Sometimes you have to get all the way out of the hard times to get to the good points in life. I know it's cliche but there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes you notice it straight away and sometimes it just hits you suddenly that you lived through what you went through, you survived.

You're not always going to be liked. Despite whether you did something or not, there are going to be people in your life that you have to interact with that do not like you. One person does not define who you. It can feel devastating having someone you have to spend a lot of time around not like you but you can not change it. It's a hard thing to think about but you have other friends that care about you. One person's judgements and opinion of you does not change the countless other people that care about your thoughts, emotions and opinions. Try not to let them get you down.

Be patient. There is no rush. Sometimes there is no need to do things at a million miles on hour. Take your time doing things you enjoy, savour the moment, enjoy the simple things. There isn't always a need to spend all of your time doing productive things, you can take the time for yourself, reading, writing, listening to music. You have your whole life ahead of you to enjoy it.

Get rid of the things that no longer serve you. Hoarding things that make you sad isn't healthy, you need to move on from those points in your life and having reminders of that around you won't help. Keep the things that make you happy, that remind you of a better time in your life. Make your safe space feel happy and cozy, not full of sadness and regret. Don't be afraid to let things, people, memories go. You'll be happier without them.

Monday 26th October 2020 5:55pm - It’s okay to feel emotions. You’re allowed to feel depressed, happy, sad, confused, anxious etc. Emotions do not make you weak they make you human. If you don’t let the emotions out you’ll bottle them up and they’ll explode in a way that’s not good. So laugh, cry, smile, your feelings are valid and anybody who says they aren’t ain’t good enough to be by your side. But feelings can't be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem.
