God placed this on my heart so I want to share:
When I was younger I first became a Christian because I didn't want to go to hell. My faith was purely based on not wanting to go to hell so I would try hard not to sin that way I would go to heaven. However, that is such a watered-down version of why we should have faith. As I grew older I felt God was calling me to reexamine my faith and become close to Him. Over the past 2ish years I have grown so much because instead of being Christian simply to not go to hell my faith was built on my relationship with God. He is the friend, parent, and just love that I have always searched for and wanted. He is the true embodiment of love. If you are wondering why you should be a Christian it is because at your lowest moments, where you feel most broken, underserving, lost, etc. the answer is Christ. HE LOVES YOU, not in a cheesy way but in a way where he died for you to save you from yourself. He wants to show you His love, and he provides peace. It is in a relationship with Him that even though I worry, and feel burdened, I can still have peace because of his presence in my life.
I just pray that anyone reading this accepts Jesus Lord and seeks a relationship with Him. I pray they do not get caught up in the "aesthetics" and try to be "that Christian girl" or the perfect person so that they don't go to hell, but instead I pray they seek you so that they can feel your love so that they can feel your breath of life into their own lungs. I pray that all who read this find you, so that they can encounter the peace, and love I have in following and getting closer to you. Jesus is what you have been seeking. Amen.
there's so much pathologizing over why enemies to lovers is a popular trope (something something the normalization of abuse something something) when the simplest and less moronic answer is that narratives thrive on irony and reversals, and there's no greater irony than characters going from hating each other's guts to loving each other unconditionally. raw thesis-antithesis-synthesis.
Hello there✋👋 back to old city with new old dream and new goals. I hope Won't regret this decision. 😬🤎❣️
when the sun is rising, i hope all the warmth is stored inside you. when the sun goes down, i hope all your worries fade into dust. i love you from sunrise till sunset, without a break.
Gravity is a strange concept So many times I promised I’ll stop falling for what’s above me Like a fool, a slave of my heart Quixotic desires, shameless hunger Always longing for you Always paying the price.
I suppose this is the part where I pretend you mean nothing My feelings aren’t real You’re never on my mind Truth is it hurts to say All I see is you, Each and every time I close my eyes.
We’re from different worlds, I know But you should see my face and how it smiles When you’re around How you make the sun shine differently How every word you speak writes poetry How do I tell my heart I can’t have you Because it’s killing me?
I suppose this is the part where I pretend I don’t care You’re holding someone else’s hand I’m fine, moving on with life Truth is it hurts to say I love you, I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone.
I keep pretending just to get through the day Fake a smile, no one knows what I feel I tell myself I don’t love you I show the world I don’t need you But deep inside I know the truth It’s crazy to think I didn’t even lose you Because you were never mine.

You became like coffee, in the deliciousness, and the bitterness, and the addiction.

When Jim Morrison said: “It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.”
you’re allowed to simply Exist. productivity is not a competition that you are constantly losing, and you don’t need to earn your rest
there will never be a moment quite like this one again - take the picture
leave your work at work! those after hours emails can wait until morning to earn your time
how hard you work doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated
on that note, it’s okay to way to be noticed or appreciated for how hard you work
you’ll never stop surprising yourself
don’t forget that everything you do, you aren’t doing it for numbers or notoriety; you’re doing it for your younger self who would be so amazed you’ve done what you’ve done
no one will ever be as hard on you as you are on yourself
give yourself a break from time to time
doing your best is, in fact, doing enough
you’ll earn that money back but the memories are irreplaceable
disney is, in fact, the most magical place on earth
spending time with your best friend will truly heal your soul in ways you can never explain
you’re going to say the wrong thing. you’re going to do the wrong thing. being wrong is a part of life you can’t avoid
your anxiety will be so loud, it’s okay to ask to be loved louder
getting lost in a book is a great escape unlike any other
the more you focus on your recovery, the more you’re going to notice the habits that lead you to choose recovery
don’t hate yourself for sucking in your stomach in photos
don’t be so hard on yourself for having to actively make the decision to eat
just because it doesn’t come naturally to you, doesn’t mean it’s impossible for you to do
you can do hard things
the bad days can, and will, be forgotten
the good days can, and will, happen
when in doubt, shave your head
you don’t need to or be anyone that you aren’t; who you are is just fine
you’re hurting right now; you haven’t been hurting the entire time
even though it can be hard to remember such a time, there have been moments without pain
it’s okay that you didn’t cherish them at the time
