here’s a secret: you’re not annoying, I promise! even when you talk about your feelings, even when you ramble on about that thing you found that makes you so happy, even when you need space and have to take time for yourself. you are always loved, even when you feel like you’re at your lowest. no one is judging you for thinking about yourself sometimes. you’re not selfish for taking care of yourself.
this isn’t all that there is!!! there are sunsets you haven’t seen, people you haven’t met, things you haven’t learned, food you haven’t tried, and places you haven’t visited. life is so much more than what you’re experiencing right now, and there will always be new things coming. there’s so much more out there for you!!
I want you to know that it’s okay if all you managed to do today was breathe.
It’s okay if you didn’t manage to get out of bed.
It’s okay if you didn’t get that piece of work done.
It’s okay if you couldn’t socialize today.
I’m proud of you. Tomorrow is a chance for a fresh start. Stay strong and be safe.
not eating means no energy and no energy means not being able to play with small doggies bc ur too weak so please look after your bodies ok do it for the doggies who want to play with u
beauty tip: surround yourself with flowers
do you ever just wanna hold someone so so tight and make them feel okay and heal all the pain and hurt in their heart, fill them up with so much love and make sure they never feel sad or broken again
if you were truly a bad person, you wouldn’t be so hung up on the morality of your mistakes. the fact that you want to go back and make it right means you’re growing from this and you’ll try to do better next time.
I live for elegance, mystery and sophisticaton but I also live for rawness, audacious sense of living and passionate unrefinement of feeling
ways to become friends with yourself:
- set boundaries with people. those who respect you, will respect them.
- allow yourself to accept good things. you deserve happiness and warmth and love.
- it’s okay to be a mess. it’s okay to not know what your next step is. it’s okay to be scared. trust that the universe has your back.
- remember that healing is not linear. you are not weak because some days are suddenly harder than others.
- consciously feel the world under your feet as you walk and the warmth of the sun on your cheek.
- do things you enjoy! even if they seem silly. even if you think you have no time. make time for yourself.
- take care of yourself. take deep breaths. take bubble baths. take too long admiring yourself in the mirror.
in case no one has told you today: you’re smart, you’re kind, you’re wonderful. i am so so so proud of you for surviving and living through 100% of your hardest days. it may not seem like a huge deal to you, but do you realize how much you’ve persevered? and despite how hard it’s been, how much your heart still beats and longs for happiness, for joy and hope? there’s still a part of you that knows that a good life, a human, beautiful and raw life is possible. i hope you cling onto that on the bad days and never let that go. you’re doing great, okay? i love you.
yeah
“you may not be academically smart, but you are smart in somany other ways”
It isn’t selfish to put yourself first
i am slowly beginning to believe that there really is life after this, that you can go back to eating without the guilt, without the numbers, without the constant torment, and i am living proof of that.
it’s hard, it’s tough, but you learn, you forgive, you move on.
