#important reminders
hi!! here is your daily reminder to drink some water and have a snack
just a quick reminder that you are not your parents. their opinions, their actions, their beliefs are not inherently yours and you can choose to have different opinions. please don’t think that just because your parents are one way you have to be the same, you can choose to grow and learn and be more open.
not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry
slow progress is better than no progress
you don’t have to be grateful it’s not worse
going to therapy is nothing to be ashamed of. actively seeking help and working on yourself is so brave and healthy
your mistakes don’t define you
gentle reminders
* you can get through this
* i believe in you
* take a deep breath and keep going
* you are worthy of love and kindness
* you deserve to have your voice heard
* it’s not your job to fix everyone else
* saying no doesn’t make you selfish
growth is a process
it’s going to be hard but hard is not impossible
don’t be ashamed for making your life a little easier
reminders
your best is more than enough
making it this far is an achievement
you’re not a burden
you deserve to be treated with kindness
i am so proud of you
it costs nothing to be kind and polite
✨ always be kinder than you feel ✨
you’ll be okay my darling, everything will work out in the end
you don’t have to be grateful that you don’t have it worse
a reminder
From Me, To You
I am always here to listen
You are never going to be a bother to me
You’re not alone
Putting yourself and your needs first isn’t selfish
I care about you
This planet is better because you’re living on it
Things will get better
if taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down. your main priority should be yourself.
You deserve to be loved and cared for and supported
You are alive.
That in itself is a gift to the world.
YOU are a gift to the world.
Ok the number of times I’ve seen that post “how to study when you’re tired” on my dash is genuinely concerning. Please don’t force yourself to study when you’re tired. Go to sleep. Take a nap. Close your eyes. I assure you that is the one and only correct response. If you’re tired, your body quite literally needs you to listen. I can promise you that following any advice which prioritizes productivity over basic needs like sleep will cause you so much more harm in the long run than it’s worth
Your friends like you. They do not just tolerate you. Please don’t lose contact with someone out of that fear. You are self rejecting. It’s possible to keep friendships going even if you do not see each other everyday (as you do at school or if you work together) it just takes a bit more work, cause it requires more effort in terms of reaching out and planning. But you are worth that effort, and you are worth keeping in contact with, and your friends value you. Your friends like you. Please don’t self reject in friendships just because circumstances change.
