No matter how many times you fail to meet your own expectations, you have to forgive yourself. Despite contrary belief, dwelling on and badgering yourself over your faults doesn’t ever help you grow into who you want to be.

It’s like gardening: if your flower isn’t blossoming like you want it to, you don’t rip out its leaves as punishment for failing to satisfy you. You recognize the problem and figure out what’s going wrong with its environment so you can modify it, giving the flower a chance to bloom in its own time.

Accept your shortcoming or setback, forgive yourself, and figure out what’s going wrong so that you can plan for how to prevent it from repeating in the future. Thank your past self for trying in the first place and then give your future self the love needed to flourish.

“The god of war, But not always the violent kind. The god of fighting, He doesn’t care what you battle, Just keep fighting, Never give in. He smiles at teens, Suffering, struggling, drowning. He smiles at them Because they are fighting. Any battle is worthy Of the god of war. “Smile,” he says. “Show them your strength.” His eyes burn as he laughs. “Smile,” he says. “You win if you survive. You survive if you never stop fighting.” The god of war, Only sometimes the violent kind. The god of fighting Finds his temples In boxing rings Where everything goes. Ares represents life, Because to live is to fight. To live is to battle Every second of every day, Just to breathe, Just to keep going.”

— Not every war is bloody. Not every war ends

Hey y’all! Remember when I said I was finally gonna start college earlier this year after having put it off for years but that I would try and stay up to date on here??? Well it’s the end of the semester and I have opened tumblr maybe twice since then lol. I’m going through a whooooole lot of major life changes right now but hopefully over winter break I can get back in the swing of things here. I just wanted to say I miss all of you guys and thanks for sticking around even through my absence ♥️💕💖
