“I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.” - Michelle K.
"it is not an evil thing to look at yourself with kindness. your life was never meant to be a punishment" - vic markmann j.
"You are not damaged. You are not socially handicapped. You are young and you are learning how to live." - ask polly
"Stop punishing yourself for being someone with a heart. You cannot protect yourself from suffering. To live is to grieve. You are not protecting yourself by shutting yourself off from the world. You are limiting yourself." - Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars
"When you are washing the dishes, washing the dishes must be the most important thing in your life. Just as when you are drinking tea, drinking tea must be the most important thing in your life. Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the whole world revolves— slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this actual moment is life." - Thich Nhat Hanh
"I want our summers
to always be like this—a kitchen wrecked
with love, a table overflowing with baked goods
warming the already warm air. After all the pots
are stacked, the goodies cooled, and all the counters
wiped clean—let us never be rescued from this mess."
― Aimee Nezhukumatathil, 'Baked Goods' from Lucky Fish
‘Filling Spice Jars as Your Wife’ by Kai Coggin
“Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
"We breathe together.
On our trip, we ask for what we need without fear;
we refill each other’s cups—
I didn’t know I could choose any of this."
― Derrick Austin, 'To Friendship' from Tenderness
"That morning I heard water being poured into a teapot.
The sound was an ordinary, daily, cluffy sound.
But all at once, I knew you loved me.
An unheard-of thing, love audible in water falling."
― Robert Bly, 'The Teapot' from Talking into the Ear of a Donkey
