turns out that being compassionate towards myself during moments of uncertainty and stress is the best thing i can do for myself
maybe you should kiss a cat on its tiny little head then you'll feel better
“You’ll ache. And you’re going to love it. It will crush you. And you’re still going to love all of it. Doesn’t it sound lovely beyond belief?”
— Ernest Hemingway, The Garden of Eden
I love days when it feels easy to find beauty in everything
- a calm peaceful mind
at the end of the day it’s just you and your silly little life. so go on, enjoy it, be the person you want to be.
i was in the grocery store and saw an onion on the ground and picked it up, absently saying “poor little guy.” behind me a teenage girl started laughing and then stopped and went “aww. i’m sorry for laughing. that’s nice actually.” and the cycle of cruelty is broken for another generation as a young person realizes that it is not embarrassing to have empathy for another thing that was once living, because certainly to be a lone white onion rolling on the ground in a supermarket would be terrifying to anyone
life is so ruthless so i must love you as hard as i can. basically
