Appreciate being alive, and realise what a huge privilege it is to be able to see, hear, walk, feel. Never take for granted the blessings of having your health, your loved ones alive, your life. Remain humble knowing it can change at any time and always be grateful for it all.
Confidence doesn't come from believing in yourself. It comes from having done the uncomfortable thing enough times that your nervous system stops flagging it as an emergency. Because nothing is actually hard, it's just unfamiliar.
The duality of feeling everything so intensely yet lacking the capability of verbalising your emotions is one of the most gut wrenching and indescribable feelings.
painful truth: u MUST develop a strong opinion of yourself, because if u don't, somebody else will do it for u. and trust me... some ppl will reduce your entire existence to their mood, their jealousy, their insecurity, or one mistake u made three years ago. don't let strangers become the author of your identity. damn...jeeezzz .
one of the main reasons i’m so gentle with myself is cause i believe i’ve already experienced enough hardship in my life. i’ve already been mishandled and undervalued by others and myself at times. so i deserve more patience, forgiveness, and consideration at this point.
I love being optimistic. Like why wouldn't things work out for me? I've survived every version of myself that thought it was over. I've rebuilt from silence, from disappointment, from being underestimated. So yes, I expect good things.Not because I'm delusional, but because I refuse to believe the universe only hands out miracles to other people. My story isn't unlucky. It's unfolding.
Maybe this chapter of your life isn't here to break you. Maybe it's here to teach you how strong you really are. How much you can survive. How much you can rebuild. And how beautiful your life can become once you stop settling for things that hurt your soul.
make yourself so busy, so disciplined, so determined that you don't have time to know what's happening in other people's lives, making pointless comparisons, or irrational opinions. stay focused and devoted to yourself.
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
