Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.
Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more.
You’re doing just fine.

Anonymous asked:
do u have any favorite quotes about soulmates?
A
Yes! They’re not all explicitly about soulmates, but they have that vibe, you know? Here’s a list of my top 5:
1.). “I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything.
Maybe we’re from the same star.” —Emery Allen ( @wethinkwedream)2.) “And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”—Kiersten White
3.) “But see, you came back to me. You always come back. In between and beyond the others. That’s my magic. You come back to me.” —Sandra Cisneros
4.) “I am no stranger to love and I am not waiting for you, because I believe we will be reborn, because I believe everything, and I believe that we will meet again and suffer together again.”—Richard Siken
5.) “He asked me when I planned to come back. Always, I said.” —Roberto Bolaño
Margaret Atwood, “Corpse Song”
Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they’re fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl. For a long time Cool Girl offended me. I used to see men – friends, coworkers, strangers – giddy over these awful pretender women, and I’d want to sit these men down and calmly say: You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who’d like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them. I’d want to grab the poor guy by his lapels or messenger bag and say: The bitch doesn’t really love chili dogs that much – no one loves chili dogs that much! And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They’re not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they’re pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be. Oh, and if you’re not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn’t want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version – maybe he’s a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he’s a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain. (How do you know you’re not Cool Girl? Because he says things like: “I like strong women.” If he says that to you, he will at some point fuck someone else. Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women.”)”

1. Think about what you love and do your best to incorporate those things into your daily life.
2. Think about who you love and who loves you and bask in the presence of each other as often as possible. This life is much too short to give energy to toxic environments and negative people.
3. Communication is key. Do your best to express your concerns or feelings whenever possible and appropriate. Listening is just as important, for it may help you process your own emotions/needs as well as understanding theirs.
4. Pour your heart into your craft, whatever it may be. And find the time to indulge in it as much as possible. You know, do what makes you happy. Often times this can be a means of helping others, in which we gain satisfaction vicariously.
5. Take care of your body, physical health is just as important. Eat all the food you love in moderation. Take walks, swim, ride bike. There are many forms of exercise you may find enjoyable.
6. Remember that tomorrow is another day, a fresh start. You can always try, again.
7. Remember that you are just as intelligent, just as beautiful, and just as deserving.
8. Allow yourself the time to heal, allow yourself whatever amount of time that may be.
9. Discover new artists, new music, individual’s with concepts you can relate to. Drown in what moves you.
10. Don’t be afraid to try something new and exciting, for new experiences may lead to a new found happiness in the most unexpected places, for the most unexpected things.

1. If you know someone is wrong don’t raise your voice, help them understand you, improve your argument.
2. Do something you love for a living. If you don’t love it, I hope you have the courage to change it. It’s never too late to be who you want to be.
3. Hold on to what you believe and your values, don’t let things get to your head.
4. Let yourself fall in love with people. With their honest moments, the breakdowns and the daydreams.
5. But also don’t let other people force you into a relationship. Relationships won’t always make you happy, they are magical and wonderful, but it’s also amazing to spend time with your friends or just reading a book by yourself.
6. It’s okay to feel lost. Living it’s hard, but we all feel it. Let yourself get lost, in books, music, art, in the small things in life
7. Make sure you have a safe place to go when you need to be alone and don’t feel bad for rejecting someone help, sometimes we just need some time alone.
8. Don’t feel anxious about small things, at the end of the day, they are just that, small and insignificant.
9. Don’t search for the perfect body, learn to love yourself. Each body distributes in its own way, you are special because you are unique.
10. Find someone you can share your dreams and hopes with, not someone you have to give up your dreams for them to accomplish theirs.
