- Mental health comes first

- “Friends” = quality/quantity. Keep good people around and hold on tight. It’s not ok to keep nurturing relationships that don’t make you happy/a better person

- It’s ok to stand up for yourself. Even if it makes you uncomfortable 

- True love isn’t within the 25 mile radius of your stupid fucking dating apps

- It’s ok to feel like you’re not where you’d like to be. Does anyone ever fully get to that place anyway?

- Drugs aren’t that fun

- Comparing yourself and your journey to other peoples is extremely toxic and will get you nowhere

- Learning how to enjoy your own company is so powerful

- A little bit of delusion can be good when it comes to creativity 

- Red wine is actually lit

- Sex can very well be a form of self-harm 

- It’s not a bad thing to evolve and change faster or in different ways than people in your circle/tribe 

- Self sabotage, though sometimes therapeutic, is always a dead end road

- Your feelings are valid simply because you felt them

- Meditation is actually lit 

Loneliness

1. Loneliness is a painful, negative state.

2. It is where we feel alone, and cut off and estranged from other people. Thus, we may feel as if we are excluded, unwanted, unimportant or unnoticed.

3. We can be surrounded by people we know and love and still experience feelings of intense loneliness.

4. Loneliness feels like punishment or rejection. It is rooted in a sense of deficiency or inadequacy.

5. It is something that depletes us, and is imposed on us.

6. Loneliness can lead to self rejection, and even to self loathing and despair.

Solitude

1. Solitude is a positive state.

2. It is where we are perfectly happy to be by ourselves, and relish and enjoy our own company.

3. Solitude can help us get in touch with, or engage with, our true self. It allows us to reflect on ourselves, others, our life, and our future.

4. Often, solitude is a springboard to greater self-awareness, greater creativity, fresh insights, and new growth.

5. Solitude is something we choose. It is something that restores and builds us up.
