I’m so scared that I’m not gonna get better. I don’t see a point to getting better. I’m just so apathetic

I feel the same sometimes. But then I step outside and there’s sunlight warming my skin or my mom hugs me tight or my friend FaceTimes me or my dog falls asleep on top of me. And then I’m a little less apathetic. I see the good that’s ahead of me every day.

It is not enough for two people to find each other, it is also very important that they find each other at the right moment and hold deep, quiet festivals in which their desires merge so that they can fight as one against storms. How many people have parted ways because they did not find the time slowly to grow close to each other? Before two people can experience unhappiness together, they have to have been blissful together and possess a sacred memory of that time, which evokes a kindred smile on their lips and a kindred longing in their souls. They become like children who have lived through the festivities of a Christmas night together; when they find a few minutes to catch their breath during the pale, drawn-out days, they will sit down together and tell each other with glowing cheeks about that pin-tree-scented nighttime full of sparkling lights… Such people will weather all storms together.

Rainer Maria Rilke, in a letter to Lou Andreas-Salomé, dated 5 September 1897, from Rilke and Andreas-Salomé: A Love Story in Letters

You give dreams to my night, songs to my morning, aims to my day, and sun-wishes to my red dusk. You give without end. And I kneel and hold my arms up to receive your grace.

Rainer Maria Rilke, from Rilke and Andreas-Salomé: A Love Story in Letters

they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids

honestly it’s actually the small, mundane, boring things that someone does for you out of love which mean so much rather than grand gestures and proclamations
