even when things are at their worst, there will still be

dogs that wag their tail at you

the kindness of strangers

libraries and books

the endless possibilities out there

the promise it will get better

Critical voices we adopt are simply external projections placed on us. That’s not to say we cannot take criticism- it’s vital for growth, but the way in which we internalize beliefs is very important. It’s about responsibility, not blame. For example, if I were to miss my alarm in the morning I may say this: "God damnit Faye! You always do this! Why can’t you be more responsible? Why aren’t you more reliable..etc." VS "Tomorrow I’ll put two alarms to be safe and keep the volume on max. Tonight I'll try to go to bed earlier..etc." It’s essential to feel our pain, our disappointments, our guilt but if we counterbalance it with actionable change, little by little, we can grow in healthy ways (which is super hot guys, we all want that mental glow up).

15 Inspiring Quotes from Inspiring Women

If you have been to the homepage of this blog, you might have seen the three quotes that I have displayed there. For many people, quotes can be a source of inspiration and encouragement, something to remind you to keep going even when life seems hard. Personally, I like to keep quotes in my office, in my bullet journal, and even in my bedroom to keep me motivated.

With so many inspiring and motivational quotes out there, I would like to share some of my favorites with you. Of course, I knew had to share these quotes on the birthday of the woman who has always inspired me: my mother. As the first female police officer of Portsmouth, Ohio, what better way to honor my mom than by sharing quotes by strong women like her.

These are my favorite inspiring quotes by inspiring women.

The times we struggle through can feel like wasted opportunity, it can feel like we’ve gained nothing because we’re focusing so much on getting through the days, or recovering. You might find you’ve grown a lot through this periods, and that is such a good thing. You’re becoming stronger, more in touch with yourself, and it’s important not to diminish that <3

You don’t have to earn food. You don’t have to workout today to eat, you don’t have to get “enough” work completed, you don’t have to reach perfection. You always deserve nourishment.

Don’t get angry at yourself for feeling drained. Growth takes a lot of energy. It’s really not as simple as it looks.

I crave space. It charges my batteries. It helps me breathe. Being around people can be so exhausting, because most of them love to take and barely know how to give - except for a rare few.

How to Clean Your Closet (By Getting Rid of Old Clothes)

Do you have a closet that’s overflowing with clothes but nothing to wear? Ever since I got hit with the freshman fifteen, I have been shoving size 4 jeans into the back of my closet waiting for the day that I could fit into them again. Two years later, I have no idea where to put those old clothes and I am far from squeezing back into those old jeans. This year I came to a realization that I did not want to accept: It is time to rid my closet of my old high school wardrobe.
