Your self respect has to be greater than your desire to be loved.
Every version of you was necessary. Even the ones you’re ashamed of.
What a privilege it is to get old.
What a privilege it is to show signs of aging.
What a privilege it is to not have passed at a young age.
What a privilege it is to have smile lines, wrinkles, graying hair, healing scars, and other signs your body has lived for years.
What a privilege it is to get old.

focus on the likes and not the wants
you may not want to clean your room, but you like the peace and call it brings you after
you may not want to study, but you like the confidence and satisfaction you get from being prepared
you may not not want to apologise, but you like the relief and connection that reconciliation brings
you may not want to cook, but you like the satisfaction of eating a healthy come cooked meal prepared with love
you may not want to exercise, but you like how you feel afterwards and how it makes you confident
you may not want to journal or write, but you like the reflection and calm it brings you
you may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but you like the new experiences and growth you gain from it
