I broke down after a lecture today and finally realised how hard I had been on myself, how unfair I had been to my body and mind. I'll never achieve the mountains of expectations I pile on myself and it's okay. It doesn't make me less worthy of rest, of being treated right, of care and affection. I'm the most unmerciful to myself, most cruel and harsh. But I'm working on finding my kindness, I'm working on my forgiveness.

You're in the grocery store aisle and you buy cheap spaghetti and cereal, this is it. High school and college, work and weekends and festivals roll like credits at the end of a movie. This is it.

You wasted another day but the sun is still out there and it'll be there tomorrow and the day after. I hope you remember to love yourself a little bit more and brush your teeth before going to bed.

Just because a decision hurts that doesn’t mean it was a wrong decision.
