thoughts at twilight
after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain
self awareness
“Looking back, that’s when I began to think about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes. I stopped looking up at the night sky. I tried to jam myself into molds other people made. I began to shut out my own voice. No one called my name and neither did I. My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut. So, like this, I, we, all lost our names. We became like ghosts.
I had one sanctuary, and that was music. There was a small voice in me that said, “Wake up, man, and listen to yourself!” But it took me a long time to hear music calling my name.
self acceptance
Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. Today I am who I am with all of my faults and my mistakes. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser and that will be me too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making the brightest stars in the constellation of my life.
self love
I have come to love myself for who I am, for who I was and for who I hope to become. So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I urge you to ‘speak yourself’.
Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself.”
-Kim Namjoon
Perhaps the reason this night looks so beautiful
Is not because of these stars or lights, but us
– mikrokosmos –
~ self love and acceptance isn’t something you can force yourself into. it takes time and patience to finally be able to reach a state of inner peace.
~ it’s okay to feel down sometimes. nobody is able to always be happy. so, let those tears go and things will be alright once the time has come.
