#self compassion

give yourself the same compassion you'd give a close friend going through the same thing. you deserve it just as much as they do

you are doing your best in a genuinely complicated world, and that counts. forgive yourself for the rest

no one has their life completely figured out. some people just perform it better. don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides

A few weeks ago I felt like I had nothing. Family member dying, my career wasn't going well, falling out with the boy I loved, fallouts with friends and in those moments you do doubt yourself a lot. Perhaps rightfully so, I really needed it. I mean if you lose everything and still manage to be able to keep going then what can you even be afraid to lose anymore? So what if something goes wrong again, if I lose friends, people, a job. I have me, I have this life to do with whatever the hell I would like to. You find your way back, and no you don't need to just be positive or believe things will be okay it is okay to recognize that things are crap. But things never stay crap forever, and if they do then you simply try something else that's crap. You'll get out of it eventually

give yourself the same compassion you'd give a close friend going through the same thing. you deserve it just as much as they do

your feelings are real even when they don't make logical sense. they don't need to make sense to matter

binge the show guilt-free. rest is a real need, not a luxury, and you don't need anyone's permission for it
