Honesty is the highest form of intimacy.

[Inner Practitioner @MindTendencies2]

Dating someone with childlike playfulness who makes you laugh, brings out your inner child, and makes you forget about the exhausting adulting >>>

@RoninTheLeo One of life’s sweet indulgences, for me! 😍

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Your soulmate it whoever you put your energy into. It’s whoever you learn to compromise with. It’s whoever allows you to feel safe and accepted as you are. It’s who reminds you that you’re greater than your circumstance. Soulmates are the result of work.

@RichHarris2 Cuddles with the right person are magical.

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@MindTendencies2 There is so much more peace when we don’t feel a need to be understood by everyone. Truly, we are all coasting along at different paces, with different priorities, and different levels of understanding. When we meet someone who matches ours, that is to be celebrated.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Most of us have learned to lie in relationships, because we were shamed, belittled, or made to feel wrong when we told the truth to our parents.

Why it's time to learn to tell the (entire) truth:

[Navalism @NavalismHQ]

It's not about "educated" v "un-educated." It's about "likes to read" and "doesn't like to read."

@RichHarris2 Really wonderful! I am so happy for you. ❤️

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@amandaknox Often the gaps make us better. ❤️

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@Joseph_Fasano_ 🥰What a sweetie!

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@VladaMars @longlistofwhy I love the way a simple collection of words can paint such a vivid picture capable of breaking a heart for a few moments. ❤️Thank you.

[Vlada Mars @VladaMars]

I wish I knew you in the spring of your life. When you were gentle and your laughter joyful as cherry blossoms. I wish I kissed you under the magnolia tree, and held your hand full of moonlight. I wish I loved you when your heart was soft and full of hope.

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@Theholisticpsyc Yes, sad but so true!

An ex-boyfriend who really struggled with trauma told me this: this (reaching on the wall well above his head) is how much affection I want to give you, and this (putting his hand on the wall about two feet lower) is how much I am able to give you.

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@somyathakker @riccardocarra44 I would use either of these as well. Mechanistic was my first thought.

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@angrymemorys Agreed! Neither do I.

[Becky @RebeccaPHD]

@a_ramono For some reason our brains make what is called the fundamental attribution error. When we do something wrong, or make a mistake, we attribute it to the situation, whereas when others do something wrong, we attribute their behaviour to personal characteristics.

Confidence is not a belief in success. It's a comfort with failure.

[introvert @livewithnoregrt]

never forget how they gave you distance when you needed love.
