#validateyourself

[sadiahakim]

You do not need any external validation when you know what you bring to the table. The only validation you need is within you. So, keep doing, keep moving, keep hoping.

Don’t let anybody ever make you believe that you’re not good at something you do or that you don’t deserve better. Your heart and soul that has been poured into the work knows you better.

And that’s all that really matters.

I started going to bi-monthly therapy consults a couple of months ago, to prepare for the fact that I had to move out and restart my life.

I saw someone on tiktok share what they learnt in their consults cause not everyone can economically access the help they need, but everyone should be able to use the information gained.

So, things I learnt in therapy today:

- Do you crave and need adult validation? (if you are over 18) You are an adult, validate yourself.

- You can only have the role of an observer in other people's lifes. Unless they request your help otherwise.

- (related to the concept of spoons) You only have a certain amount of psychological energy to spend in everything going on in your life (including feed and bathing yourself, also getting out of bed). If you spend 85% of it in worrying about something, you will only have 15% for everything else going on in your life

you are not going in circles.

you’re making progress in a spiral. you do come back around to where you were at the start, since recovery and healing take time, but everytime you come back around to that point you’re a little higher up because youve got more experience, more knowledge and more strength.  

you are making progress

You might be almost as cute as this raccoon. Almost.

But you know what you are? Completely validated and loved so much. Even if you don't feel like it today, or tomorrow, but you are. Even if you have to feed that love into yourself, that's the best type of love and validation you could ever receive. So keep your head up.

if you make a list of things that you love it should never take you long to get to yourself.

to anyone reading this who has ever felt like a burden or like you’re not good enough- you are beautiful and loved.

to anyone reading this who has every gel invalidated or like being yourself is hurting other people- you are valid and if someone says that you being your full true self is hurting them then they’re an asshole and don’t deserve you.

I post enough of my butt. I can be cute doing other things, dammit.
