'I Should Have Been More Kind'

'I should have been more kind'

That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself, when you are old, "Ah , I wish I was never good to that person ." You will never think that.

Khaled Hosseini ( And the mountains echoed)

Let it end.allow it to escape your grasp. if it is meant to be yours it will find it's way back to you. choose peace. give yourself permission to breathe a little easier in it's absence. resist the urge to try to control the outcome. all will be okay.

Nothing that's meant for you will ever pass you by and you can never mess up something that is already yours !!

"Two roads diverged in a wood,

And I-

I took the one less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference."

~ Robert Frost

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

Why would you let someone, who has never been through even a fraction of what you have in life, convince you that you're 'sensitive' or 'overemotional' .

You know what it's like to deal with shitty people and you're protecting yourself by being observant.don't feel bad for that!

“what I struggle with most is to take back the power i once gave to someone. i find it difficult to tell them that they are no longer welcome in my home anytime of the day or that I would prefer to not sit with them at the same table here onwards.”

i hope you never become one of them
