if you've lost years of your life to abuse or mental illness, please know it's not too late for you. it's never too late for you. you can do everything you dreamed of when you were a kid - there's still time. you have time to shape yourself and your life into what you want.
life can be overwhelming but please remember to take the time for yourself and take breaks when you need it. you're doing so well and your efforts are appreciated.
never forget that being connected to your own self is the most important thing before anything else. knowing who you are and staying true to yourself is the ultimate form of self care.
some days are harder than others so please don't give yourself a hard time for not achieving as much as you planned. i'm proud of you for getting through the day, that alone is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud for trying your best.
gentle reminder your efforts are appreciated and i'm so proud of you for trying the best that you can given your circumstances, i'm proud of you for making progress and if u feel like no one is recognizing this just know i see your hard work, you are doing so well.
i hope you’re doing okay, i hope you’re being gentle with yourself, i hope your inner voice is being kind to you, i hope you’re proud of all you’ve overcome. and if you're not please this is your reminder to be kind to yourself.
gentle reminder that it’s okay to fail; your results do not define your worth, you are loved by people because of who you are, not numbers or grades or expectations. you are trying your best given your circumstances at the moment and that's amazing
whoever’s reading this, i pray that you find happiness. not temporary happiness, or “if i pretend and put on a smile & laugh, maybe i’ll be happy” kind of happiness, but long lasting real happiness. the kind of happiness that makes ur face glow & lights up ur soul. you deserve it
i know it might seem absolutely impossible at times but you will find your place in the world, you will see beauty in things you didn’t notice before, your mindset will change, you will find people that feel like home, and you will achieve great things one day. you will be happy.
recovery isn’t linear. recovery is difficult, time consuming, painful, and different for everyone. please be patient. there will always be bumps in the road, but you have the strength to get over them all. i'm proud of you for getting through each day, please keep growing.
every day, try your best to think of yourself as improving yourself into the best version of yourself - remember to care for your needs, to care for your mental, emotional, and physical needs; don’t push yourself too far or run yourself ragged, take breaks and time to yourself
