note to self: alone is not lonely

It’s strange how much time people spend seeking that one person who’ll make them “whole”.

But alone is not lonely.

You are you, and you couldn’t be as whole as you are now. You have to stop turning your realities upside down for the sake of finding love where there is none. Because you should take all the time you need to fall in love with yourself.

Fall in love with the times you don’t have to fight someone over what series to watch on Netflix. Fall in love with your freedom and your quiet thoughts. Fall in love with your scars and bruises and your flyaway hair.

Take all the time you need.

Because alone is not lonely.

Alone is not lonely.

 

A/N: wrote this in 2014 after stepping out of a relationship to work on my self-esteem. five years later i've found all the confidence i need, and am no longer constantly looking for 'the half to complete my whole'. proud of how far i've come. not sure who needs to hear this, but you can definitely do it too. xx

note to self: for when life gives you too many lemons

The truth about life is that its essence is instability, despite our desperate attempts at routine. We play to prevent the plot twists but we shouldn’t.

There is beauty in the arbitrary and wonder in the odd.

Just remember the number pi and know that at some scale it is inevitable to find a pattern in the randomness of it all.
