1) speak up. 2) stop settling. 3) giving is beautiful but don’t let yourself be taken advantage of. 4) be picky about the compromises and sacrifices you make for others. 5) you deserve good things. 6) you deserve reciprocation. 7) everyone you surround yourself with should make you feel good on all levels. 8) you are not asking for too much. 9) your feelings matter. 10) people can’t help you if you pretend to be okay all the time.

What does your sorrow do while you sleep? -It’s awake and waiting. And when it loses patience, it wakes me up.

Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work. It means that you do not treat your body as a commodity with which to purchase superficial intimacy or economic security; for our bodies to be treated as objects, our minds are in mortal danger. It means insisting that those to whom you give your friendship and love are able to respect your mind. It means being able to say, with Charlotte Brönte’s Jane Eyre: “I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all the extraneous delights should be withheld or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”
