I think part of the issue is people assuming that everyone MUST want to move upwards. Like… it’s the next logical step for a person to want to move up the chain: from worker to manager, to district manager, eventually owner.
But I always think of growth like plants.
Aspens grow tall to reach the sun, for sure. But dandelions grow deep, understanding themselves fully so that if some misguided fool tries to uproot them they’d have to try damn hard. And then there’s thyme and other creeping plants, which spread themselves out so much that if you chop a part of it off it roots wherever it can find dirt to root in.
It’s okay not to have lofty dreams. You know what kind of plant you are better than anyone else.

You’re beautiful
When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

specific compliments are so underrated! when someone says “i love your earrings” or “you smell really nice” or “you have such neat handwriting” it means they’re paying attention to your details! i think that’s super beautiful and to me is better than being complimented on appearance!

It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.

women get flak for having so many candles but like. what else is it socially acceptable and legal to light on fire after a long, stressful day
me, as a kid: i can’t wait til i’m an adult so i can stay up late EVERY NIGHT
me, as an adult, crawling into bed at 6:30 pm: oh thank god
The hardest walk is the one you take alone, but it is also the walk that makes you the strongest.
