please don’t spend your life convincing yourself that love or joy is reserved for the idealized version of you that only exists in the future

Things you look for in men?

Put together (usually subtle designer), good haircuts and neat nails, expensive aesthetic dental and vision care, a high quality/rigorous educational background, a pricey hobby or two, a network of personal and professional connections that would boggle the mind of an average person, a good family name (no matter how small), experience traveling, good manners and a mild temperament, a set career path with a reasonable backup plan, little to no debt, and good mental health.

from a reddit thread about stuffed animals

i love you shy women. i love you melancholy women. i love you aging women. i love you perverse women. i love you romantic women. i love you strange women.

no matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and consclentiously,

unknown friends will come and seek you

you have more degrees of freedom than you think

you can completely reinvent yourself in well under a year with sufficient commitment

you probably make at least one decision every day which will meaningfully alter the path you’re on if you change it

this is terrifying but it’s also maybe the best thing about being alive

as long as you’re breathing, there’s a chance

May the next version of your life feel like a deep breath.

Chic and cringe are twin sisters and sometimes they switch places!!!

Focus on what you want. Disregard that which ought to remain in the past. Focus on your desires. Disregard the rest. Focus. Focus. Focus. Especially on what you want to grow. Multiply your most delicious desires. Fucking alchemize your present reality into your wildest fantasy.

” It’s amazing what happens when you put your interests out into the universe and make it known what you want - you just have to know what it is. For me, I didn’t want anything except to feel new every day. I wanted to try different things. I felt alive. ”

- Lana Del Rey

TIME IS NOT REFUNDABLE.

USE IT WITH INTENTION.

Just be who you say you are

“To try to not be more interesting but be more interested” literally changed my life perspective btw

The best loves are the soft ones. The ones you don’t see coming. The ones that grow over time, with gentle smiles and slow touches. From small talks to touching lips. From brushing fingers against each other to holding each other with steady hands. From friends to lovers. From secret glances to dreamy eye contact.

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

all we can do is be sincere

Staying consistent even when it’s not immediately rewarding is where the shift happens.

my mind is very beautiful and it’s going to take me very far.

being multidimensional is protective. a boy breaks my heart but my friends take me out for ice cream. I don’t get into my dream school but I get my first comment on my YouTube video. I burn the brussels sprouts but I nail the cinnamon buns. the more pieces I add to my foundation the less I am shaken by the earthquake

a deep connection can’t be formed without emotional safety. without safety, there’s no trust. without trust, there’s no vulnerability. without vulnerability, there’s no intimacy + without intimacy, there’s no true connection.

when I ask for signs I get them. I have a running list of signs I asked for and subsequently received within 24-48h. I have a running album called angel numbers and on a daily basis see 5-7 angel number combinations.

they really began to accelerate when I left my old apartment. It just goes to show how our living spaces affect our ability to truly receive guidance, some homes block your energy tremendously. some homes make you feel like everything is an uphill climb, and in others there is a peace and flow.

this blog will be renamed, most if not all posts archived & a fresh aesthetic implemented very soon.

✨all of my manifestations have a flow, and I am in it. I bless everything in my path. I bless everyone in my path✨
