I started doing this a year ago when I got out of a really traumatic situationship. (NO NOT YOU) Every night before bed I hug myself and say “I love you Comet”. It sounds totally tiktok therapy brain but it really has boosted my confidence at least 10%

Sometimes if I'm by myself and I can't sleep, I just say (in my head) "I love you, _____" to whoever comes to mind.
Once I've gone through all of the obvious loves of my life who I see regularly, people I almost entirely forgot about will come to mind which is sweet, and sometimes people I don't like will come to mind, but because I'm so sleepy I'm like ok whatever all is forgiven love you, which is freeing.
Anyway it feels like I'm sending little wishes to everyone :)

Love can mean so many things to so many people, and it’s said with so many different intentions behind it. It helps to start by understanding your own definition and what you mean to convey.
For me, it’s not something I reserve for only romantic partners or family, but I do keep it to a smaller group of people. I need to feel safe and vulnerable in order to say it to someone, so it often comes with a level of trust that’s been built in that relationship.
Since the pandemic began, I have tried to say it more and more often to those I feel such strong affection and care toward. The past several years have reminded me of how unpredictable and impermanent life can be, so there is no point in waiting.
I probably tell my partner I love them 15x a day because I do and I want them to know it. And I try to text my friends that I love them weekly (more or less) as they cross my mind. Sometimes it‘s just a text that says, “Hey, I love you.”
You don’t need to use the word love frivolously if you don’t feel it but, if you do, don’t hold back either. ❤️

or your inner prompting, or whatever you prefer to call it
I was getting emotional last night past midnight thinking of a college friend I hadn’t heard from in a while (we talk briefly a few times a year), so I sent her a Marco Polo telling her how much I miss her and admire her and how proud I am of the work she’s been doing and that I just love her so much and wanted her to know
She messaged me back in tears because she’d had some really heavy blows to her self-esteem lately and hearing a friend tell her out of the blue all the reasons she was awesome was exactly what she needed
I know variations of this sentiment go around often here but it bears repeating!! Tell people you love them and why! 💌

I LOVE QUITTING. I always have. I’ve never understood people who live their lives in misery doing things they don’t want to do. Obviously if there’s something you enjoy don’t quit just because it gets hard. BUT IF YOU HATE IT WALK AWAY. You can always change your mind later. (YES YOU CAN) I have quit too many things to count and quitter was my childhood nickname. Live the life you want today. Try things and quit them.

This shade of blue is the color of my aura. It’s my color for 2025, I realized it when I painted my nails this color and saw a Yves Klein painting in London. I held my nails up to the painting and my world changed. Cobalt is REALLY close but not the same.

Literally everyone hates this movie!!! It’s my number one comfort film and it doubles as a Christmas movie. It is a beautifully shot and scored two hour masterpiece of Kristen Stewart overacting as Princess Diana. I wish I had made it. It’s brilliant!!! I put it on at my Thanksgiving party and every single guest left.
