I Am Giving I Am Continuing I Am Acknowledging I Am Breathing I Am Feeling I Am Admiring I Am Constantly

Handle yourself with the care and love that you yearn, you do not deserve to be beat up over an event that took a gruesome toll on you, putting up with that time was hard, dealing with the absence of so many figures was hard, having the constant fear of having nobody to reach out to was hard. And you have every right to accept that, it was completely alright to accept that you wanted to be held and loved even in a time where a version of you believed that you couldn’t. Say yes to being embraced

Frank O'Hara, from Selected Poems; "Mayakovksy"

[Text ID: I love you. I love you, / but I'm turning to my verses / and my heart is closing / like a fist.]

Normalise not being ready to face a day, not every day is supposed to be your best , and not every day is supposed to be the most productive , at times you’re just ready to wake up and not be up for facing the rest of your tasks and thats ok , sometimes all you can do is survive and that’s more than enough :)

Settling does not equate to stagnating growth. You get to choose whether you want to move forward or be anchored down by what you choose to attach yourself onto. It's simple to emphasise the necessity of change and the need for adequate adaptation. Stressing the reality that change isn't always necessary—perhaps you've achieved your peak or have chosen a stable course for yourself—is equally vital. Give yourself time to realise where your wants and needs take you and whether it respects you. This does not necessarily imply that you don't want to leave your comfort zone, as you will still continue to grow endlessly.

Believe that you have the liberty to reach, direct and make the space that allows you to breath, to build walls that provide you shelter, warmth and support rather than one’s that are closing in on you. You have what it takes to create an environment that is comfortable for you to live in, and you have what it takes to learn to love yourself all over again. There are times when the places you live in, trigger responses out of you, and have you behave in a way that don’t necessarily define you at all. So you don’t have to wait around for a chance, or live under the false pretence of an image that isn’t you, because there will come a day when you will make a home that is full of you and have the freedom to define all its boundaries :)

it’s ok to admit that it’s one of those moments where you’re going to have to hold yourself tight

we have a baby peacock on the farm!! aaahh

Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken

The world seems to be ignoring this, so allow me to remind you all:
