my therapist told me this and it hit me: “healing is so hard because it is a constant battle between your inner child who is scared and just wants safety.... your inner teenager who is angry and just wants justice.... and your current self-who is tired and just wants peace."
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 am such a forgiving person, also a sweetheart but life taught me that you have to set certain boundaries because people will take advantage of that & play you for a sucka!
the real luxuries in life:
- time
- health
- a quiet mind
- slow mornings
- ability to travel
- rest without guilt
- a good night's sleep
- calm and "boring" days
- meaningful conversations
- home-cooked meals
- people you love
- people who love you back
Some days better than others!! Continue to find small wins in the days where u feel like they were a “loss” and never take ur eyes off the biggg picture in the meantime….
