maybe the purpose of life is to fill it with as many positive things as you can. regardless of how bad life gets, don’t let it steal your personality, your hobbies, your style. after coming home from a bad day at work maybe you need to sit down and read a nice book. after studying non-stop for so long, maybe you should finish that crochet project you’ve been putting off because you’re so busy. maybe we should prioritize the things we love, the things that make us happy, and not just the things we’re forced to do to survive. in this society, a little peace from the outside world is important. don’t give up on the things that make you happy. don’t forget about yourself.

“when your body tells you someone or something isn’t good for you, create the space to listen. trust the vibrations, the lingering feelings, the inexplicable hesitance, trust the way your intuition is trying to find a language that makes sense to your nervous system.”

That’s the thing about having a relationship with yourself. It’s figuring out

What you like outside of what you were exposed to

What you look good in

What colors match your eyes and skin tone

What makeup suits your face shape/structure

What music calms your body

What part of you needs the most love and affection

What hair colors and tones look timeless on you

What your essence is

Do you like sweet or savory breakfast? Ice cream or cake or an espresso for dessert

Do you prefer reading, watching, listening or writing

Do you actually like night clubs or haven’t been to the theater

Take time to know YOU as you would a lover or a friend

good things to pay attention to more often

the color of trees

clouds and how they look different throughout the day

the different colors the mornings can have. sometimes it's an orange hue and sometimes pink and sometimes it's too misty to tell

pretty color schemes in random places (the trees and your neighbors wooden patio and the color of their car)

the states of the vehicles passing you by, dents and scratches and the different trinkets suspended from their rearview mirrors

the sound of silence

the shadows the lights cast in your home, like how sunset looks different than sunrise, and the shadows the sun casts look different than those of your lamps and candles

pretty details in buildings and houses like certain types of windows or doorknobs or archways

the movement of things in the wind. flags, leaves, flowers, people's hair and coats

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”
