It invalidates a victim's experience when you judge them based on how they choose to deal with this situation. If you have or haven’t through something similarly, it is never your right to pass judgement on a victim when they are telling you their story. They already feel like imposters to their own body and mind.

Accepting your disappointments and undesirable emotions is an action that occurs in the present.

Stop bringing back people who have hurt you deeply because you cannot tolerate sitting still with your loneliness.

Love is like the wind: it’s invisible, but we feel every fiber that hits us.

Negative emotions are like a flu. You cannot judge yourself for feeling that way, so allow yourself to experience it and rest without pushing away.

Feelings are like flowers; but when you suppress them, they become weeds that will hurt to pull up.

In 2021, promise me something, that you will live for the things you love doing and actively do those things, so you can light your soul on fire with meaning. You are deserving of success, so here's your sign to start your journey on the road to unconformability. Whatever makes you the happiest, do it. Whoever makes you laugh the hardest be around. 2021 doesn’t have to be a tragedy like 2020 it can be the renewal you can experience, like how the sun beautifully peaks after a storm.

I have reminisced about all the memories that have kept my heart beating through 2020, contemplated the hypothetical risks I should have taken in the past, and realized the small risks that I feared were worth taking. So here's your sign to reach out to the people you have to miss spending time with, even if it's been years. Tell the people you love how important they are to you because your vulnerability might be their motivation to get out of their funk or wake them up from the comfort of living in their sorrows. Instead of waiting for the right people to support you, become a better person for yourself that you and others can depend on. Let go of settling for people who only contact you out of boredom or convenience, but reach out to people whom you know will always cherish the way you made them feel. Don’t continue to create heaven and hell for yourself based on what you’re feeling because of your circumstances. You may be a victim due to your situation, but refuse to stay one by being proactive in the new year. So much of the time, you get lost in nostalgia, but why not create better memories despite the hardships you have endured?

You don't have to continue to create a heaven and hell for yourself based on what you're feeling.

Perhaps depression is a concoction of regretfulness and numbness from the inability to act on the things you that mean the most to you.

It’s easy to put people on pedestals when they only show you the good that happens to them.

I wished my old self knew that boys don’t determine my worth. I define who I want to be and I have a unique purpose.
