Sometimes you just have to say to yourself, I’m going to let myself be happy today, I’m going to have a good day and not feel guilty or worried or undeserving of it. And I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but that’s okay and that’s okay and that’s okay because I’ll deal with it when it happens and that’ll be okay too.
The concept of teaching people how to treat you is so wild to me - especially people who love you. I always believed that in love people would treat you right without having to be taught but I guess the nuances to what “right” means have to be communicated too
Robert Walser, from Fairy Tales; "Cinderella" (trans. from the German by Daniele Pantano and James Reidel)
[Text ID: Prince: Is there not a cause for my grief?
Fool: You are its cause, the soil from which / it gaily blooms. You are the scales / on which it weighs itself, the bed / on which it lies stretched out. There is / no other reason save yourself.]
