Le Beau Mariage (Éric Rohmer, 1982)

i hope the people you meet have the same heart as you. i hope they treat you like they should.

“I forgive people but that doesn’t mean I accept their behavior or trust them again. I forgive them for me, so I can let go and move on with my life.”

When you love, I think it’s better to love with your whole heart than to be safe and reserved. I know it might set you up for getting your heart broken which is no fun, but even if that does happen, at least you know that you gave it your all. If it didn’t work out, it wasn’t your fault because you were brave enough to say, “hey, I love the absolute shit out of you, I hope that’s enough”.

according to jeremiah 29:11, God says that he knows the plans he has for us. he says that he has plans to prosper us and not harm us. so if that relationship isn't working out, it's okay. if that job isn't right for you, it's okay. if that friendship ends, it's okay. because me personally, i’ve never seen God remove something from my life without replacing it with something better.

“… when you’re buying books, you’re optimistically thinking you’re buying the time to read them.”

Discipline comes effortlessly when you operate from a place of love for yourself. You deserve to feel your best & look your best. You deserve to expand your experiences by taking steps outside of your comfort zone. Self love will align you with effortless discipline.

“People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them.”
