healing your inner child is also discovering everything about yourself that was taken from you: your passions, your creativity, your identity, and your sense of safety in the world.- the intimacy of being individuals together.
- maybe the happy ending is that you fall in love with your life — eat your favorite foods, admire sunrises and sunsets, pick up the book you've been trying to finish, dance to your favorite songs, buy yourself flowers. bring your mind back to how blessed you are.
- the person you used to be did not fight so hard for your survival just for you to get better and view them as weak or embarrassing.
- self improvement is great, but, ultimately, you have to accept yourself. yes, you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. some days you won't have the energy to do any of these things, and
- let it end. allow it to escape from your grasp. if it is meant to be yours, it will find its way back to you. choose peace. give yourself permission to breathe a little easier in its absence. resist the urge to try to control the outcome. all will be okay.
- there is no romance like the journey back to your own heart
- yall want healthy relationships until one is sitting in front of you then you don’t know what to do with it and sabotage it lmao
- if you lead with love it doesn’t matter how someone else receives you. you cannot control how anyone receives you, you can only control your intention.
- love is supposed to be free, natural, and almost a complete release from the monotony and routines of life. real love won’t leave you depressed, lost or distraught. love is a healer, love is a protector, and love is a friend.
- people that introduce you to new ways of seeing life are important.
- Replying to @avataraariyou'll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. that’s a lie. the biggest love for self is to live slowly. to rest. to really rest. have a nap. eat what makes you feel good. read if you want to. embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not ever be perfect
