Theoretically Epic

you don’t deserve to be treated poorly because of someone else’s inner turmoil. what goes on in their life is for them to hold, not for you. i want to let you know that it’s not your fault, okay? it’s never your fault. you don’t deserve to be disrespected just because someone else’s life is met with hardships they have to heal through. it’s not for you to carry. you are meant to be met with love, kindness, healing, and understanding. you know why? because that’s what you are worthy of.

Replace “what if I regret this?” with “what if this sets me free?”

I remember seeing a comedian years ago doing a bit about how she tries everything because what if when she dies and gets to heaven or whatever's after, and asks why did I spend my whole life feeling unfulfilled? Why did things never click for me? Only to be told because you never did darts duh, that was your thing and you never even tried it. I think about the bit a lot.

I hope you know that you deserve to feel valued and loved and that you're allowed to want people around you to make you feel that way. you are just as worthy of kindness as anyone else.

take it easy. you’re doing the best you can, you just think you’re not doing enough because you put too much pressure on yourself to be perfect and you end up disappointed on yourself. try to set lower goals, realistic ones, and try to accept who you are and what circumstances you have to deal with before being so harsh on yourself. you’re trying, and that’s enough. remember to rest. be gentle. and try to forgive yourself for not being perfect.
