For all the people that:

•feel like they wasted their potential

• feel like they could've been something more

• feel like they could've done better,

• feel they could've made the people around them more proud of them

• feel like they could've made a better use of their situations and opportunities

• regret the chances that they didn't take

Don't beat yourself up for it, you did the best you could at the moment to survive, and you did, and I'm proud of you for surviving. Sometimes its hard to see opportunities when you're focused on just making it through. Your time will come, a time where you feel like you can live and don't constantly have to survive and feel like every day is another hardship. Im proud at you for surviving.

you don’t need an excuse for being good to yourself, you can be good to yourself just because. even if everything went wrong, even if you feel like you haven’t achieved anything in a while, even if you’ve been unproductive and tired, you’re still allowed to treat and take care of yourself.

I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.

I really needed this

I’m bringing this back for December to remind everyone.

You did not waste your year.

If you made it this far, that’s already not wasting your year.

You made it through the year, you laughed, you cried, you smiled, you saw the sun and felt the rain, and most importantly, you’re still here.

You did not waste your year.

You mad it this far, and I’m proud of you.

thank you thank you 

especially important this year!!!!

you cannot force someone to do something just because you think it’s “for their own good”.

someone who is being forced to “recover” usually doesn’t actually recover, because they’re being forced into an environment they’re not ready for and don’t want to be in. forcing someone into recovery just leads to trauma and distrust

all you can do is create an environment where they feel comfortable and safe, and help them to access support if and when they feel ready for it

reblogging ur emotions is better than saying it to other people

green flag to those people who updates you bc they know how you overthink while waiting for them

Gentle reminder;

Everyone has different sized plates. You might think someone doesn’t have alot on their plate compared to you, but that is not necessarily true ♡

Their plate could be very different from yours. It could be made of flimsy, thin paper instead of ceramic. It could be smaller, even slightly broken or just not be as sturdy as the ceramic plate ♡

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that! We just need to remember this instead of judging someone for not “doing as much as other people do/doing as much as society wants them to do”♡

Take this into consideration when you think someone has it “easy” or “don’t do much and get too overwhelmed” compared to you or other people ♡

Many people fight invisible battles everyday. Battles they never describe or discuss with anyone ♡

Always be kind, we can never truly know how someone feels and what they are going through at the moment. Your smile can totally make their day ♡

Something that I am gradually learning as an adult is that all the cringey things you enjoyed as a teenager aren’t cringey at all. Cringeyness is just a social construct and in all honesty, who cares? As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, don’t feel guilty for enjoying the hobbies you indulge in! Go back to watching anime and playing dorky video games or rewatching children’s programmes for the nostalgia. Take up painting again. Read those books you never got around to as you grew up. We weren’t put on this planet to be miserable and follow society’s norms, so just go ham!
