crazy that everyone expects u to have a job and go to school and be in a successful relationship and be well dressed and articulate urself well and get the right amount of sleep and eat well and enjoy your hobbies like…i can do maybe two of those things on a good day

unfortunately for me, i want to be wanted

don’t force yourself to do more than you’re ready for. it’s okay to stop and change course.

you’re trying? that’s what matters and yes, it really does matter

[freshapplecider]

I forgot having a crush is just a sense of want so big you could cry

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

things to not feel guilty about:

putting yourself first

setting boundaries and saying “no”

resting and taking downtime

nourishing your body

“giving up” on things not meant for you

taking time to heal even if it’s longer than expected

failing (no matter how many times you do it)

feel free to add!

I hope you find your way back to yourself. to the version of you that you miss, to a version of you that you recognize and identify with. I hope you meet happy again.
