~ Someone Please Bury My Heart With This Show Because I Just Finished Watching It And I Can’t. I Just

~ My favorite quote from ‘I Am Not A Robot’. I think Ji Ah and Min Kyu make one of the cutest, prettiest K-drama couples.🌼  ~

~ Do you value the love you so willingly give? ~ . Our generation glorifies givers. Being a hardcore one myself, I think that while the act of giving is beautiful, it has to be valued. . Do I value my giving? Do I value the quality of love I am offering? Or do I pour it in people, places, things without being aware of its worth, its sanctity? . We will always meet people who aren't ready to receive what we have to give. At times like these, if we truly value our giving, we will learn to redirect that love to a vessel, a heart, that's more ready to hold it, cherish it and nourish it. . Giving is beautiful, giving is a gift. May we learn to deeply value it and tax it up a bit.

“Real time is slower than social-media time, where everything feels urgent. Real time often includes periods of silence, reflection, growth, space, self-forgiveness, processing with loved ones, rest, and responsibility."

I tried something out of my comfort zone the other day. Inspired by @milkyystudy I decided to do a stickers-inspired spread and it turned out quite delicious.✨🌼 . . Stickers from: @thepagemark @noonchie.co @stationerymoon_21 (Using someone's art in your journal is priceless.💕) . Celebrated my first MT washi tapes as well.🌼 . . Music: Lay Down Beside You Musician: Carl Storm (@carlstormofficial )

~ Favorite stills from Ep.4, Izakaya Bottakuri: One evening, Aki-chan shows up feeling demotivated and unsure of her contribution as a colleague. The other guests along with Mine & Kaoru help her to see her true worth. On today’s menu: pickled cucumbers, deep fried tofu with minced meat, a wannabe quiche and a ‘bottakuri’ take on margaritas. ~ 

In a world full of 'Instagrams' be a Tumblr.

"In the past, she used to live by mantras like passion and willpower, as if by imprinting the words on her mind, they would somehow breathe meaning into her life. Then one day she realised it felt like she was driving herself into a corner, and she resolved never to let those words dictate her life again. Instead, she learnt to listen to her body, her feelings, and be in happy places. She would ask herself these questions: does this place make me feel positive? Can I be truly whole and uncompromisingly myself? Do I love and treasure myself here?"

“My love language is reminding you of your power.” ~ @galadarling

~ We give so much of our time to things that do not benefit us. I realize this as I struggle with staying off my phone. But becoming aware each time we’re giving away our time to what isn’t good for us, and pausing to reflect and change is a practice. 

🌸 I hope we keep practicing making better choices, to feel and live better. 🌸 ~

- a note from today

“Miracles don’t exist. It’s the little heroes inside us working together. The donations that quietly pile up. The small acts of kindness done by kind people. It’s just the result of all the good deeds you’ve done. You just think it’s a miracle.” ~ When the Camellia Blooms ~
