Self-Love Manifesto

I was at my friend’s house the other day, and noticed this on their fridge. They said their mother put it there to remind the family about self-love and self care. It came from this website. As soon as I saw it, I took a picture of it. It’s on my phone. I try to read it every day to remind myself that I am valuable, I am important and I am worthwhile. 

I figured some people might need to see this, too. 

I am enough just as I am. I don’t have to do anything to make myself “worthy.” I am my own source of validation.

I have many things to be thankful for. So I begin each day with a grateful heart.

I make mistakes often. This is how I know I am alive and willing to try new things. There is no other way to grow. Life is all about growth.

I have wonderful gifts to share with others.

I give myself permission to let go of everything that gets in the way of loving myself.

I must always put myself first. I understand that I cannot give anything to anybody if I don’t first give to myself.

I don’t take the actions, words or beliefs of others personally. Because what other people think, do and say is always about them, not me.

I forgive myself and others easily. This is how I let go of the past.

I stay away from people with bad intentions. This is how I protect my precious time, energy, and spirit from being wasted and devalued.

I practice a habit of self-care that honors all the parts of me—physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional.

You are important. You deserve forgiveness. You don’t need forgiveness from those around you, you need it from yourself. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. Love yourself for who you are. Allow yourself to grow. 

I don’t know you, but I love you. You are important, you have value, and I love you.

Who are your best Tumblr friends?

I think my best Tumblr friends are those I made with my sideblog, especially

@ccolah we met in person on multiple occasions and had week long stays at eachother's 🇮🇹🌻🇵🇱

@itshillaryrodamn who is just the loveliest chat buddy and towards whom I feel very protective 🐣💕

@royaltyisshe64 who is a very reflexive and insightful person I enjoy interacting with very much 🧘‍♀️🌎

I also like interacting with a lot of other people with my side account, but those I cited are the ones I chat with on a regular basis.

On my side account, I particularly enjoy interacting with @unearthitaly and with the italian learners' community. I don't do it that often because I'm quite busy and Tumblr is my escape from responsibility, so I don't plan to try to become a reference blog for learners of Italian, but I enjoy the thought of people learning and loving Italian ❤ It's such a difficult language and we have so many contradictions as a people, but maybe seeing all the love the learners express for the language and for our quirks makes me accept them more, even love them some times.

Immigrants, poor people, queer people of colour, disabled folks, women (especially trans women of colour) and gender-nonconforming folks, if you are in academia and you don’t feel smart enough, remember that you are in the playground and training grounds of the elite. Academia was not designed to include you. You are surviving something that has been systematically designed to exclude you in order to keep power in the hands of white, middle-class, able-bodied cis-men. Knowing this, don’t let academia train you to believe that elitism is the right way to make it through school. You can learn shit, hold the knowledge of your people in your heart, discard shame for your humble beginnings and/or marginalised identities. Move through this experience knowing that the changes it offers you don’t have to include accepting academia elitism, inaccessible language or superiority. You can simultaneously own the privilege that comes with being college educated and connections to your roots. Academia does not have to kill your spirit.
