its okay if you're melting down, this is a scary time to be a person. stay safe, stay loving, stay alive

sometimes you’ll feel a bit heavy, like something is weighing you down, and even then you’ll have plenty tomorrows before you. they’ll be there when you drift off to sleep and when you wake up days or weeks after, regardless of how much you miss. you’re allowed to just lie down and be something you don’t have the words for, and you’re allowed to close your eyes and take a moment to forget you exist.

you can never please everybody. when you stand up for yourself, there will be people who think you’re overreacting or being a jerk. when you try your best to be kind to everyone you meet, there will be people who think you’re being fake or that you desperately want to be liked. you won’t ever be able to be the best version of yourself if you live for other people, because that ‘best version’ is entirely subjective and therefore impossible to embody. be your personal best, your personal favorite, and you’ll attract people who will see you that way as well.
