You are not forever broken. You are not damaged goods. You are not your trauma. Your trauma doesn’t define you. It just shows how strong of a person you are to have made it through all of it.

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made of layers, cells, constellations.”
— Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 4: 1944-1947 (via hellanne)

✨ How to live like a fairy ✨
~Keep your hair natural and wild. During the summer months, you can make wild flower crowns or adorn your hair with flower petals and daisies.
~Shop for airy, gossamer dresses that you can wear whilst dancing in the forest or while shopping at a flower market. Use a velvet pouch as a purse and keep a few good-luck crystals inside.
~ Makeup essentials include pink plump lips and full rosy cheeks. Use a shimmer powder and glittery eyeshadow to complete your fairy-esque look. Invest in a sparkly body powder to sprinkle over yourself and make it look as if you are a cloud of fairy dust!
~ Go outside and explore the woods barefoot. Bring your favorite book along to read in the meadow or while nestled in a willow tree. Pack a wicker picnic basket and find a peaceful spot to eat your breakfast/lunch.
~ Plant a garden filled with honeysuckles, strawberries, sunflowers, and rosemary. Go berry picking in the summer and go apple picking in the fall. You can use the fruits to make pastries, preserves, or to eat plain!
~Decorate your room with fairy lights, tea candles, floral garland, and succulents. Keep your windows open on sunny days and use an essential oil diffuser to perfume your room with the aroma of lavender. Hang a tulle bed canopy above your bed to add to the whimsical aesthetic.
~Indulge in afternoon tea once a week. Set the table with a clean linen cloth and bake fresh chocolate scones and cucumber sandwiches to nibble on. Make sure to have a floral centerpiece and plenty of teas to choose from!
~Wear silver lockets and delicate charm bracelets. Shop frequently at antique and vintage shops to find other unique jewelry pieces. Arm cuffs and toe rings are also staple accessories.
