hi tonight I’m thinking of all the people who are worse off than they were this time last year. of the people who have gone downhill mentally instead of up and of the people whose lives have gotten worse instead of better.
You may be in a really awful place right now but I am telling you that there is relief ahead. You will be able to breathe again. I know you probably can’t believe that right now, so trust me instead of your own doubts. I love you.
i bet the stars would be so proud to know their fragments created someone like you
gentle reminder
you can still celebrate your recovery even if you weren’t at rock bottom - you don’t have to be at your worst to get better
i have goals. and i have plans. but if those things don’t work out, it doesn’t mean i’m a failure. it just means i have to recalibrate and reassess. if one goal isn’t met it doesn’t invalidate all the other goals i will have in my life time.
You are recovering. You need to be kind to yourself and not forget that. Do not push away the kindness you receive, especially if it comes from yourself.
life’s too short to not fill each moment with love. Choose to buy that plant you saw at the shops and nurture it. Choose to take a study break and spend it sketching or day dreaming. Choose to keep that picture you took of you with your s/o for yourself to enjoy instead of watching for the likes coming on social media. Put love into how you do your hair or maybe whack it into a messy bun and put love into creating art. Put love into how you treat others and value all members of society, treating everyone with love and respect. Choose to love yourself as you would others, respecting yourself and loving yourself, especially after failure. Choose love.
when you hate your legs
remember that they carried you through the hardest parts of your life. they get you out of bed every day and take you to what you love.
when you hate your stomach
remember that it helped you gain strength. it holds the memories of deep laughter and great meals. it is full of warmth and joy.
when you hate your arms
remember that they are strong, which makes you strong. but they are also soft and can be used to cuddle and hold the ones you love.
