I believe in myself. Even when no one does. And that's enough, having me.

you can trade one partner for another, one friend for another, one city for another, and still you have the same internal work to do. That’s what you are left with, yourself, the work, and the way it all connects to everything and everyone you have ever encountered.

“Only the disciplined ones in life are free. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods and your passions.” - Eliud Kipchoge

Work on yourself in silence, don't expect to be revered by others for your improvements. Improve for yourself only and don't involve yourself in messy interpersonal situations. Be above all the mediocrity, toxicity, and chaos around you. You don't owe a reaction or complicity to the people around you.

Someday, it might take a while, but things will hurt less and then not at all. Things will still hurt in your day to day life, but you will find a community, a home, and you will find peace.

You deserve a happy, peaceful life.

You live for you , not for others. And those who judge you, are usually jealous of you . They don't want to see you happy so they try anything to bring you down. Focus on yourself, not on others.

As a rule of thumb Don’t assume you mean anything special to a person if they don’t show you and very confirm that’s how they feel. Don’t put on your detective hat and try to figure out if x means y and that leads to z. Because if a person cares for you, they will make it known. And you deserve a person that makes it known how much you mean to them

Don't tell people your boundaries. Show them.

If you tell someone they can't talk to you a certain way or do certain things, those are not boundaries. Boundaries are things we show. If you tell someone "if you do that again I am not going to speak to you" and you stay and continue to speak to them, that's not a boundary. Just words. Words that they now know means absolutely nothing and they can take advantage of.

You show people how to treat you.

You reinforce your boundaries with your actions. Unless you show someone with your actions that what they are doing is not okay, and you do not continue to allow it, they will keep doing it.
