Feeling Validated, Heard, Seen, And Acknowledged In A Friendship Is So Important. It’s The Most Beautiful

november mood

a cold wind and the warm lights of the city in the dark evening air as you walk home after a long day

typing away at your laptop in candlelight, chocolates and their empty golden wrappers by your side

leather gloves, a cashmere scarf and a fresh blowout to complement your cosy long coat

a board game night with family or friends, music playing quietly in the background as you forget everything else to be present with your loved ones

black ink flowing on notebook pages as you plan for what is left of the year, goals and aspirations clearer to you than ever

long, misty weekend morning walks in the countryside, wearing wellies and a waxed jacket older than you

embracing the coming winter season by focusing on what is essential, spending less time on your phone and more time on consistently working on your tasks before december comes

the atmosphere of a wood-paneled neighbourhood restaurant, olives and glasses of champagne at the table, tiramisu for dessert

reading in your favourite armchair, a soft white jumper and woollen socks keeping you warm

physics is so cool because after such a long time the little kid in you finally gets the answers to their questions and nothing makes me happier than that

the “did you have lunch? it’s alright, just have dinner a little early!” kind of friendships. the “are you in the mental space to listen right now” kind of friendships. the “i’ll just send a voice note for later” kind of friendships. friendships where you respect each other’s emotional boundaries. friendships where you remind them to have lunch but make sure you are not burdening them with it. friendships where you communicate. friendships where you are on your own individual journeys but are navigating life together. friendships which help you grow. healthy friendships. i think we have talked much about the pain of losing a friend. let’s also talk about the joy of having one.

Essence of an INTP

Some days you are a scientist, other days you are an artist.

On your best days : both.

They really don't seem all that different to you

my brain is broken.

so I was looking at humans are weird prompts right

"And you tried to change, didn't you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake... You can't make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love."

-Warsan Shire
