you are loved

many of us still are in the process of learning to stop associating positivity with happiness and peace with control. you can have a positive mindset and be a positive person and still experience negative emotions like sadness or frustration, and you can be at peace without knowing exactly what happens next in your life. you are not failing because you cry sometimes or because you tend to get angry, and you are not inable to be at peace because you don’t know what happens next. live in the moment and do what you can and feel what you feel, that’s all you have to do.

stop defining yourself by what you lack. you are not the absence of qualities, you’re the presence of them.

if you’re at a point right now where you don’t see any hope in the future, remember that the future will always seem overwhelming when you’re thinking about it all at once. you only have to live through one moment at a time. focus on now and focus on getting through this, because you will.

you aren’t a burden for having bad days. you aren’t a failure for having bad days. you aren’t a a bad person for having bad days.

sometimes there’s a big hole in your soul and that’s just the way it is and you have to fill it up with songs you love and people who make you feel better and towels in your favorite color and socks that feel just right on your feet and even then sometimes part of you will leak out and other times it’ll all gush at once and you’ll feel like you’re fighting a losing battle but the fact is every time you flood you just pick up the pieces of all the little good things around you and start laying the bricks over again and yeah it’s too bad there’s got to be a hole in the first place but that’s life sometimes you babble and ebb and flow and burst but your soul is part of what keeps the world alive and it’s really just amazing you’re here so don’t worry that the sadness never fully goes away I’m just really glad we exist. the world is full of everyone and I’m happy that includes us.

I’m committed to understand myself. I’m committed to creating better relationships. I’m committed to being a better and healthier me. I’m committed to learning.

to all my american followers: please remember it’s okay to take a break. you don’t have to follow it live minute after minute. take a break, drink some water. i’m very stressed and i’m not even from the us, i can’t imagine how stressful it must be for you guys.

gentle reminder: you deserve to live again. stop self-sabotaging and isolating yourself even more. you’ve already gone through enough. you have permission to be kind to yourself and start again as a new person. you deserve love and everything else you think you don’t deserve. don’t hurt yourself any more.
