let's recover

It’s okay that you’re not who you thought you would be

wow this is one of the softest things I have read on here.

I needed this

you won’t always wake up in the mornings with such a heavy heart, I promise.

You’re so lucky if you’re in love and it’s reciprocated and it’s healthy and innocent and pure

I’m no longer interested in pain. it doesn’t inspire me, it doesn’t motivate me, I don’t think it’s a beautiful thing. I’ve spent too long making suffering a part of my personality

stop telling girls with thick thighs that they shouldn’t wear light wash jeans because they’re “unflattering.” stop telling short girls that they shouldn’t wear high-waisted jeans because they make them look shorter. stop telling girls with big thighs to stay away from baggy clothes and boyfriend jeans. stop telling petite girls they can’t wear capris. stop telling telling tall girls to avoid wearing heels so they won’t “intimidate” people. stop telling skinny girls to only wear tops that give them the illusion of having hips. stop telling girls with big boobs to avoid shirts and dresses without a waist. stop telling chubby girls to stay away from patterns and horizontal stripes. stop telling girls with cellulite to wear long shorts. stop telling short girls to wear heels and vertical stripes to make themselves look taller. stop telling pale girls they can’t wear warm colors and stop telling dark girls they can’t wear cool colors. stop telling girls to be ashamed of their body type.

SO. IMPORTANT.

Two of the most life-changing things I’m still realizing every day: 1) You have to live for yourself. No matter how much self hatred you are holding on to, you have to live to make yourself happy. You can’t live for another person - no matter who it is. You are the only person that knows you and how you feel. You need to know that you make a contribution and that you are needed. 2) Life works like a wheel - 5 main points being Social, Spiritual, Love, Self, and School/Work. In order for a wheel to work correctly, they need to be even in satisfaction. If all are at the same level, but low, then it’s like a flat tire. If one area is amazing while another is awful/non-existent, the wheel doesn’t turn correctly/efficiently. You have to try your best to balance all of them and it’ll make your life smoother, a little more bearable.
