ever thought to yourself if you’re happy where you’re at right now?
ever thought about all the harsh criticism given to you by others including your family?
blamed for not doing this and not doing that?
blamed for not being able to make others proud no matter how hard you try?
not wanting to do something that isn’t for you but you’re doing it because you don’t want to let them down?
ever felt like you shouldn’t exist in the world?
ever wonder if you can go another day without having to deal with the same shit all over again?
ever smiled? ever laughed?
ever tried to express your thoughts, struggles, stress, anxiety to others without the water works?
ever been happy in general?
ever had a mental, physical or emotional break down randomly after one long sigh?
ever felt worthless of yourself and to others?
ever lost your way during your path of life?
ever had a hug? if you haven’t or have had a hug, well here’s one for you. i know things aren’t looking good or aren’t going as planned prior to your needs. i know that everyday when you wake up, you think about what you’ll be doing for the rest of this long ass day. i know that when you look at yourself in the mirror, you’re not sure of who you see or what you see. i know that school is stressful and i know that work is stressful as well. i know that you get home and all you want to do is crawl to your bed and call it a day. i know you take the time out of your busy schedule to help your family. i know that you skip your meals and starve yourself while doing homework. i know that you go to bed every night not feeling well. i know you cry yourself to sleep every night because of the stress and burdens piled up on you. and i know that no matter how much you’re unhappy with the current lifestyle you’re in, there’s not much of a difference because in the end, it’s what we do for a living. and because i know what you go through on a daily basis, i want to give you a hug for being the strongest person ever because you deserve it. you really do.
people, do yourself a favor and always congratulate yourself with a hug. congratulate yourself on doing something good like waking up in the morning and getting yourself ready. or making it to class on time and learning something new. or picking up your siblings from school. or getting things you need to get done, done. or when you get your paycheck after working your ass off. or when you help someone else out. or when you make a difference in society. or when you ace a test/quiz you forgot to study for. even if you did study, congratulate yourself. or congratulate yourself on being a good person. but most importantly, congratulate yourself for being you.
