Sometimes when I can't show up for my friends I feel bad and sad and this just made my heart lighter.

Some days I too need to tend to my soul 💕

Oh my God thisss🥹

I recently got called out for my occasional spells of disappearing. It's not like I don't care, I just need time to be me again. I don't understand why people cannot grant that. They want you to be constant, never-changing, always there. But I cannot. I am the wind. Here and not...

"And I will be gone, when I need to be gone to look after my soul."

Thank you for validating the fact that it's okay to seek solitude to find yourself. Relieving you of the pressure of always being there. 🫂

Omg. This. I was thinking to myself just today how I sometimes need to be selfish with me. I cannot constantly be there for all the people that want me to be.

I want to but I can't.
