Good Morning, Tumblrs. 🌞☕

“When you are your own best friend, you don’t endlessly seek out relationships, friendships, and validation from the wrong sources because you realize that the only approval and validation you need is your own.”

— Mandy Hale

Wishing everyone a year full of glad tidings, love, hope, friends and family in 2025.

**************

Don't leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something...

When you had the chance.

Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before us, never to return in quite the same way again.

Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon the soul with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words.

So, let us not leave anything for later. Let us seize the moments as they come, with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the possibilities that lie before us. For in the end, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we left undone, the words left unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold

(2015)

I think that this fear of discovering her partner has homosexual urges, that she might lose him to those urges, or worse, another man, prevents many women from exploring and/or letting their man explore.

My wife already knew; I told her. At first she was going to let me explore, but then rescinded that option because she was afraid I'd be lured away. Can't say she didn't have a valid concern.
