stop calling it your desired face, desired body, desired height, desired whatever. it is your face. it is your body. it is your height. you already have your desires as soon as you thought of it. live in the end and persist, meaning maintain the feeling of being that person. why should you worry if you already have your desires?

I'm the only one to whom I owe any sort of explanation for what i am and what i like

and i also usually don’t even care an explanation

[mkjsofja]

don’t ever idolize a person. don’t ever put someone on a pedestal

[mkjsofja]

i’m too proud to love

and i know it’s a curse

but darling,

the pain of tearing down

all my walls

is too much to bear

for my sensitive heart

[mkjsofja]

and remember, persistence is just another word for faith

[mkjsofja]

truth is

my soul is yours

always been

always will be

i cannot be saved

i found out that the best way to manifest good for yourself is by trying to manifest good for others; is by visualizing the good, the health, the abundance, the happiness coming to other people, may they be family members or complete strangers. by wishing the well, by blessing them you bless yourself and you become a magnet for all the gold in the world
