The thing is, even as you accomplish more and become greater in life, you will still feel this way sometimes. You have to accept who you are now as good enough because it’s the internal feelings that make all the difference, not the external achievements.
shoutout to everyone making progress that no one recognized because you never let anyone see your darkest moments. i see you and i am so, so proud of every little step you’re making in the right direction.
Parents: *yell at their children*
Parents: *hold their children to unattainable standards that they themselves couldn’t even achieve*
Parents: *project toxic feelings into their kids*
Parents: *are emotionally and verbally abusive to their kids*
Parents: *do not cater to the emotional needs of their children*
Kids: *get older*
Kids: *don’t want to foster a relationship with their parents*
Parents: OMG what did I do wrong? I’ve always tried to raise you right. You’re so ungrateful for cutting me out of your life.
Don’t let anything hold you back.
people are allowed to leave you. people are allowed to break up with you. people are allowed to love you but not want to be with you. people are allowed to not want to talk to you. people are allowed to put their happiness before yours and do what makes them happy even if it does not include you. people are allowed to move on from you. people are allowed to fall in love with someone else. people are allowed to not want you in their life. people are allowed to do whatever they want to better themselves and become the version of themselves they are trying so hard to love. don’t be bitter towards someone who is only trying to be happy.
I feel like this POV does not get enough voice.
i wanna touch u all the time; i wanna hold ur hand and stroke ur thumb and count the freckles on ur arm; i want u to never stop smiling
