“I want you inside the mouth of my heart.”

— Sandra Cisneros, from Dulzara

literally everybody who has ever been kind to me has made me kinder in return

gentle reminder

the sadness or hopelessness you are feeling right now is only temporary, please try your best to stick around until it passes

[aubzbby]

You cannot make someone understand a message they are not ready to receive.

[aubzbby]

please appreciate the people that show that they care for you and your well being. don’t push them away.

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

this took me far too long to learn, so I’m going to tell you something that you need to internalise.

you don’t have to tell people anything you don’t want to tell them. it’s not rude or disrespectful to be private about things. you don’t owe anyone that information, so how could it be wrong to withhold it?

queer but don’t want to come out? don’t!

have a trauma disorder but don’t want to tell people what your trauma was? don’t!

disabled but don’t want to talk about it? that’s right, simply do not!

practice telling people to go away when they ask invasive questions.

the responses I’ve been using in particular are “that’s between me and my therapist/doctor”, and “why does it matter to you?”

you don’t need a “reason” to want to keep things to yourself. you don’t need to tell someone your entire history so that they can label you as “valid”.

don’t tell people information you don’t want to share.

please never stop talking passionately about the things you love
