buy a cactus, learn to care again. drink a cup of coffee under the moon, with a friend or with a lover or by yourself. it's okay to do things by yourself, it's okay to be your own lover. take a train ride somewhere far, put away your cellphone, look around you, observe. strangers can be beautiful. the trees and blur of times passing from outside your window are beautiful. exist. let yourself think, let yourself feel. stop asking for permission. simply be.
