i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing
sometimes someone is acting selfish because they just didnt think you had any interest in what theyre hogging. sometimes you dont get invited to the movies because your friend could have sworn that you said no. sometimes you think someone is mad at you because theyre bad at hiding how little sleep they got. we are all like little worlds that briefly crash into one another from time to time and we just arent physically capable of seeing the whole picture at once in those moments. and learning that really changed everything!
it’s october. it’s autumn. it’s time for long walks, reading sessions, writing, baking cookies, carrying books in tote bags, listening to soft music as it rains, more reading and more writing.
It’s the simple things; like the sun outside your window, the birds in the trees, the happiness in your heart; that give life meaning. Breathe. Take notice.
I’m so proud of you for trying, for getting up time after time. For seeking happiness, despite the storm around. For staying strong, even when you want to be weak. For being brave enough to choose light. I’m very proud<3
