I want to watch a thunderstorm on a balcony with coffee and good company.
I appreciate those people who are just genuinely nice. Like their mindset is instead of making others miserable, they give people tools to better themselves because why not. Thanks for putting that good energy out into the universe.
If it moves you, if it inspires you, if it makes you happy, let it.
so many ppl from your past know a version of u that no longer exists
You are a work in progress, so please don’t expect yourself to be perfect all the time. That puts way too much pressure on your beautiful soul. Respect where you’re at, and enjoy where you travel. You’re getting there.

“Breathe, darling. This is just a chapter. It’s not your whole story.”

if you need to hear it, then this is for you: forgive yourself for your regrets. you have grown since then, changed since then, and learned from your mistakes. you’re not the same person anymore, so here is your signal. it’s time to let the pain go.
Things that can Destroy your Motivation
1. Not having goals. You can’t reach your goals if you don’t know what they are.
2. Choosing goals that don’t inspire you. You won’t be able to keep on going if the prize at the end doesn’t really matter to you.
3. Expecting immediate results. Anything worthwhile is a battle and a struggle. It takes times and effort to bring about a change.
4. Lack of support. We all need someone to believe in us and to be our cheerleader when we start to feel discouraged.
5. Not believing in yourself. As Henry Ford so wisely said: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.”
6. Feeling bored. Most success involves a lot of humdrum work, and repeatedly doing the same kind of stuff. But each day brings you closer to achieving what you want.
7. Inaction and laziness. You have to work the plan before the plan will work … and dreams are only dream till you turn your thoughts to actions. Also, it’s crucially important that you manage your time well, and you don’t get distracted or procrastinate.
8. Being around negative people. There are plenty of people who only see the flaws, and whose eyes are on the problems, and the absence of solutions. If you hang out with them, you will lose your zest and passion, and your positive outlook will soon be undermined.
9. Comparing yourself to others. We each are individuals, and we start from different places; we all face different challenges, and work at different rates. Remember “it’s your journey”. Be patient with yourself.
10. Encountering setbacks. No matter how great your plans, or your level of commitment, you’re bound to face some setbacks and encounter obstacles. That’s a normal part of growth – just keep going when life’s tough.
7 Things You Should Never Be Ashamed Of
1. Listening to your intuition.
2. Respecting and standing up for yourself.
3. Making your own choices/ living your own life.
4. Taking time for yourself/ investing in self care.
5. Feeling and respecting your own emotions.
6. Following your heart, and investing in your dreams.
7. Letting go of the past (that’s not who you are today.)
