what makes me feel human is embracing the lows just as much as the highs and allowing the feeling to move through you, through crying, through dancing, through writing, through singing, through laughing, through aching
Feel them hard and strong
Feel sad when you’re sad
Feel mad when you’re mad
Make space for joy to come through
Don’t make yourself suffer, let them pass Make lists of gratitude
Feel the sunshine
Move your body
Cuddle with a stuffie, an animal, a person
Eat nourishing food
Eat sugary fun food Treat yourself as if you are your own child, and you are your own mother. Be tender with yourself. It might take time, dear, but the light always comes back.
I just got broken up with
there’s a straNge kind of beauty in this sadness. not tHe kind anyone would wish for, but the kind that makes you rEalize you’re alive in the deepest way. it’s raw — and somewhere beneath it, i admire myself for feeling it. for not turning away. for staying soft, even as something inSide me breaks.
it’s not freeing. it’s not relief. it just is. this matters. this was real.
i feel everything, and though it weiGhs me down, there’s a strAnge moment where i see myself clearly in the sorrOw. so alive in my sadness. so real.
Sadness is the prerequisite for happiness. Let yourself feel down when you don’t get that job, allow the tears to flow after a breakup. You won‘t be able to feel the joy or gratitude in better moments without remembering those that stung the most.
saw this film for the first time and i cannot stop thinking about it !! i felt embarrassed to be a man, it is kind of haunting to know almost all men are capable of carrying out such disgusting, animalistic impulses; i can still remember the adrenaline pulsing through my veins as i witnessed *those* scenes so much to say about this, i put off watching this movie for a long time but i really appreciated the film structure, it would not have worked the same way if structured chronologically
