if you feel like you have to “water down” ur personality for someone else they don’t deserve to be in your life. if you have to be a less intense version of yourself to be palatable for someone else they don’t deserve your presence. period
Sometimes self care is treating yourself to new make up and clothes. Sometimes it’s saving your money instead. Sometimes it’s eating healthy or ordering a takeaway pizza, sometimes it’s doing that work you’ve been putting off, or taking time out for you. Everyone is different.
Reminder that you don’t have to be happy all the time. Don’t make yourself miserable by trying to “fix” being sad.
Sadness is a part of life. Embrace it, work through it and come out on the other side truly happy because you allowed yourself to feel. Stay strong friends!
