Self worth is so vital to your happiness. If you don’t feel good about you, it’s hard to feel good about anything else.

It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you, and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story you free yourself, and you give other people permission to acknowledge their story as well.

We’re supposed to feel. We’re supposed to love. And hate. And hurt. And grieve. And break and be destroyed, and we build ourselves to be destroyed again, that is human. That is humanity, that’s being alive. That’s the point. That’s the entire point. Don’t avoid it. Don’t extinguish it.

I didn’t realise that cruel was a colour until I saw you wear it so well. I didn’t realise judgment was a shade of lipstick until I heard the viciously colourful words from yours lips as they fell.

Those who love you will never leave. Those who steal your happiness and confidence are simply thieves. And you don’t need them.

Always make sure you’re okay, and keep your own heart on the highest shelf. (via oceansinwildfires)

Some days I’m Van Gogh’s Starry Night other days I’m his suicide letter.

I knew she would give me no peace. When anything was not to her liking, she at once began to brood, and sank into a deep dejection that would last for a fortnight or three weeks. During that period my dinners were spoiled, my linen was mislaid, my floors went unscrubbed; in short, I had a great deal to put up with.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Connection with gardens, even small ones, even potted plants, can become windows to the inner life. The simple act of stopping and looking at the beauty around us can be prayer.

So we'll live, and pray and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh At gilded butterflies ... And take upon us the mystery of things As if we were Gods' spies.

Shakespeare, King Lear
