or your inner prompting, or whatever you prefer to call it
I was getting emotional last night past midnight thinking of a college friend I hadn’t heard from in a while (we talk briefly a few times a year), so I sent her a Marco Polo telling her how much I miss her and admire her and how proud I am of the work she’s been doing and that I just love her so much and wanted her to know
She messaged me back in tears because she’d had some really heavy blows to her self-esteem lately and hearing a friend tell her out of the blue all the reasons she was awesome was exactly what she needed
I know variations of this sentiment go around often here but it bears repeating!! Tell people you love them and why! 💌

“hey, you’re doing so good”
“I love you, I’m proud of you”
I think it sends a life line sometimes and I try to do it as often as I remember.

I often feel some insecurity and embarrassment at telling people I love them for the very first time (esp if we havent been friends for long) but like!!! I have so much love to give!! And my loved ones deserve to know I love and care about them!!
(i did a mountain collage and put the words "I love you" in Dutch on it, then sent the card to a friend. Also added some love letters bc they are going through a tough time and I need them to understand that they mean the world to me)

bc it’s what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol
Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but I’m just happy to have made it through this part at 32!
Stacked is everything I read in my English courses—barely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
