It's absolutely worth it!

Hey~ I'm a 19 year old girl, wanting to spread positivity!♡ If you're in need of talking to someone, I'll listen. I'm not a professional, but my ask and chat are always open.

Monday Morning

So, it‘s monday again.

Laying in my bed,

Creatures in my head.

It’s already light outside.

But I don’t mind,

Today, I just have to be kind.

Smile.

Be aware of the wall,

Walk cheerful through the hall.

The light inside of me.

Is it even there?

Do I really care?

It will enlighten again.

I just have to get through the day,

I will find my way.

I can do it.

I will stand up and fight,

get through another night.

Bad times will pass.

The pain will go away,

and it will be okay.

Stop waiting for life to be easy. Stop hoping for somebody to save you. You don’t need another person lying to you. Things don’t all add up. But you are resilient. Face some hard facts and you could have an incredible life.

To The Bone (via wherever-i-look-blog)

before ya’ll jump on To The Bone (2017) for romanticizing eating disorders in the same way 13rw  romanticizes suicide, keep in mind that the film is written and directed by Marti Noxon who based the film on her own personal struggles with eating disorders and stars lily collins who has also been very public about her battles with eating disorders. also the cast (including Keanu Reeves) have been raising awareness about eating disorders since early 2016 (when they began filming). of course you should steer clear of any potentially triggering content if you have an ed, I just wanted to point out that To The Bone has not been composed in the same circumstance as 13rw

Things to ask yourself more often:

- how are you right now? - is anything bothering you? - are you being honest with yourself? - do you want to do this right now? - is this a healthy decision? - do you want to say no? - how could this be better? - are you drinking enough water? - did you remember your meds? - did you remember to eat today? - are you happy?

Sometimes self care is studying for that test. Sometimes it’s cleaning your room. Sometimes it’s having that conversation you’re afraid of having, confront that person you’re afraid to confront. Sometimes it’s not just wrapping yourself up in a blanket and relaxing. Sometimes instead, it’s taking action against the problem.

Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

Bruh. This needs to be a mandatory post on everybody’s blog. Y'all really be pullin out decade old receipts like woah.

Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.

Gaining weight does not make you a worse person, and losing weight doesn’t make you a better one. Your weight is not a reflection of your worth.

Things I wish someone would say to me right now, so I’m saying them to you:

You are worth so much more than you know.

You are so strong for fighting this long, hard fight.

It’s okay to not be at your A-game right now.

I’m here for you, and I always will be.

There are so many people who love you for being you.

It’s okay to not be feeling okay right now.

I value you as a friend and as a unique individual.

You have so much to offer this world.

I don’t want you to hurt yourself, but if you do I won’t be mad at you. 

I don’t want you to cry, but if you do I will hold you as long as you want. 

I know you’re trying your best, and that’s good enough for me.

This feels endless, but it’s not.  Keep going and it’ll be okay.

Stay strong, everyone.  We’re in this together.

friendly reminder that your weight can fluctuate throughout the day depending on the water you just drank/how long ago you ate. (so pls don’t weigh yourself frequently t/o the day. what you see on the scale is not your true weight, and even then, weight itself holds very little value to who you are as a person. it’s just your relationship to gravity, and you have other important relationships to worry about.)

Today I realized that a true smile looks better on me than being skinny ever will. I know I can’t have both my eating disorder and happiness. So let 2017 be the year of making the right choices.
