The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.
“Flowers teach hope and patience. Flowers teach tenderness. Flowers teach futility and amazement. You know me, I am always willing to learn. Besides, it is spring. The beautiful forces of nature refuse to remain silent and I feel like observing everything.”
— Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to J. M. Murry written c. April 1922 (via violentwavesofemotion)
“Now every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What darkness did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes.”
— Unknown
“Different is attractive.”

“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
— Carl Jung
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!
“What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!”
— Alfred Adler
