“Let us talk through the night, with neon signs illuminating our faces, about what you love and what gives you wings Look at me and I will just pretend I was one of these things.” - // i wrote this on the road j.d.m.

I climbed three trees today. Pretty sure it gave me five years of added life. Do the things you miss, the things you falsely believe there isn’t any time for, the things that seem out of reach…especially if it’s life-giving and fills you with the sweetest of deep breaths. I breathed here. I paused and beheld the Glory around and thanked God for a rare moment of silence and stillness. Please slow down, Darling, and climb those trees that are beckoning you to rest. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7kYMrglRns/?igshid=1iyl0je6inifs
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is grass in the beginning.”
— Vincent Van Gogh (via goodreadss)
When I was being trained for the job I have right now, which mainly consists of meeting, helping, and communicating with others, my boss told me that he’d like for me to under-promise and over-deliver, and i’ve never gotten that out of my head, because it means that being dependable means speaking conservatively and acting liberally on behalf of whoever I’m helping, and I love that. That isn’t my natural form of interaction. I dream big and I’m sloppy with my promises. I mean them at the time, but I often don’t follow through because I forget or I lose track of time–I speak optimistically, not realistically. He asked me to speak realistically and then to act in such a way that impresses optimism. I think that’s a great way to go about life–to be humble, to not overestimate yourself, to not speak in definitives, to leave room and grace for yourself to be fallible, and then when you’re able, go above and beyond what you said you’d do, because that’s how you become a reliable person.
