Being angry, jealous, or frustrated doesn’t make you a bad person. It’s how you respond to those emotions that defines you.

If you lost your teenage years to mental illness and/or trauma, I just want you to know that you did not "miss out on the best years of your life" and that it isn't actually too late for you to have fun, explore yourself and grow into the person you want to be. There's still plenty of time for all of that. I promise.

i hate too much small talk

Self care isn't always fun, pleasant and relaxing. Sometimes it really is relaxing in a bubble bath - but more often it's forcing yourself out of bed even though you don't have the energy to take on the day. It's standing up for yourself even when it's hard and uncomfortable. It's fighting your impulses to do something self-destructive even though it's a tough battle. It's getting yourself into that shower for the first time in a week even though it's so hard you're crying. It's cooking a proper meal even when you'd rather just eat ice cream. It's reaching out even when you're afraid of getting rejected. It's opening up even though you're not completely sure the person you're talking to is worthy of your trust. It's working out even though you're tired. It's cleaning even though it feels impossible. What I'm trying to say is that the right choice isn't always the easiest or most pleasant one, and that this is really important to acknowledge if you want to continue recovering.

Sometimes all you need to do is sit in the woods until you feel the earth numb your soul and seep into your bones.

You’re always going to be young in someone’s eyes and old in someone else’s, talented to one and terrible to the next. The worlds never going to agree on a definition of what you are so you might as well ignore that shit and be whatever the fuck you wanna be for yourself.

...to take care of everything and everyone around you, all the time.

it's great if you take care of your loved ones and surely is a reflection of the kindness inside your heart but you are not obligated to do when you aren't feeling up to it.

don't let people take advantage of your kindness in anyway. you can only be helpful, if you feel appreciated and happy. helping others with a feeling of resentment is not a good scenario for either you or them.

make sure your own cup is full, before you pour out feelings and kindness for others. think of yourself too, and not as an after thought ✨

Here's a hug to anyone who's having a bad day ༼ つ ◕‿◕ ༽つ

Be there for others but never leave yourself behind.

romance yourself, take yourself out on little dates, buy little trinkets and small things that make you happy, surround yourself with your favourite colours and things and knickknacks and be the love of your own life

​im on the brink of a panic attack and yes this post is calming me down

Protect your dreams.
