you won’t ever have to justify your feelings to the people who are committed to being by your side, to loving and respecting you. once you understand that, it becomes easier to navigate relationships without feeling guilty for wanting to have your needs met.

forget "earning" respect. forget "earning" love and affection. if it is not given freely and generously, it is not worth it.

you didn't need to go through all of that bullying and harassment and abuse to become a good person. it wasn't your trauma that made you stronger. it was you.

Daily reminder that you don’t need to be productive every day. Not every day has to be a tiem where you accomplish a million different things. Some days just being able to get out of bed is enough. You don’t need to do soemthing big everyday to live your best life. Look after yourself ❤️

saying “i love you” is so freeing though, like your best friend does a silly dance in the parking lot so you say “i love you” or your partner says something rly dumb but it makes you laugh so you say “i love you” or one of your parents brings you some of the food they cooked so you say “i love you” it’s so freeing and pure and human so maybe we should say “i love you” a little more often

Whenever you get stuck in a spiral of self-hatred, take a step back and ask yourself "what would I say if it was someone I loved who was in my position?" In most cases you'll discover that you wouldn't feel the need to be as harsh on anyone else. That maybe what you did isn't actually inherently unforgivable. That maybe you're being a bit too harsh on yourself.
