forgive yourself. forgive yourself for not being where you dreamed you would be. forgive yourself for all the wrong things you said. forgive yourself for the times you messed up even when you’ve tried your best. forgive yourself for the way you hurt, belittle, or abandon yourself in the past or in the present. forgive yourself for not being perfect. you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy (of love, understanding, compassion, kindness).
you can always start again. clean up your socials, make new playlists, donate clothes you no longer wear. try out a new recipe, move to a new city and make new friends, pick up new hobbies you never thought of before. there is no limit to how many times you can press the reset button. it's okay to change and start over. you don't need anyone's permission to do it.
“We tie strings on fingers, thinking that memories lie in motionless lonliness, the private encounters of words and colours only whispered when shadowed emotions bring us back to those summer nights. If we only remembered the present, we would forget the word for nostalgia.”
— words from a book I keep forgetting to write.
“I cherish the moments when I am reborn. When I look at a face I’ve seen a thousand times and notice something new. When I catch myself listening to someone speak just to remind myself they are a part of my life. When I feel my own heartbeat within my wrist, and instead of counting down, I count up. And that’s when I realize: I am both a destroyer and a creator, a goddess and a god, a finale and a prologue. I am both engulfed in flames and reborn from ashes every moment I am breathing, because I am my own kind of beautiful chaos.”
— I live for the days when I feel alive.
