i admit i’ve made mistakes, i’ve been toxic, i’ve had a hard time with handling situations in the best way, sometimes i say things in the spur of an angry moment and i don’t always think about how the other person feels. these aren’t things i’m proud of but what i am proud of is being able to admit them and start the process of working on my faults. that’s what is important.

✨Compassion for the self✨ . . . . God holidays are hard. Everyday is hard. Not to rant about negativity but man has my mind been in a blur. I’m trying to hard in life, with people, my job, my home. I can feel it. All these copious amounts of “expendable” energy have proven to be not so much. I needed that energy and didn’t know it. Now I’m here sitting in confusion as I feel like my life falls apart. But it’s not , I know it’s not. I’m feeling ALOT right now, I know that. As I go through thoughts of sadness… thinking about how I’m basically an orphan, how my family has literally left me with nothing. Thinking about how I’ve been in the same place for almost 8 years, how I struggle everyday to make better decisions for my life, how my knee will forever effect all my hopes and dreams. I’m thinking about everything.. All I can do is breath to keep myself from falling into one of these traps my mind is creating. All I can do is be compassionate to myself. Remind myself of these intense emotions and know that not all that glitters is gold. Everything I see on social media is what people allow me to see. And with this sadness I’m definitely letting some glamorous lives effect me in not such a good way… Compassion, love, growth, acceptance. Excuse me while I repeat these words to myself while I sit in my shower. . . 📸 by the babe of babes @volkiska . . . #emotional #creature #vessel #aries #namaste #feelings #transcend #bodylove #bodypositive #sillouette #photography #model #pnw #freelance #oregon #nature #outdoorphotography #loveandalliscoming #mybodymychoice #selflove #acceptance
