When I’m feeling depressed, I remind myself of this...
the bad days that I have now... are better than the best days I had 5 years ago.
it may not seem like it day to day... but you are growing. You are getting stronger. Even in your darkest times.
Lord, help us make peace with the fact we will disappoint people. Help us make peace with the fact other people will disappoint us. And give us the perspective that not every disappointment is epic.
my advice to middle school/high school girls... skip the “being a brat to your mom” stage and appreciate the heck out of that woman.. when you’re off on your own you’ll quickly realize that she is the best and truest friend you’ll ever have
