i think loving someone can be described as the desire to make things easier for the other person

true love by Sharon Olds

“A mother and a daughter — what a terrible combination of feelings and confusion and destruction. Everything is possible and is done in the name of love and solicitude. The mother’s injuries are handed down to the daughter. The mother’s failures are paid for by the daughter. The mother’s unhappiness will be the daughter’s unhappiness. It’s as if the umbilical cord had never been cut.”

~ Autumn Sonata

I wanted "peace," to be left alone in my underground world. Real life oppressed me with its novelty so much that I could hardly breathe.

~ Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

Soulmates aren't just lovers–they're friends too. Your soulmates naturally recognize you, vibe with you & align with you. They see you, hear you, understand you, support you, love you, heal with you & grow with you. They make you feel beautiful in your own skin just for being you

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

you mean something to people you've never even spoken to. when i see my elderly neighbor on her balcony i go "oh it's grandma" and i'm so happy to see her every time, when i pass a couple holding hands i think 'what a cute couple that is', when i hear a child laugh on the train it makes me smile and hope that life continues to make them laugh! it is just as likely that you are being showered in appreciation, well wishes and blessings everywhere you go

I sit and think about how we’re all just walking our individual paths but sometimes our paths align perfectly with someone else’s and you either walk the rest of your lives together or it’s just for a brief moment in time and you carry on. We’re really all just walking each other home. Life is so magical.
