this is not a duet

but why do people call motivational sayings ‘mantras’ why does everyone trivialize religions like hinduism and buddhism by making them tools to improve your lives and getting in touch w ur inner self like what bullshit

I was thinking about this the other day in terms of make up “gurus” and words like “karma” and how it’s constantly thrown around, usually in the wrong context

Arabic proverb (via mrsfscottfitzgerald)

Oscar Wilde (via miafarrows)

I am deserving of love.

I am deserving of life.

I am worthy.

I am beautiful.

I am intelligent.

I am powerful.

I am a survivor.

I am deserving of love.

I am deserving of life.

This is your daily reminder that self-indulgence can be a form of self-care.

That ‘because it makes me feel better’ is a completely valid reason to do something.

That if something makes you happy then it is not pointless or a waste of time.

That if doing something makes you feel better then it is not something that is unproductive to do.

And that doing things that make you feel okay is just as important as anything else.
