A magical part of healing yourself is when you become an avenue through which others heal — you’ve shown them new possibilities and inspired change within themselves.
when you ask someone to show up for you in an emotionally safe way and they refuse to learn how, rest your mind. allow it to stop creating excuses for their behaviour. people do their best to show up for who they believe is worthwhile, and that’s an answer in itself.
learn not to take your low points personally, not to take them as end points, not to attach your ungraceful moments as every thing that defines you. there are still many pages you are yet to write, yet to see, don’t let one bad chapter ruin what could be a beautiful book for you.
it’s true. a lot of people won’t celebrate you until your wins feel “big” enough to them. but you can celebrate yourself now. you can be proud of every step you take and every sacrifice you make. and you won’t need other people’s applause to be proud of how far you’ve come.
