Having no contact with the person you're still in love with, who, at one point in time, sent you texts that would make your heart melt. And now, you can only love them in silence from a distance, slowly being forced to close a chapter you never wanted to end. It feels like

Got my heart broke so bad that I want nothing to do with dating, going out, having sex, flirting … all of the above. It’s weird how that does that to ya.

A lesson I learned this year is that a person's capacity for growth is directly linked to how much truth they can face about themselves without running away.

every night I make my little carafe of ice water with cucumber slices to drink in bed while I write/read/watch tv/scroll pinterest and I cannot ever imagine a man being with me in this space …

There are so many bigger concerns in the world right now (obvi) but dear god the things I would do to go back to an era where written content was more easily/widely accessible than video content. I want to READ the news, a recipe, a how-to, etc; I do NOT want to watch a video! 😭

i don't want to "rise & grind" i want to rise & dilly dally through the day until it's time for my little treat & a nap

The autistic urge to casually admire but not use new things (unless you have to) for a while after you get them, because it can take some time for you to become accustomed to their presence in your vicinity and feel comfortable interacting with them.

I think we were meant to live a slow life. Not be constantly stimulated. Taking walks at 2.34 pm in the afternoon. Watching the rain with a cup of warm tea. Fall asleep reading. To suck at at things and still do them. We weren't designed for this constant hustle. We were meant

Yesterday on X I read a post from someone saying she was getting a divorce and wanted advice. someone commented that X wasn't the place for that kind of discussion. I want to say something to each and every one of you. Please tell me what is happening in your life. X is EXACTLY

Losing an hour of time/sleep on International Women's Day feels like the most on brand thing this world has to offer.

When my dearest darling mum died, she had so many beautiful clothes in her draws never worn, she had been keeping ‘for best’. On International Women’s Day …..wear those clothes every single day of your life…..even going to Tesco.

4 non-negotiable days you should schedule on weekends every month: 1. Get Your Sh*t Together Day

This is where real beauty is found ❤️

I love spending weekends alone. No plans. No people. No performance. No pressure to be “on.” Just me, in my own little cozy world. Quiet coffee in the morning. Watching the sunrise. Longs walks. Reading Tolstoy. Meditating. A little music. A little staring at the walls. Cooking

maybe putting a 4th caffeinated drink in your anxiety riddled body will help there’s really no way to know

I like quiet people. Who are not loud to be interesting. Who read books no one talks about. Who can sit through a 2-hour documentary about bees. They're smart, but have no need to show off. No performance. Just depth. Just a calm presence. They notice things. They think deeply.

Not decorating your place is a trauma response. A quiet way of saying, “I won’t get attached to something I might lose." And healing begins the moment you realize you’re no longer just passing through life, you are allowed to settle, and make your environment feel like home.

yeah breakups hurt, but have you ever been a super talkative, enthusiastic person but slowly over the years and after trauma you watch yourself become more quieter and quieter to the point where that enthusiastic bubbly person just isn't who you are anymore?

I’ve reached a phase in life where I don’t want parties, people, or noise. No chaos. No drama. What I want now is peace. And purpose. Quiet mornings. Meaningful work. A few good people. Time to think. Time to breathe. A slow life that actually makes me feel alive. That'll do.

I live a slow life. A life unbothered by anything. I wake up. Make a coffee. Listen to the birds. Go for a walk. Work at my desk for a few hours. Read Tolstoy (War & peace). Eat a simple lunch. Listen to some classical music. I'm at peace. I'm a simple man. That's all I want.
