healing is when you have an intrusive thought and instead of having a meltdown you go “girl what?? shut up” and move on

you can envy where other people are in life and still understand it’s okay to be where you are at personally. remember comparisons are unfair. we’re all living different lives with different challenges.

Comparison is truly the thief of joy. Most of my friends are way ahead of me in life yet I am happy for all their successes because I don't compare myself to them. Protect your peace.

but life goes on

making better choices is not only for your future self but also for your past self that didn’t have the tools to do so.

ten years ago you were so scared of such different things, but you survived them anyway. the same goes for five years ago and two years ago. everything that has ever felt like a hurdle, you’ve passed through. so be afraid, identify your fears, and then allow yourself to remember that in just a little while, this will be another thing that you have overcome.

Plants take time to spread their roots before you see even their first leaves. Just because you cannot see progress does not mean you are not making any.

Trans bodies are good bodies. Disabled bodies are good bodies. Fat bodies are good bodies. Intersex bodies are good bodies. Your body is a good body.

nothing is permanent and you can overcome everything. give yourself credit for all you did and remember about your strength. give yourself breaks ofc, but don't give up. there are also great beautiful joys ahead just for you to enjoy and not only scary things you need to pass through.

sometimes you have to choose the neural pathway less traveled in your brain
