Did you know that the moon was once a planet named Theia? Theia and Earth collided, and from that cosmic collision, the moon was ripped from the debris like a heart plucked from the chest of two unified beings. Without the moon, Earth as we know it would not survive. It is eternally destined to watch over us, like a long-lost lover who gave up their life so we could live. Perhaps that’s why its face is so sad—isn’t it beautiful how our very existence is poetry?

No one is more foolish than someone who thinks they have all the answers

Please be kind. Not just to others but to yourself.

When life feels like it’s going to fast try meditating. Suddenly everything slows down and it’s just you and this never ending moment.

Happiness is right now; you are everywhere, yet you are here. Notice the wind on your skin and the clouds in the sky racing by, never to look the same again as they do at this moment, right now. How beautiful the world has made itself just for you right now. Smile because, right now, it is great just to be alive.

I have been locked within a cage of suffering, but all along, I’ve had the key. – the power of the mind

She lights up the world for others but forgets about herself

And I think maybe the secret to success and happiness is believing you have everything you ever wanted right now.

Isn’t it funny how kisses that mean everything once time can turn into nothings?

Magic happens for those who believe.

Things I want to remember going into #2024. Without failure, you wouldn’t have knowledge. You’ll have bad moments, but oh, how precious those good moments are. Working hard is important, but living is important too. Remember to live. Try to enjoy moments while you’re in them rather than only in hindsight. Be patient with your dreams. Be yourself. Don’t waste your time worrying if others are judging you; they’re not; they’re thinking about themselves...

Unpopular opinion: You do not need more stuff. Belongings don’t create happiness.

And I think our souls knew each other from an existence before this one. That’s why when we met it felt like I’d known you forever

And I’ve realised life is all about moments, I thought it was meaning but meaning fades, I thought it was love, but isn’t love just a moment? A moment which sometimes we hold onto too long. When I die I want to say I felt the tender caress of wind against my body, the sun warming my forearms, the beauty that was always surrounding me, the heat of my lovers kiss when, only for a moment, they thought I could be the one to give them life.

When you meet someone, and fall in love, it feels like you’ve known them forever. Wouldn’t it be romantic if this was because your souls had been connected in a past life, and the feeling that we describe as “love” is when they cross paths again in a new life…
