don’t make other people’s decisions for them. apply for the job you don’t think you’ll get. let them decide if you have the skills they’re looking for. tell that person you like them even though you think they’re out of your league. let them decide if they like you. stop trying to predict and control everything. bring what you have to the table. let the rest go.

For the sake of your mental health, let people think what they want. Their fiction is not your truth.

when you see your little kitty walking toward you at a leisurely pace and say "hi baby!" bc you're excited to see her and she starts trotting a little bit faster 'cause she's excited to see you too. that's what life is all about i think

"yeah I'm doing okay haha, just going through it ^^'" - girl who will burst into tears if you give her a hug

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible

I love revoking people’s access to me like actually no you don’t deserve to know me anymore :-)

Getting ready for my post graduate teaching program because my life didn’t end when I finished college with a 2.7 gpa, had to take courses over just to transfer to undergrad, got rejected from my first choice university, and thought I failed my graduation requirements when I got one of my lowest marks in my elective class. 💕🙏🏾
