I don't want anything today
It's like I want to get hurt today
And tomorrow I want a new day with renewed vigor
Being a good person is a choice. Donāt let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.
Every single time you do something good, youāve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.
Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, Iām proud of you, and Iām rooting for you!
build a circle of friends who are genuine. who are safe energetically. who are mature spiritually. who hold space and not animosity. who hold compassion and not judgment. who take time to check on you and your process. who grow through life with you + wish you well.

one thing i need to start living by is ābecome the thing that you wantā if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i wonāt find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe thatās good enough.
