You didn't have the knowledge and tools you have back then, that you have now. You cannot judge your former self based off of the person you are now

Please stop attacking the past versions of you. They were doing their best at the time and they got you here. It’s amazing how much progress you’ve made and how much you’ve grown but please don’t think your past self lacked worth in any way.

I would rather be deemed selfish, than be seen as a doormat.

I wasn't placed in this world to be a sacrifice for other people's emotions and carnal desires. I'm neither a martyr nor a savior. I cannot break myself down to build others up, and I will no longer pretend that I can.

*through gritted teeth* you are not a child taking a test with the purpose of getting the highest score, you are an adult trying new things and finding ways to enjoy your life, make mistakes, be a beginner, be mediocre, be where you need to be, be unlikeable, just. be.

Half of the it girls are really ordinary looking. Like not to say they aren't attractive, but I've seen plenty girls with similar features walking past me on a downtown street.

This observation alone made me realize how idiotic comparison is. Nothing she has, is out of your reach technically speaking. It all depends on whether you are going to be stuck in a cycle of mimicking everything everyone else does, or step into the driver seat and live by your own terms and conditions. Pave your own way, don't keep following in other people's footsteps

I want to take a sledgehammer to the corner you occupy in my head

“I was always ashamed to take. So I gave. It was not a virtue. It was a disguise.”

Why would I settle to spend my life bound to a man who doesn't view or speak of me the way Hozier does to the love interests in his songs.

Why did this make me teary eyed

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

That moment when you start collecting herbs for the aesthetic, then end up being a herbal fanatic with a whole cupboard dedicated to herb jars.
