do not shy away from pride. it doesn’t always have to carry its negative connotation. celebrate yourself - for your uniqueness, achievements, and everything that you are, and celebrate others just as intensely.
make efforts to understand yourself, primarily your thoughts and your emotional experience. there is so much you can learn just from observing these two. find a way to record everything that’s on your mind and see how they change over time.
give yourself enough time to heal. you have your own pace, your own breaks, your own growth - and as long as you believe that you’re on the right track, you’ll be fine.
yes, people do care for you. they are willing to listen to your problems and help you get through them. they are willing to love you, even when you don’t feel like they are. don’t be afraid to open up.
do something reckless. something powerful. something surprising. feel the adrenaline rush running through your body. feel the breathtakingly beautiful sensation that you’re alive, and living.
