@QiaochuYuan I have this half-baked theory that we’d all live differently if we could see a bortle one sky regularly. I’ve seen that a handful of times and they’re some of my most vivid and wonder-filled memories. Laced with magic, except it’s the realest thing.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to stop thinking so much and to start doing things. You’re meant to be living within your own life, not existing in the corners of it.

here’s the thing, love. you have to get really good at letting your heart break. because it’s going to break again and again and again. there’s going to be an unknown expectation that shatters it, some goodness that seeps into your life that explodes your heart into pieces,

You know that moment when you’re still lonely but you’re doing all the right things? Meeting people, going places and investing in relationships? You can see the friendships starting to form, but it’s so slow bc that kind of thing takes time? Hold on. You’re going to get there.

I have found the meaning of (my) life and it is to have my heart cracked open again and again, each crack going deeper and wider and somehow making it more beautiful and able to hold more than I ever thought possible.

@CeliaBedelia I think people forget that they were once children who did things or wanted to do things. I had a child cry an entire flight once and everyone around us chose kindness and tried to help, and it couldn’t have been easy (I was struggling too). I was so grateful that day.

my son just walked up to me and jiggled my butt. he said “wow mom, your butt is so chubby! i love it! I wish my butt was chubby like that so it could wiggle like yours!” And this is why I have my work, because past me wouldn’t have been able to receive the love in his words.

darlings, you can do all the ceremonies and retreats and trips you want to do but it’s not healing if your patterns don’t unravel and re-wire, and your life doesn’t change. it wasn’t a breakthrough if you didn’t follow through and move differently in the world.

One day a friend of mine was feeling some guilt and shame about his inability to feel. I looked him in the eye and said, “your problem isn’t that you don’t feel. You feel a lot. Your problem is that you don’t feel the things others are expecting you to feel.”

@Ruesavatar Mmm true unschooling doesn’t mean not learning? The unschoolers I know all went to prestigious schools and ended up with fantastic career. There are definitely unschoolers and homeschoolers who don’t teach—and both that do. (Said by a homeschooler who unschools.)

My husband mentioned a dream of mine that I’ve had for years last night as something he sees possible for our family in the coming years. I’d completely forgotten the dream and given up on it even, but he hadn’t. This is love—holding on to one another’s dreams.

My husband flew to another country to see me after *talking long distance* for two months and we were married less than a year after that. I knew there was investment and intention from the beginning. That’ll be 13 years ago this fall.

One of the common denominators in the great marriages I’ve seen is that they took the relationship seriously right when they first started “dating”. They either came in with that energy or things escalated very rapidly. It didn’t even look like dating. Dating is low velocity.

when i am not ok, it’s rare for me to tell this to someone else. i know why, it’s because i don’t trust someone else to be ok with my not ok. sometimes others are very uncomfortable with someone else’s Not Ok. i am ok with my not ok.
