The goal is not to meet neruotypical life milestones and ideas of independence. The goal is to have a life where you are happy and have the support you need.

🔊 SAY IT LOUDER 🔊

Hot take but actively trying to be a good person,,,, makes you a fundamentally good person

If you're mentally ill, a lot of your thoughts and feelings will be completely irrational bullshit no matter how true they feel. So make a habit of questioning your brains conclusions and don't uncritically accept everything you think or feel. Cause if your brain is sick, then a big part of it WILL be bullshit and it's important to be aware of that and act on it.

switch your mentality from “i’m broken and helpless” to “i’m growing and healing” and watch how fast your life changes, for the better.

Now is a great time to look forward to the next year intentionally. Write down your goals in detail. Make a vision board. What do you want 2020 to bring to you? Believe that good things are possible. 

you know when someone you don’t know very well compliments your personality, and your first instinct is to brush it off and tell yourself “but they don’t really know me”? let go of that thinking. when someone you don’t know compliments you it’s because that part of you stands out to them !! whether its your kindness, your sense of humour, your intelligence, don’t brush off these compliments — they aren’t less true!
