you don’t always have to be on a conquest for self growth or constantly be on a mission to achieve happiness. it’s okay to be a person who experiences emotions. you can endure the most gut wrenching feelings and be screaming and crying on your bedroom floor, and still recognize that it’s temporary and not a setback in your path to healing. That, my love, is the goal. That is true peace: understanding that your emotions are not to be pathologized, but simply a part of the human expirence; reassuring yourself that your body is equipped to handle intense situations. Let yourself be a person. I love you.

I hope you come into the love you deserve. I hope you drink it in full, devour the entire plate. I hope you find peace in the war you fight with yourself. I hope you know you are worth it all.

Sometimes we desire a relationship cause we think we may heal everything about us through it. We think the other person has all the answers for us, and will solve our own puzzle.
Truth is, the other person is just another person exactly like us, with their own issues and life to live, and we cannot expect them to heal us too. We can surely ask for help, for support, as we can give ours to them, but… most of the work is still up to us.
We need to do our part: we need to come closer to them too, to compromise (on what we can), to stand our ground too when necessary, and to be fair, vulnerable and open. No matter what we learned in our childhood (very likely when we had to take care of our emotionally unstable/immature caregivers), we cannot have someone else doing all the job for us.
No matter how much we want to feel less alone, we also need to give others the chance to get inside of our world. We need to let down some walls in order for this to happen for real. We need to learn to trust again (and trust that we’re strong enough to survive if by any chance the other will leave us -it doesn’t have to be our fault anyway, it can be just life).

it’s so funny to me that conservatives think the reason university students become more liberal is because of the actual course material and not like. the fact that universities in the US are oftentimes the first place Americans are introduced to a walkable environment with affordable health care, with community spaces for any affiliation under the sun where they give you free resources and cheap food. with included public transit and opportunities for training in your field of choice. and you realize that for how much you’re spending on tuition/taxes, yeah, you do deserve these things, it would be insane not to have those. and then you graduate and go back to having to buy a car to drive 20 minutes to the grocery store.

You are not just good enough the way you are - you are also good enough the way you feel, the way you think, the way you speak, the way you love. Every part of you matters, darling. Always remember that.

I’ve been told before you shouldn’t talk about politics or religion on a date because it might make things awkward, so I try to touch on both, partly because those are genuinely interesting subjects and partly because “bad first date” seems a thousand times better than “finding out six months later that you’ve fucked a staunchly conservative fundamentalist”.

Like yeah disagreements are uncomfortable but you know what’s worse? Waking up next to a dipshit
