Hi. Welcome to a mythological + traditional fantasy + fairy tales blog. I’m also interested in Ancient History. Be aware that I post off topics like quotes, photos or music from time to time.
The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you
Agamemnon: Oh, Penelope, you’re such an amazing woman! Prudent, intelligent and wise! I’m like your number one fan?… but, seriously, I wonder… how come you married THAT cunning, clever in evils, idiot? [points at Odysseus]
Odysseus: 🤨
Penelope: oh… 😳
[Odysseus expecting to be praised by his wife]
Penelope: Well… He is certainly a cunning, clever in evils, idiot, but he is MY idiot, you know? ☺️
Self improvement is great but ultimately? you have to accept your self. Yes you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. Some days you won’t have the energy to do any of these things. And you’ll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. That’s a lie. The biggest love for self is to live slowly. To rest. To really rest. Have a nap. Eat what makes you feel good. Read if you want to. Embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not be ever be perfect. Accept that you are good enough. You don’t need to keep busy all the time. you don’t need to go out all the time and post on instagram. You don’t need to journal if you don’t want to. You don’t need to make art if you don’t want to. Breathe, give yourself grace and compassion. Give yourself the love and tenderness you so badly need. Be gentle with yourself. You are trying and it is good enough. You are good enough.
