this is a safe place

if you are reading this right now, you have survived your entire life up until this point. you have survived traumas, heartbreak, devastation, the different phases of life. and here you are, you are awesome.

Never speak twice on how you feel about certain shit because they heard you the first time.

oh fuck *remembers that i don't have to apologise or feel guilty about having "cringe" interests and real friends don't get mad at me for taking up space

If you’re reading this post, consider this a sign that you should be more proud of yourself for all you’ve accomplished. Take time to be proud of all the victories, even the “little” ones.

i love constantly evolving into a cooler version of myself

btw by cooler i don’t mean like. trendier or more conventionally attractive but a version of myself that feels more like an honest representation of myself and all the layers of myself that are shifting as i grow and learn more about myself and the world …. (which makes me hotter.)

Making mistakes doesn’t mean you deserve abuse. Ever.

If someone ghosts you, respect their decision and never bother them again. If someone gives you the silent treatment, enjoy your quiet time. Normalize not taking things personally, let people be themselves without trying to change or control them

You aren’t broken or wrong if you miss someone who hurt you. It’s okay to miss someone and not want them in your life anymore. Feelings are complicated.

[Maybe you’re not yet where you want to be but you’re already so far from where you used to be]]

It’s okay to fall apart after you thought you’d moved on. It’s okay to hit a bad patch after doing so well for awhile. Healing isn’t linear and these things don’t erase your progress or accomplishments you’ve made on your journey.

repeating to myself over and over again that better days will come, it might not be now, but we deserve them. they will find us.
