“Do not touch those who would turn your tenderness into weakness.”
— Emma Bleker
“With such a hell in your heart and your head, how can you live? How can you love?”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky (via purplebuddhaquotes)
Imagine what it is like for a lover to hold your hand; put yourself in their shoes.
Imagine how your parents and grandparents felt the first time they looked at your face.
Imagine how your animal companions feel when they see you have arrived home.
Imagine how you feel when you see your closest friends, but through their eyes when they see you!
We can all provide happiness to someone else with our companionship and presence, why do you not also delight in your own company?
You are the only one who can truly make yourself happy and at peace, no other can do this for you. When you can only rely on your own nature, why not take some time in your own company to get to know it?
You never know if any of your friends are struggling and won’t reach out. Please check on them!
