lately i have been thinking about how the love i receive will never run as deep as the one i give out and the thought of it sends me spiraling but perhaps that's how it's supposed to be

not only when you have a deep conversation or they do something great for you, remember that our reception of love is equal to our familiarity with giving it to others. unlearning the process of commodifying love has been so difficult but so freeing, realizing i can care for people openly for simply being in my lives without having to feel like they must do something to earn it is so so wonderful, highly recommend

Sometimes I get caught up chasing ideals of love. Growing up with immigrant parents in the US, I wished my parents showed me love the way my friends' parents did. My parents seemed cold in comparison to the affection I saw my friends receiving. I fell for best friends who did love me but never enough and never in the ways I wanted them to.
Nowadays I have grown to appreciate the ways in which my parents do show me love -- when they ask if I've eaten or when I dye my mom's hair as she peels me oranges. Friendship to me no longer needs to be tied up in such rigid binaries. It's not the label of a relationship I'm after but rather just the intimacy of knowing other people. I try not to focus so much on how I wish to be loved by other people and instead pay attention to all the different ways I am loved. Acting with a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. And in that way, everything feels enough.
Disclaimer: Establishing boundaries is paramount. Love that is corrosive or manipulative is not love.

back to letting the love i have received and have given myself extend on for eternity within me because as humans we are capable of tending it like a garden with kindness and compassion and gratitude even through things like loss and change and heartbreak

On a friend. On a coworker. On a stranger. Watch from afar and daydream or engage and find out and get your heart broken. People are beautiful... and no matter your feelings, it will pass!!!

stop going to Starbucks or McDonald's! delete X/Twitter and start posting on here or on Bluesky instead! stop legally streaming HYBE or SM Entertainment or any K-POP companies that refuse to see their artists as humans worthy of rights in the workplace! switch from Spotify to Apple Music or any other service that pay their artists more! we have so much power why do we forget
