Never, never must we fail to seek meaning in the unending content of each day. It exists, it is what we are given; we must treasure its givenness, even though it contains only little things, petty things.

Olga Freidenberg, from an unsent letter to Boris Pasternak c. 1927

eearth:

You were born from the earth. You must water yourself with love and compassion, feed your soil with learning, pick out the weeds of doubt and fear, allow yourself the sunlight of quiet contemplation.  You can’t just sit and wait for flowers to grow; tend to yourself, and watch how quickly you flourish.

i understand that my friends don’t wanna talk every day. i understand that my s/o doesn’t wanna be lovey dovey and super indulgent every day. lots of people need rest from performative emotions. all people need rest in general! it’s okay!! it doesn’t mean they don’t love me!! it’s not a judgement or punishment!! they deserve to take their rest, and they deserve for me to treat their needs with respect!
