You can change your mind about how you feel about romance or sex.
Just because you liked or wanted either of them in the past doesn't mean you have to like or want them now.
If you didn't want or like either of them in the past, it doesn't mean you're not allowed to like or want them now.
any growth is still growth. when a plant grows, even if it is not yet flourishing or fully thriving, it is still surviving.
I also can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve thought one of my plants was dying as it’s shrunk back to only a couple leaves, only for it to turn around and start growing again, slowly but surely.
You can feel so far gone and still come back, there’s always a chance for growth.

Your friends like you. They do not just tolerate you. Please don’t lose contact with someone out of that fear. You are self rejecting. It’s possible to keep friendships going even if you do not see each other everyday (as you do at school or if you work together) it just takes a bit more work, cause it requires more effort in terms of reaching out and planning. But you are worth that effort, and you are worth keeping in contact with, and your friends value you. Your friends like you. Please don’t self reject in friendships just because circumstances change. 🌸
some snail positivity 🐌

Someone told me this when I was having a bad night and I thought a lot of people could use some positivity right now. This is dedicated to all of my friends who has sent me encouragement and love, and was there for me when I needed them most. And this is for everyone who is having a rough patch in their life right now.
You will get through this. We will get through this.

“You may not be hurting me intentionally, but even then I have a right to walk out of this relationship” has revolutionized my concept on human connection for real. Like someone doesn’t have to be an awful person for me to walk out of something that’s making me uncomfortable?? I can still decide enough is enough in spite of a person’s best intentions??? Mind blown
“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do.”
