Tidbits of My Life

because it’s not always other people. sometimes it’s us.

realize you’ve made a mistake. acknowledge it, but do not let it consume you. think to yourself, this is in the past now and i can move onto better, bigger & brighter things.

apologize if needed. do not guilt trip people into forgiving you. simply acknowledge your mistake and ask them what you could do to repair it. if they do not accept your apology or do not believe you, move on. hold yourself accountable but to not turn yourself into a martyr. 

think of what you can improve. can you be more compassionate? perhaps more forgiving? or more honest? what can you do to make sure you learn from this?

do not dwell in guilt. guilt is useful, but too much of it will leave you blinded. let yourself feel every feeling knowing it is temporary.

remember you are human. each and every single one of us has fucked up. you’re not alone in this. all of us have things we are not proud of, things we are ashamed to say out loud, things we’ve done that we would rather forget.

it’s not a circle, it’s a spiral staircase.

In a world often feeling obsessed with being a mature, productive and overall stoic adult in society, the idea of an inner child is seen as really strange or even silly. But in the process of recovery or even just in the throngs of daily life listening and nurturing the vulnerable, sensitive, and eternally hopeful part of ourselves is sup important. Although I utilize the majority of this to heal from bullying and abuse, this is a worthwhile pursuit for anyone at any point in their respective journey. I hope they help others as well.

I am doing very well

My best is enough and I am proud of myself

I appreciate myself

I’m glad I am who I am

My interests are valid

I am allowed to be excited

I am allowed to be scared

I am allowed to cry

I am glad I was born

I deserve to be loved

I deserve to be safe

I deserve comfort

I believe in myself

My sensativity is not a weakness

My ability to hope is not naive or silly

My innocence and joy are beautiful and strong

My enthusiasm is passionate and strong

I deserve to be accepted

I deserve to be loved

“WHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.”
