1. Fast walkers, unite!

I hate when someone gets in front of me on the sidewalk because they think they can walk faster than me. They can’t. I am the fastest walker

4. Sorry

them: stop saying ‘sorry’ for everything!

my guilt ridden anxious brain:

Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it

me: sorry

5. Feeling emotions is strong AF

The shame society implants in men about their feelings is rooted in attributing feeling to femininity and it’s ok to admit you have a feminine side, dawg. Speak up about your struggle, it’s how you evolve and it’s how you leave a mark. No shame in the game, bros.

9. Tarot reading of the week

Today’s card. Empathic people often struggle to set boundaries; we can see deeply into why people behave badly, understand that it’s not about us & may feel less hurt by abusive behavior. You can both see deeply into people’s struggles AND be fierce about protecting your energy. pic.twitter.com/4V7VFstzIb

11. Everyone loves a puppy

My husband just walked in, told the dog how cute he is, and how much he loves him. Held his face in his hands, stared into his eyes, and gave him forehead kisses. Then left the room.
I’m sitting right next to the dog.

12. Avoid burn out by…

????

Burn your to-do list. Well, maybe not entirely. But the chances are, you’ve filled it up with things that really don’t matter too much. Small, nitpicking, nagging tasks that you keep putting off, that are starting to weigh you down. You can let those things fall apart.

13. Healthy coping mechanisms

14. You would thrive

women posting their ugly boyfriends on Instagram like “what would I do without this goof” girl you would thrive that’s what you would do

15. The strongest people

Let’s cancel this idea that “strong people” are stoic and unfeeling. The strongest people I know are those who haven’t allowed hardship or trauma to extinguish their sense of whimsy, their capacity for hope and their ability to love.
