"If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.”

It’s important to tell people you love them, and what you like about them. It’s important to open up, and share your life with others and who you would like to get to know better. If I could tell friends that I have had in the past, how much I love them I am sure our relationship may have felt more meaningful or worthwhile. People need to know they are important is all I am saying. Forget about focusing on everything that you are insecure about but everything that you appreciate about the other person. Don’t push them away whenever you feel too vulnerable, or that somehow you aren’t going to be acceptable to them, it just doesn’t make sense to them, who probably already like you to spend time with you, and it does not help seeing you back away. Sit with the discomfort and just think, they’re here because they want to be. They may become self conscious and think you don’t like them back and then it backfires. Don’t disappear or fade off. That’s how you make friends. 

I’ve totally forgotten about my tumblr! Logging back on, I can’t believe I don’t know how to navigate things again and needed to use Google as my trusty guide. From what I can see, a lot of things have changed. I don’t identify with some of these quotes anymore, but some of the pictures I’ve reblogged appear to be nice. Who uses tumblr to write down their random thoughts or feelings?
I remember being so afraid to even type anything up in fear of incriminating myself. :P Maybe I’ll try blogging, maybe that might be fun? I’m crazy about plants… I’ve bought many many plants to fill my house and perhaps posting them on here instead of instagram might be better!
