#self compassion

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

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

Being ordinary is so okay. Kinda who cares? If I like my life but it is ordinary then good, I like it. If my music taste is ordinary that's okay, if my opinion is ordinary that is okay, if my job is ordinary that is okay, if my hobby's are ordinary that's okay, if my looks are ordinary that is okay. You don't need to fight to be more special than you already are because if it's special to you, then it's special to you. You don't live to be less ordinary to anyone else
