“Sometimes you need to scorch everything to the ground, and start over. After the burning the soil is richer, and new things can grow. People are like that, too. They start over. They find a way.”
depression is such a wild thing honestly two week ago, i was in the best place i’d been in in years and now i feel like…i dont even know what i feel like my mom asked me a question a few minutes ago and the effort that it took to look over and answer her. the effort it took just to speak at all. it was far too much. i know that in getting better, there’s always hiccups. but i feel like the hiccup is choking me up and i can’t breathe anymore. i feel like my lungs are filling up with sand. but i feel empty too.

how to be less judgmental/deal with judgment: -make it a lifestyle, wake up every morning with no intent to judge and remind yourself when you catch yourself judging others. -know that when people judge you they do not know you like you do. -they don’t know what good you have done, and that is ok. their life won’t be as satisfying if they need proof that you’re a good person, you just need to know that for yourself. -even if you are thinking something, just try to hold it in (like seeing an instagram post and immediately showing your friend and saying negative things about it). - be aware that most people who judge you for something are most likely insecure about that in themselves and see a flaw in you that is only there because they want to see it and make themselves feel better. - imagine yourself being the person you’re judging and hearing what you said about them but about you, does it make you not want to say it anymore? - just because something is different than your way doesnt mean it is wrong. it is hard to think this because that person probably thinks the same about you. who’s to say who is right? you both equally feel that what you are doing is the “right” way.
