“November night. Brief note to self: Time to take myself in hand. To build into myself, to give myself backbone, however much I fail.”— Sylvia Plath, from a journal entry featured in “The Unabridged Journals,”
The purest form of love, I think, is having someone who wants to learn about you, from you and with you.

I understand you shouldn’t have to force things but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to try period and that’s where a lot of people mess up
my friend just told me this:
you won’t become a virtuous person by suffering. no one’s going to applaud you when you suffer or respect you for the amount of pain you can endure. that’s why you need to take care of yourself.

Y’all gotta stop being mad when someone doesn’t end up being the person you imagined them to be. People don’t come into existence because you walk into their lives.
Think of yourself as a growing flower and the people around you as ecosystems. Some don’t have the resources to sustain you. Some you outgrow. And then some work out perfectly.
One of the most challenging things I’ve had to learn is that healing must be intentional. There is no one golden day that comes and saves you from all your misery. Healing is a practice. You have to decide that it’s what you want to do and actively do it. You have to make a habit out of it. Once I learned that, I only looked back to see how far I came.

Try not to engage with any old self sabotaging thoughts that are arising this week. Focus on how far you have come and where you are going. The past is irrelevant, it’s only purpose was to get you to where you are now, today.
