it’s such a lovely thing to feel appreciated and valued by someone. for them to see all of your great qualities, how ambitious you are, how much effort you dedicate to yourself & them as well. it’s sweet when people see your value and don’t take it for granted.
being with someone who ‘feels like home’ is a phrase that doesn’t equate to safety and warmth for people who grew up in chaos. in this case, be with someone who feels like the home you wish you experienced.
when you feel like hardening, choose to be soft. choose softness. see yourself falling onto your knees and just surrender. let go. you don’t have to fight your true feelings. they deserve to be there. they’re a part of you and you deserve to be here in your entirety
there is something so endearing about someone putting in the effort to communicate with you. it’s considerate but ultimately so sweet that someone would want to contribute to getting rid of any anxiety you may have. to fill the silence & fog of confusion with nothing but clarity.
Most people: "oh no, something disrupted my routine. Guess I'll have to do things differently today haha."
Me: "oh no, something disrupted my routine. Guess I'll have to do nothing and feel guilt and shame about doing nothing all day today haha."
