for my lonely girls: i remember fka twigs said when she was in her early 20s/in uni she had literally no friends and spent most her time alone or with her mom…idk its very comforting to think abt if you feel like you’re unsatisfied in friendships rn (because, as you can see in her album, twigs found her people finally 🥰)
we’re still young and sometimes that’s hard to remember
“The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it’s a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers – of persistence, concentration, and insight – to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply. So stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don’t let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don’t force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way.”

”At times failure is very necessary for the artist. It reminds him that a failure is not the ultimate disaster. And this reminder liberates him from the mean fussing of perfectionism.”

Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me Transcending space and time And I was a rendered still There were no words for me to find at all Or as I stood there beside myself I could see you and no one else
EUPHORIA S02E07 | “The Theater and It’s Double”
I think we need to talk more about this scene and just how a sweet flickering moment was can have so much depth to it. I chose this MC song (if anyone can edit videos that would be amazing) ,because once you listen to it really highlights this scene.
Jules: I’m cold
Rue: Here take my jacket
Lexi: I’m cold
Fez: Hey, Ma, take my jacket, you can have my green sweater too since that’s your favorite.
Fez: *knocks Nate’s ass out* Take this bitch’s jacket too.
Fez: *pulls out lighter and starts piling furniture together* Yo, bonfires are warm too, wanna bonfire, ma?
and I can’t be without you why can’t I find no one like you?

Resisting the feminine urge to say I love you to everyone I have a positive interaction with
Te quiero.
I love you.
Je t'aime.
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting next to them and knowing that you can never have them.
Love in the Time of Cholera
“He was still too young to know that the heart’s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past.”
— Gabriel García Márquez, from Love in the Time of Cholera (Alfred A. Knopf, 1988)
“Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow.”
— Paulo Coelho

Resilience is KEY.
Normality is a paved road;
It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow.
