lot. Attraction & chemistry can be loud but even trauma has chemistry too.
july, cleanse my intentions in light. remove anything that blocks me from seeing myself, the layers i’ve outgrown, the noise i’ve mistaken for direction and the versions of me that were only meant to be temporary. make room for the parts of me that don’t need permission to exist.
My favorite form of intimacy has always been asking questions, not to pry, but to understand the architecture of someone's inner world. The way they think. The way they feel. The way their past still echoes in their present. There's a depth in people that never shows unless someone asks the kind of questions that require honesty instead of performance.
I JUST HEARD SOMEONE SAY
"MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED MORE TIME TO HEAL, MAYBE YOU NEED MORE EXPERIENCES THAT SHOW YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM A DIFFERENT REALTY"
AND, YEAH.
