A Big Part Of Being Happy Is Being Excited. Be Excited For Everything - Making A Cup Of Tea, Decorating

Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

don't care + didn't ask + i see beauty in things you wouldn't even begin to ponder

& you know what it actually IS lifechanging to smile at strangers & say please & thank you & goodmorning & compliment someones outfit & help someone in need & be more accepting of loving other people just because they are other people!!!

it really, honestly, truly does get better. i fucking promise. it takes a lot of work and a lot of effort, and you will make mistakes but once you finally start making progress you never look back. it's like i got a new lease on life, a second chance. it's like some higher being picked me up by the scruff of my neck, dusted me off and said, "you need to get better. not for anyone else, but for you," and i fucking did. life is so fucking amazing. people are so fucking amazing. even if it seems like the entire world is against you, i can guarantee you there is at least one person rooting for you. you just have to find them.

i think love is stored in nighttime conversations and “did you eat yet” and books left outside your door and “i waited to watch this with you” and splitting something in half to share and “im proud of you” and folded towels and “you can pick” and heads on shoulders and “you’re right, that was shitty. im sorry” and knocks on doors and “DINNER!” and stupid jokes and “hey i got this for you” and coffee made just right and… there are so many ways people say i love you silently every day over and over again if you only listen
