It Takes Time.

“When we base our connections off physical, we lose how it could feel to talk to someone about their biggest fears. We lose the nights staying up way too late comparing dreams. We miss out on relationships built by trust and kindness and vulnerability. We lose the emotional aspect, the part that equates to longevity and something real. When we base our attraction on the physical alone, we forget that there is so much more to a person than what meets the eye. We learn that there are layers to each of us, some dark and some bright, and all these layers make us who we are, make us human and worthy of love. When we base our attraction off appearance, we lose out on the people who will love us for us. Because we don’t see them noticing the depth of who we are—we’re too busy searching for a perfection we’re never going to find. When we base our attraction on pictures, on bodies, on superficial or lust-filled aspects of people, we chase relationships that aren’t meaningful. We chalk up people to images. We objectify instead of learn who someone is. And we hold ourselves back from finding something, someone confusing and complicated and wonderful and real.”

I had to take a short break from my PhD because I had so much work to do for my actual job. Now I'm using my holidays to make some progress...

moving out in december and im going to miss this view more than anything ever

At the end of the day I’m just a girl who likes to bask in sunlight and read books and make silly little annotations and eat fruit and be grateful and find the joy in the mundane and understand that everything is temporary and be completely disconnected when the time calls for it

The fourth Secret to life is that a walk can really do wonders for your mood (s e r o t o n i n)

went on the mistiest foggiest hike this weekend

sunday, september 17th, 2023 | 49/100 days of productivity

I woke up in a grumpy mood, but I did some yoga and then sat on the balcony and drank some tea while I started a reread of Braiding Sweetgrass. it's one of my favorite books and I really wanted to reread it this year. just reading the first few pages snapped me out of my bad mood <3

today's self-care:
