“Will you come with me to the mountains? It will hurt at first, until your feet are hardened. Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?”

— C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce (via bluecollarclassicist)

how you program your mind when you’re at a low point is so impactful. resorting back to toxic patterns when you’re low is only strengthening those neural pathways and programming your mind to make those unhealthy choices or think those unhealthy thoughts every time you’re not feeling well. alternatively, trying your hardest to cope in a healthier way every time you’re feeling bad will strengthen those positive neural pathways, and as time goes on, it will become easier to make healthy choices and say no to toxic patterns. this of course isn’t to say that you should feel guilty if you relapse, it is not by any means easy to reprogram your brain and sometimes we relapse and that’s okay, so long as we’re trying our best to treat ourselves better.

the world can be so beautiful. somewhere, a baby was a born. someone got their first kiss. someone beat cancer. someone got married. someone adopted a lonely cat. someone is loving themself. someone got approved for life-saving surgery. flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, the moon is out there. if you can’t find anything beautiful, make it.

Beautiful doesn’t mean sexy. It doesn’t mean sensually attractive. Beautiful doesn’t mean hot. Beautiful means you look absolutely lovely in the most unlovely of situations or circumstances. So when you tell someone they are beautiful, you’re telling them how much their life matters.

i honestly believe human beings are not meant to live like this. we are meant to live in loving communities and be around nature every day and grow our own food and create art and not work day and night until we die. this longing for another life is not human nature, it’s a symptom of modern society.
