forgive yourself. all you were doing was what you thought was best at the moment. you didn’t have all of the information or awareness that you do now. treat your past self with love and compassion, they did all they could.

at the end of the day it’s just you and your silly little life. so go on, enjoy it, be the person you want to be.

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.

actually i love growing older and learning how i work as a person like realizing what kinds of fabrics feel best on my skin or what brand of yogurt i like best or how I want to be touched. watching myself change, enjoying brussel sprouts when I used to hate them as a child, understanding why I got angry in that one conversation 10 years ago... there are so many mysteries inside me that i have yet to unravel and there will always be more and sometimes i think maybe its all worth it

You don’t need a good reason to exist right now. You don’t need a grand purpose or anything. Just be here, have a nice laugh, and be yourself. And if there’s a day where you aren’t able to do that, you have tomorrow and all your days after that. I love you.
