Choose yourself, not once, not twice...

Image
Please don't ever abandon  yourself again.  Especially not in the name of trying to be validated by a temporary connection.  Stop holding on to things that don't demonstrate respect for your value. Start investing in things that remind you of your worth.  You deserve so much more.  And don’t shrink yourself just to fit into spaces that were never meant to hold your light.  Stop explaining your worth to those committed to misunderstanding you. Silence can be dignity too. Choose yourself, not once, not twice, but every single time it feels uncomfortable to do so. Let go without guilt, walk away without fear, and trust that what’s truly yours will never require you to abandon who you are. Grow into someone who feels like home to their own soul. Because at the end of it all,  the longest relationship you’ll ever have is the one you build with yourself.

You can see how precious it is...

When you get older, you value things differently. You can see how precious it is to have peace of mind, to sleep with your heart feeling at ease. You can see the true price of everything and everyone in your life. Time slows down and you can savor moments much better. Because the older you get, the more you understand. How everything is temporary. How everything is just passing. Even yourself. And there's nothing for you to do. Except to enjoy the present. And pass in this life in peace. -Metanoia

Thodi himmat rakh, apni baat rakh...

Thodi himmat rakh, apni baat rakh, Koi na sune toh unchi apni awaaz rakh, Yeh khudgarzo ki duniya hai, sabko apni padi hai, Teri koi nahi rakhega, tu khud apna khayal rakh .

Do you know what I love? How closely nature is...

Do you know what I love? How closely nature is linked with mentality. A walk in the woods can calm anxiety, sitting and dropping stones into a lake can ease anger, even taking time to pot some plants and look after them can keep my mind occupied from dissociation. It's like the earth is the oldest psychiatrist of all, and it is always there to talk to, giving me a constant free prescription. Isn't that beautiful.

You know what's scary about this age...?

Image
You know what's scary about this age? You can't even enjoy your down time. You're socially convinced that every moment you're spending not doing anything is wasted time. That you always should be working towards something. We forget that it's okay to have a breather and simply take time to yourself.

All of a sudden I felt really tired...

Image
And all of a sudden I felt really tired. Tired of loving, tired of caring and tired of trying. It's hard to keep going when the people you love turn against you and drain your heart of all the love, the life and everything else it had. |lsalmabdul

She was beautiful but not like those girls in...

Image
She was beautiful, but not like those girls in magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. -F Scott Fitzgerald

This is how heart makes a duet...

Everything is beautiful and I am so sad. This is how the heart makes a duet of wonder and grief. ~Mark Nepo
