“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

― Jamie Anderson

expressing your needs, your emotions, your boundaries and your concerns will not drive away people that are committed to being in your life. wanting to be treated with respect, knowing your worth and acting accordingly is never asking for too much in any kind of safe or healthy connection.

Gentleness is so important. Gentleness of the heart. Gentleness of the spirit. Gentleness in one’s aura. Gentleness in one’s own motivations and actions. Gentleness that is both embodied and practiced.

my love language: making sure you feel safe enough to be vulnerable with me.

Quiet rainy day.

“My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature.”

- Claude Monet

rainy days, good books, coffee, tea, cold weather, autumn season, sweaters, the smell of pastries or baked goods, sunsets and sunrises, gorgeous buildings, and libraries with high ceilings.

“There are two types of people you will meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that peak their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe unfold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book.”

Just a reminder that you can set boundaries even when someone is trying to do the right thing. Maybe they're being too affectionate and you feel suffocated. Maybe you need some alone time. Maybe you're just not ready for affection yet. People who care about you will respect this.
