growth is putting your mental and physical health first before others

truly how can you pour from your cup if it’s empty?

you can put on a fake smile with the people around you, but what’s the good in that when you still feel the voids in your heart?

i don’t know everything and i probably never will, but what i do know is that it’s okay to not be okay

learn to choose where the peace in your heart lies, does it come from art? blankets? people? are these peaceful things healthy for you?

you’ll know when it it’s truly healthy if you feel calm with your choices

learn to open your heart up to those you know won’t hurt you

not everyone is out to get you

family is NOT biological, instead the souls you decide to keep around, that will help you grow and vice versa - the humans that truly love and respect you

learn to open up your mind and let out your thoughts and opinions without the fear of being criticized for doing so

and if you’re criticized, instead of defending yourself by attacking them, ask them questions and communicate, dig deep into why their brain chose their answers

dig deep into why your brain chooses your answers

the answer to growth is: acceptance, peace, communication, respect, trust and placing your boundaries

this is not for the sake of others’ growth, but for the sake of your own

growth feels lonely and sad at times, but the feelings will pass

you will grow

you will make progress (and any progress is still progress, it’s a process)
