Be open to the possibility that life may surprise you in beautiful ways you haven’t even imagined yet.

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

other people’s inability to love you does not reflect how lovable you are. it says something about their emotional availability, not your value.
