The Sun Is Snowing: The Scrapbook | C Joybell C

"The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore." —C. JoyBell

I've spent a lot of the last year discovering myself. Sometimes in this 'full speed' life we forget ourselves. Our peace. A moment to ourselves. Mostly we focus on others (children, partners, parents...). Sometimes we need to put ourselves first. Even if it's just for 5 minutes.⬇️

maich While searching for literature and reading about myself, about personal care and similar topics, I found this quote and wanted to share it with you. Because we are the ones who will allow ourselves to have ups and downs. Have a happy and blessed day! 1mo

The Book of (More) Delights: Essays | Ross Gay

pick

While these further delights did not move me quite as much as Gay's first collection, I am still so enamored of them. As the author settles further into this project (the daily chronicling of a delight in his life), the delights seem to come not in spite of or even in tandem with disappointments but it is almost as though they are in communication with each other (a dance, if I want to be poetic). As with all things, light and shadow.
