"The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal, and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to."
[TEXT ID: Little things that aren't little at all — Eye contact. "I admire the way you see the world." Comfortable silence. "This made me think of you." Sharing music (a love language) "You make me feel less alone." Kept promises. Chosen family. "Text me when you get home." When someone remembers a small detail about you, or a story you care about told. The way someone you says your name. "Go look at the sky right now." Reciprocity. "See you soon." Finding human beings who care just as deeply as you. "I like the way I feel when I am with you." Feeling like you've known someone forever, even though you just met. "I'm proud of you." END ID]
"To be in love is to fill your soul with beauty, you don't need another human being for that.. you can love your morning coffee, you can fall in love with a sunrise.. you can adore flowers, oh how the time flies. You can be in love with someone and they could never know, you can love art, books, food, even your fav show.. you can love the color pink or red or orange, you can love who you are too, even if your pages are torn. You can love sunsets and walks in the park, you can love puppies and kittens, or just sitting in the dark.. there are so many things to love in this world, fill yourself with them and you will find your happiness.. look at the world with open eyes and you will find that so many things impress. Such is the way of beauty, and when you find the beauty in yourself.. that is the most beautiful of all."
Self love isn't just about loving yourself.. it's loving the world around you too - eUë
