this isn’t all that there is!!! there are sunsets you haven’t seen, people you haven’t met, things you haven’t learned, food you haven’t tried, and places you haven’t visited. life is so much more than what you’re experiencing right now, and there will always be new things coming. there’s so much more out there for you!!
surround yourself with things that make you happy! cover your desk in all the collectibles and stuffed animals that you desire! pile your favorite books up in a cherished stack on your bedside table! plaster your walls with photos of loved ones and ticket stubs and gifted drawings! string fairy lights in aesthetic zigzags along your walls and drape them over pieces of furniture! follow people that make you feel good things on social media! melt wax cubes or burn candles or incense in your favorite scent! let your comfort music or shows play in the background as you go about your day!
You literally dont need anyone. Go out and get a coffee and dessert and sit by yourself. Go out to a high end store and buy yourself something nice. Stop waiting until you have a group of “friends” to have fun. Take time to explore what you like and don’t. In the end you are your own best friend forever. Be kind to yourself and go live your best life 💗🏹.
if only i could show you all the times you’ve had a positive impact on someone’s day. what a beautiful film it would be
how do people not !!!!!! in their emails. how do they resist the urge to put a little smiley or a little <3 at the end of their sentences. how. i just want to call everyone my beloved and sign off with a little xo at the end.
being vulnerable is hard. bringing up difficult things in an offhand way because it’s not a big deal, please don’t make it a big deal. being vulnerable and opening up means you could be judged, and that’s tough. when you don’t know how people will take things, when it could turn out badly. but being vulnerable also opens up opportunities for understanding, for connection, for support. it’s not bad to be vulnerable, please try to remember that.
for real once you realize that you can actually wear whatever you want and call yourself whatever name and pronouns you want and have whatever interests you want and be whatever gender you want your life gets so much better and more fun
“Relax. You will become an adult. You will figure out your career. You will find someone who loves you. You have a whole lifetime; time takes time.”
— Johanna de Silentio
will never get over the fact that we can love people despite there being countries between us. we can miss people we’ve never seen in person. we can connect and bond over hundreds of things without ever needing to be in each others physical presence. we can have half the globe between us and love never falters.
You’ll meet a hundred different people who will describe you in a hundred different ways, don’t dwell too much on the kind of impression you make. Remember, there are a thousand paintings of the sun, but only one that rises and sets each day.

if they don’t get you, someone else will. if they don’t love you, tons of other people will. if they are not right for you it’ll still be okay.

“I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.”
— Jonathan Carroll (via nightlyquotes)
you can reach your dreams. you can find that sunlit apartment with the perfect kitchen for dancing with someone you love. you can adopt a cat and give it an overly long fancy name and shower it with love. you can open that bakery or that bookstore or that coffee shop and make it an environment you always envisioned. you can find your person. turn your yearning to reality. you can make it through the pains and the unknowns and the rough parts and finally achieve the dreams that helped you through.
I acted in my last high school theatre production on sunday and a few of my friends came and brought me my favorite flowers (sunflowers) !!

“But there isn’t actually a most beautiful person in the world, because there are so many kinds of beauty. Some people love roundness and softness, and other people love sharp edges and strong muscles. Some people like thick hair like a lion’s mane, and other people like thin hair that pours down like an inky waterfall, and some people love someone so much they forget what they look like. Some people think the night sky full of stars at midnight is the most beautiful thing imaginable, some people think it’s a forest in snow, and some people… Well, there are a lot of people with a lot of ideas about beauty. And love. When you love someone a lot, they just look like love.”
— Rebecca Solnit, from Cinderella Liberator
Here's your friendly reminder to turn your room into your safe place. Hang posters from your favourite movies and musicians. Put fairy lights on the ceilings and hang flowers from the walls. Play music that makes you feel like you're in a coming of age film.. Romanticise the fuck out of everyday life because it's all we got ♡
somewhere in the world
a mother is singing her baby a lullaby for the first time, a shelter cat is going home with an excited family, a kid is starting the first pages of what will be their favorite book series, a couple in a long engagement is finally having their wedding, a gardener is stepping outside to see their produce flourishing and almost ready to be picked, a father is becoming a grandfather eager to hold his new little love, a teenager is putting the keys into their first car, someone is moving on from a break up and walking past a place they used to go with their ex without feeling an ache, a patient is taking their first steps forward after a long surgery, a child is getting all giddy with anticipation for their birthday party
because life all around us is beautiful even though there is chaos and sorrow that can often overshadow it.
