showing comfort

holding hands tightly during a difficult moment

cuddling under a blanket while watching their favorite show

preparing calming tea and sitting together in silence

gently kissing the forehead or top of the head

cooking a favorite meal to cheer up a friend.

listening attentively without judgment

reading aloud to calm them down

grabbing the other’s hand in big crowds

staying physically close, so they know their not alone

giving them a care package with their favourite items

stroking their hair or rubbing their back

reminding them how strong they are

taking a friend on an impromptu adventure

soothing them back to sleep after a nightmare

holding them tightly, protectively

sending supportive text messages throughout the day

telling them a bedtime story

anyway I’m feelin out the sadness

[lastdaysofus]

You already have it.

[lastdaysofus]

Stop guessing what other people are thinking.

Anyone. It’s not your business they will say. Don’t be the understanding and over caring person. It’s not your job to check in other people emotions.

Focus on your goals and your priorities.

Do your work. Follow your routine.

[lastdaysofus]

It doesn’t have to that tough or any at all ; it’s easy. And so easy for me to achieve.

[lastdaysofus]

I love how whenever I wish happy new year and shimmer my hands. like glittering and shimmimg.

[lastdaysofus]

No one can ever make me feel what I don't want to. I wouldn't allow it. Every decision that I make is right and taken by myself.
