to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.

Maria Gray, from “Bad Nostalgia”

Anaïs Nin, from a letter to Rupert Pole, featured in Trapeze: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin, 1947-1955

one of the best feelings is being caught off guard by someone’s kindness towards you, especially when you’re having a bad day, and you can’t stop thinking about it for the next two weeks

i love how we pick up habits and phrases and songs from people we love and it sticks with us for so long it becomes a piece of us making us a museum of all the people we've ever loved

love yourself despite it all. love yourself even when you said the wrong thing. when you messed up in class. when you got a grade you didn’t like. when you haven’t been outside in a week. accept yourself in spite of it all. accept yourself even if you didn’t get into the university you wanted. when you broke up with someone you thought you would stay with forever. when the guilt is eating you alive. when you feel like you can’t take it anymore. you are already whole, you are enough.
