craving a conversation that doesn't feel like waiting for a reply

Stillness is not absence—

it is presence multiplied.

repeat after me:

my experiences are universal and provide an undeniable framework for understanding all of reality

nobody else is capable of understanding my experiences and i am, nobly, alone in this world

[yetanotherselenophile]

One thing about me is when I don’t care anymore, you’re going to feel it.

They don't need me in the way that i need them, and i think that's the most painful thing i've ever experienced.

You’re responsible for your own development. You don’t have to wait until others forgive or validate you. You don’t have to hold yourself to an impossible standard to ‘prove’ that you’re a better person. All you have to do is decide that you are and back that up with actions, because what truly makes you a good person is the fact that you care about being one. Not others telling you that you are.

The trick is to be more curious than you're scared.

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.
