765 ㅡ Your heart is made of gold and glass.

Remember what you are made of the next time you think you are bulletproof. You are white bone and silken flesh; your heart is made of gold and glass. Stop trying to make yourself indestructible—like any soft creature it is in your nature to break, like any soft creature it is in your nature to heal.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

764 ㅡ You are never really going to figure it out.

Here's what they don't tell you—you are never really going to figure it out. You are never going to figure out the world, or why the things that happened to you happened, or how to ensure that your future is faultless. You are never going to figure out how to perfect your existence, because it was never meant to be perfected. Instead, you will figure out how to move forward, day by day. You will figure out what kind of breakfast you like in the morning and what kind of people you want by your side. You will figure out the places that make your soul feel at home, and sometimes those places will be human beings. You will figure out what ignites your passion, the things that you could see yourself doing every single day for ten, or twenty, or thirty years. You will figure out how to say no and how to stand up for yourself. You will figure out how to forgive and let go. You will figure out exactly how you like to take your coffee. You will figure out how to walk away, how to heal. You will figure out how to live with yourself, how to be your own companion. You will figure out how to be kind to even the most broken parts of yourself. See, you will figure out how to embrace life. How to truly accept it as it comes.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

763 ㅡ I want to be proud of the way I loved

At the end of the day, I want to be proud of the way I loved, I want to be proud of the way I placed my heart into the hands of others. I want to be proud of the way I chose vulnerability, of the way I chose tenderness; how I never stopped choosing it no matter what my soul experienced at the hands of being the kind of human being who loved deeply in this world.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

762 ㅡ About finding a happiness that works for you.

Growth isn't this comfortable, miraculous thing. It can get ugly, it can get confusing. It's gritty, it's hard. It's difficult to confront yourself sometimes; it's difficult to be the person who does things differently, who doesn't settle. But it's the greatest gift you will ever give yourself. It will push you towards figuring out what your own personal version of happiness looks like; and when you grow on your own terms, when you figure out what actually matters to you, and when you carve out your own path, you live on your own terms. You love on your own terms. You become the person you have always wanted to be, rather than the person you were always told to be, and that is beautiful. Because when it comes down to it—life is about making yourself proud on your own terms. It's about finding a happiness that works for you.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

761 ㅡ Where is the paradise that surges beyond love?

I will meet you with the holes of the sky, the untouched tunnels where dreamers stamp out the supernovas. I will meet you within the intensity of the sea, between the waves and the horizon—that small sliver of earth where feeling is preserved like a mounted butterfly in a glass case. Where is the paradise that surges beyond love? I will meet you there.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

760 ㅡ Someone who will take care of your soul.

Fall in love with someone who will take care of you. Fall in love with someone who will take care of your soul. Fall in love with someone who will take care of your mind, someone who will take care of your heart. Fall in love with someone who will take care of even the most chaotic parts of who you are.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

759 ㅡ To find your way back into your soul.

Maybe this is the season you are being challenged to make amends with your heart, to stand up for the vast ways in which it loves, and cares, and believes in the goodness of vulnerability, and expression, and being the person who softens even when the world is not gentle. Maybe right now you are getting a second chance—to trust in it, and to forgive yourself for giving it away to those who could not value it; but most importantly, maybe right now you are being called to protect it, to find your way back into your tenderness, to find your way back into your soul.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

758 ㅡ Sometimes, courage is a quiet fight.

Sometimes courage is a quiet fight, a dim softness within you, that flickers even on your darkest days and reminds you that you are strong, that you are growing—that there is hope.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

757 ㅡ The courage to do things differently.

I hope you have the courage to do things differently, to be the kind of person who takes the risk, to be the kind of person who leads with their heart and shows up in their life with a ruthless dedication to learning and growing and enjoying the hell out of their moments here.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

756 ㅡ Love cannot be manufactured or destroyed.

The beautiful thing about love is that it cannot be manufactured or destroyed. It is carnal, it is raw; it cannot be discovered where it does not exist, it cannot be concealed where it thrives. Use this to your advantage. If you do not feel it where you lay, I hope you have the strength to walk away, but if you do, I hope you have the strength to fight.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

755 ㅡ You will always be good enough for them.

Don't ever forget that the right people will choose you, they will see you, they will dive into the depth of you, and you will never have to force those connections. You will always be good enough for them. Anything else is not for you.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

754 ㅡ Words, too simple to express our deep emotions.

Introverts have very small social circles, and it takes a lot for us to let people in. We may not always talk about our feelings, because words are too simple to express our deep emotions, but if we have made you a part of our life, know that we care for you.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

753 ㅡ You're investing in a life that works for you.

I promise that when you start to invest in both your mind and your body, you are also investing in your happiness, your empowerment, and your confidence, because you are investing in a life that works for you, and that gives back to you.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

752 ㅡ You don't owe anyone an apology.

The people in your life who truly matter will never admonish you for changing. Instead, they will build you up; they will inspire and motivate you. They will understand that you are striving to be more for yourself, and they will admire you for that; because at the end of the day, change is something you should never be ashamed of. You don't owe anyone an apology for changing. You don't owe anyone an apology for being different than you were a year ago, for wanting new things.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

751 ㅡ Let love and opportunity move through you.

I hope you have the courage to let love and opportunity move through you like rain. To not grip, or seek to change it, to not ask people or circumstances to be more than they can be for you.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

750 ㅡ Do you understand what you are made of?

Do you understand what you are made of? The very stars combust in the night sky with the same atoms that make up your mind. Can you feel that?

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.

749 ㅡ Lose yourself in books, in art.

Lose yourself in books, in art, in the haze of new horizons. Lose yourself in curiosity, in knowledge, in passion. Lose yourself in feeling it all; lose yourself in the world, in the stories and the lessons it has to teach you, but never lose yourself in love; never lose yourself in another person. You are your own home—please don't ever forget that.

Sincerely yours,

Senjakala.
