if you’re struggling lately, i hope this reaches you.

we will be okay. you will be okay. you will grow and evolve and heal. you will enjoy life again even if it’s not the same as it was the last time you were happy. you will live your life not feeling stuck. you will do more than survive. you will thrive.

Frida Kahlo, from a letter wr. c. January 1925, featured in The Letters of Frida Kahlo: Cartas Apasionadas

i love being a preschool teacher because yesterday i was teaching my class how life is not a race and how we can move slowly with intention. another child asked me, “what is life about, then?” and i responded “life is about having fun and being happy!” and they all giggled and agreed. the same child said “life is about riding bikes outside!” what a sweet moment

Jihyun Yun, from Some Are Always Hungry; “Reversal”

[Text ID: “I so want to survive this. Please lead me whole into another season so I may dare begin again.”]

Magnolias are so ancient plants that almost every other plant and insect who came to being around the same time as them has gone extinct by now. They are the loneliest plants in this world. Does anybody understand how much grief it gives me that the symbolic flower of Kuras is magnolia.

Kinda been into podcast lately. Keeping it together.

J. L. Carr, from A Month in the Country

You cannot take it all. Offer. Sacrifice does not kill, but preserve, make it holy. Until wings turn into a cross. However noble, if we do things on our own, we are the enemies of grace. Odysseus was noble. Nevertheless Dante put him in hell, precisely for that reason. Hell is based on justice. Heaven is grace. Nobody deserves it.
