“People will still disappoint you. You’ll still say the wrong thing sometimes. Your parents might never apologize the way you want them to. Your partner will trigger you. You’ll trigger them back. It’s called being alive. It sucks sometimes. Welcome!”
“There is no amount of internal work that will exempt you from hurt or misunderstanding or the occasional chaotic group chat spiral. You can’t boundary yourself into a perfectly curated life.”
النضج لا يعني أن تصبح أقل تأثرًا بالحياة، بل أن تصبح أكثر قدرة على احتمالها دون أن تفقد نفسك. أن تتألم دون أن تتحول إلى مرارة، وأن تخيب دون أن تتحول إلى يأس، وأن ترى الواقع كما هو دون أن تتوقف عن المشاركة فيه.
– فيكتور فرانكل
It’s scary how being around the wrong people can make the wrong things feel normal.
you only realize how lost you were once you step outside that circle.
Is it bad that I don’t find some babies cute? Some of them are actually ugly. I know their looks change in a year, but right now…. thats just how it is
