LIFE HACK: if you see a picture of someone who looks like they've gained weight - YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL THEM.

They know. They live in their body 24/7.

You don't know the damage your comments could do to them mentally.

Their body is literally not your business.

Scroll on.

You are more than the part of you that tells you that you aren't good enough.

You are more than your self doubt.

You are more than the days when things feel hopeless.

You are more than any idea of your failures, flaws or shortcomings that you have.

You are more.

"Sun/Moon/rising?" is the "A/S/L?" of the millennial generation.

Girls spend their whole girlhood intaking messages about serving others. Then, spend their whole adulthood unlearning and learning ways to put themselves first. Redefining what it means to be a woman.

[Chani Nicholas @chaninicholas]

You don’t owe anyone anything that you do not have to give. You are not responsible for filling up the vessels of what others let run dry. You do not have to be a keeper of those that refuse to do any of their own maintenance.

Remember to give your body a couple of days to recuperate after something triggering happens. We need at least 72 hrs to come back to ourselves.

Personal reminder:
- I am not weak.
- I am not broken.
- I am not my mental illness.

Stay strong, you got this.

[Chani Nicholas @chaninicholas]

Careful not to rush towards an ending just to get out of a feeling.

[Megan 🐼 @meganjcrabbe]

Your anxiety doesn't make you worthless.

Your depression doesn't make you a burden.

Your eating disorder doesn't make you unlovable.

Your PTSD doesn't make you inadequate.

How many immigrants & refugees would have stayed in their homelands if Western countries had not colonized them to begin with, continued to exploit them for natural resources & contributed to their destabilization?

PSA: Refusing to make space for other people's toxic bullshit in your life isn't mean, bullying or abusive. It's called boundaries. Feel free to enforce yours as needed.
