"On Earth lately, I've been looking at everyone // like I love them, & maybe I do. Or maybe I only love one person, & I'm beaming from it. Or actually // I just love myself, & I want people to know."

Digital art of an orange fox standing in the snow looking upwards. The quote in the corners of the image reads: "i see the sun, and if i don't see the sun, i know it's there. // and there's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there."

"They may not have loved you, but they did change you. They taught you. They grew you."

"What goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives. // -Tales From Earthsea: Dragonfly, by Ursula Le Guin"

"anonymous 7 hours ago // as i write this, the birds are singing, the trees are blooming, and the cat is sleeping. the past year has taken so much away, but it's only lately become clear that it's left only the bare necessities. i am safe and warm and falling in love with my own life. i am slowly contending with the parts of me that i can't change, and revelling in those parts of me."

Screencaps from "Honey Boy." The first scene shows n older man sits on the sand with a younger boy between his legs with his back against the man's chest. The man has longer hair and a pair of glasses. He wears a striped, blue shirt. The caption reads: "You know, a seed has to totally destroy itself to become a flower." The second scene shows the young boy leaning back against the man's chest. He has curly brown hair and wears a red and yellow cover on top of a plaid, blue shirt. The caption reads: "That's a violent act, honey boy."

Screenshot of a tumblr post by @wuntrum posted on November 29, 2022. It reads: "pioneering something called 'gritted teeth optimism' where everything is gonna turn out okay even if i have to bite and claw and gnash my way through it"

most of all i hope you all find a reason to wake up and love each day despite it all. i hope you hear the birds singing or you buy a new candle or use a new fabric softener and it inspires you to keep going. each day holds so many possibilities. live to see the different outcomes. i believe in you and I’m proud of you for existing despite it all. you were made to experience life, so let life’s experiences be the reason you continue on.
