I know it all feels overwhelming. Many things to do but you can't really wrap yourself up to do them.

A tip: just do one. Fully. However small it is. Do one, completely. Don't multitask.

At the end of that one, if you feel like, you can do one more. If not, it's fine.

Don't give up on yourself, you are human.

you're allowed to speak up whenever you feel like someone's crossing the line, especially if it happens a lot. your boundaries are far more important than keeping the peace in a relationship.

there's no such thing as someone being ahead of or behind you in life. you are where you are and they are where they are. that's it

[flowerais-deactivated20211031]

it’s okay. it’s okay if you wandered off the path for a while. it’s ok if you haven’t started. you can find your way back. you can still catch up. you can still do amazingly. I believe in you.

you are allowed to be proud of the victories that no one else can see. like showering without completely hating your body, not breaking into tears at the thought of the future, talking yourself out of a dark mindset, calming yourself down in public, or like waking up every single day and choosing life. be proud of the progress no matter if it is visible for others or not. you’re doing great, keep up the good work!

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.

Sometimes you fall off the wagon for months. Sometimes you tell yourself you’re gonna start fresh on Monday and by Wednesday you’ve already fallen back off. Sometimes you have to restart a 100 times and it’s frustrating. But it will be okay. You can do this. One day at a time

sometimes toxic people don’t know they’re being toxic. sometimes hurtful people don’t know they’re being hurtful. so tell them. let them know. and if they are still toxic and still hurtful, then drop them. you gave them a chance. multiple, probably. but they chose to continue doing something they knew you didn’t like. at that point, you don’t owe them an explanation, you owe yourself peace of mind.

what is it with adults thinking children are like an entirely different species to adults. like they're just little people who don't know as many things as you. they still have their own thoughts and feelings and opinions, even if they're sometimes less informed than an adults.

there is literally no reason to treat children like idiots who don't understand the world.

you’re allowed to settle for a calm life, despite people on social media making it seem like you should do all these adventurous things. you don’t have to travel far and wide in order to be happy. you don’t have to have an amazing career in order to be proud of who you are and your life. live your life the way you want to, calm lives are good. a calm life is what i’m aiming for.

double chins, stomach rolls, and stretch marks are cute pass it on

for those who are struggling with having and finding purpose: maybe, for now, your purpose is waking up in the morning and taking on the day ahead. maybe your purpose is continuing to live despite it all.

I wanna be 14 again and ruin my life differently… I have new ideas

[batangiyakinnnnn]

“You’re only 15, you don’t have enough life experience to know things I know.”

Yeah, I am 15. I don’t pay bills yet, I don’t work, I don’t have to worry about money, my family, home or whatever. But don’t you fucking tell me I don’t have enough life experience. I was 8 when my parents divorced. I was 8 when my father left. I was 9 when I cried myself to sleep almost every night. I was 9 when I was called worthless by my relatives. I was 11 when I had my first suicidal thoughts. I was 11 when I realized nobody cared. I was 11 when I thought that everybody would be happier without me.

I was 13 when I discovered my mother had a baby with another man. I was 13 when my mother decided that she didn’t want to see me anymore. I was 13 when I knew that the only thing I could be excited for was death. I was 14 when my classmates almost bullied me into suicide. I was 14 when my teachers didn’t do anything about it.

Now, I am 15 and have social anxiety. I am 15 and have almost no friends. I am 15 and I have extreme trust issues. I am 15 and I know nobody cares. I am 15 and I know that this world isn’t worth living in. I am 15 and music are my only escapes. I am 15 and I know everybody lies when they tell you “love yourself no matter what”. I am 15 and in all honesty, I want death for my birthday.

So don’t you fucking tell me I don’t have enough life experience because I have been through what most people haven’t and I have kept it all a secret. My friends don’t know I’m suicidal, my mother doesn’t love me. And you seriously don’t know how hard it is to be so afraid that someone will yell at you or judge you because of what you did/been through so you just don’t talk about it with no one. It’s just you and your thoughts. And it has felt like I have lived a thousand years. So sit your ass down and shut your fuck mouth because I have enough life experience for anything.

[batangiyakinnnnn]

this was 6 years ago, and until today i still want death for my birthday.

[mental-ch-illness]

you ever just sit there like ‘man a breakdown would be nice right now’ because you’re sitting on all these emotions you can’t express for whatever reason and it’d be nice to get them out in one go

[chibird]

Some days we are strong enough to fight. Some days we are not, and that’s okay. It’s really tough, really tiring to fight every day. Don’t feel bad for needing time to rest.
