“Life Is A Series Of Natural And Spontaneous Changes. Don’t Resist Them; That Only Creates Sorrow.

There's so much peace in going to farmers market, cooking, reading, slow living in general...

You really have to be judicious when approaching the dating scene. It’s fine to consult and ask friends for advice, but don’t take advice from someone who’s decisions/values/beliefs/morals don’t align with yours. Don’t let the clingy friend give you advice, don’t let the cynical friend brainwash you, don’t let the impatient friend convince you of something you don’t believe. Sure, at any one given time, one of them may be right, but what do you think? How do you feel? You are not your friends.

Your state of mind is the most important aspect of living. Never forget that.

“Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.”

warm concepts to remember: seeing something in nature so beautiful that it makes you pause! the affection you feel about seeing your pet or plant thrive! finishing a long day and feeling peace with yourself! finding a random town that feels like home! waking up and having a comforting morning routine! taking a deep breath in nature and filling your lungs with fresh air! finding a beautiful pebble and rolling it in between your fingers! there is so much beauty out in the world and it is waiting for you to fall in love with it!

“The world isn’t filled with ‘haters’ and ‘toxic people.’ It’s filled with people who are hurting and trying, ineffectively, to give themselves some relief. So distance yourself if you must, but try to do it with empathy, not judgment. The only cure for ‘haters’ is love, so try to show them more kindness than they showed you. This is how we can slowly make the world a more loving place.”
