desirability is such a distraction and as long as we are consistently invested in our own identity solely through the lens of desirability we will literally never progress ….the self objectification has to end at some point. like the denial of how much i truly have to offer outside of my own perceived desirability (which fluctuates anyway) is so disrespectful to myself tbh..i am so much more than this. we all are. i feel like the world is dead set on not ever cracking through the surface of things

sending so much love to everyone who feels like they’re never chosen as the best friend, as the partner, as the favorite. sending love to all of you who have been treated and felt like second best. sending love to all of you who have felt rejected and unwanted. to all of you who have had to try really hard to fit in because you felt like you never will. 

you are so loved. you will be seen and heard by the right people. you can trust that you are valuable and not defined by other people’s perceptions of you. if someone doesn’t see your worth, it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

Never underestimate the power of taking one single step forward.

Be patient. For what was written for you was written by the greatest of Writers.

thinking about this message from me mam that she sent me back when i was in uni. it literally is just a pinprick in the tapestry of life!!

Realistically I could never get rid of tumblr because it gives me the illusion of a community of strange young women all around my same age, all slowly figuring out how to live too

Your partner should be a safe space, not another battle.

Lord may the people I attract into my life be consistent and clear with their affections and intentions. May they know me see me and appreciate me always. May they be receptive to my affections and intentions. May they be true, steady givers of grace. May they be curious and non-deceptive. Should they make error against me, may they take responsibility to humbly inspire my forgiveness. Should I cross them ever by mistake, may they be knowing of my heart. May we never be confused. May clarity grow bigger forever in the space between us. May my life be a meadow for the sweetest flowers. Amen!
