Does Anyone Have The Post Thats A Leonard Cohen Quote Talking About Being Empty

the worst part of "you'll understand when you're older" is that you really do understand when you're older

24 things i learned in 2024:

Take myself out for coffee dates, no excuses needed.

Call out passive-aggressive behavior instead of brushing it off.

Wear the outfit that makes me feel powerful, even on random Tuesdays.

Find joy in deleting unnecessary messages and chats.

Learn to say “that’s not my responsibility” without feeling guilty.

Let my phone die sometimes—it’s okay not to be reachable.

Laugh out loud when something is actually funny, no holding back.

Create a playlist of songs that remind me who I am.

Spend a whole afternoon doing absolutely nothing, and love it.

Take compliments without adding “but.”

Tell someone when they inspire me, even if it feels awkward.

Choose solitude over shallow conversations.

Quit explaining why I need space—it’s just a need, not a negotiation.

Take the scenic route, even if it takes longer.

Start a quirky tradition just for myself (midnight pancakes? yes).

Smile at my reflection every time I catch it, even if it feels silly.

Trust the timing of my journey—everything will unfold exactly when it’s meant to.

Celebrate the smallest progress, because it all counts.

Keep my heart gentle, even when the world feels sharp.

Show kindness, but not at the cost of my own peace.

Say “no” and let it be a complete sentence.

Forgive—not to forget, but to free myself from carrying the weight.

Rest because I deserve it, not just because I’m burnt out.

Start over as many times as I need—there’s no shame in beginning again.

It’s okay if you’re not alright now. Things will be okay soon, and I hope this little reminder helps. ♡

idk who needs to hear this today, but don't go lurking on ex friends and partners. nothing you see or read will make you feel better there. all you're doing is hurting your own feelings. leave them in the past and do your best to move on with your own life, to make what you have now happier rather than dwelling on things that used to be (:

I love using "by the way" as a segue into topics that are completely unrelated to the matters at hand. it isn't remotely by the way, quite a ways out of the way in fact. a little adventure
