[wholeheartedsuggestions]

whatever you can accomplish today is enough

your value is not defined by your productivity

i want to give you a list of steps to get over them. but that list doesn’t exist. so instead i’m just going to tell you you can be mad. you can break things and punch pillows and scream and go on rants. you can be sad. you can cry until your face is red and write poetry you’ll hate later and eat ice cream while watching netflix. you can miss them. you can look at old photos and fall asleep in their sweatshirt and wish they were there through the aches. you can never want to see them again. you can love them still. you can want to be alone. you can want to be anything but alone. you’re going to move on when you least expect it. it will be gradual. it will be a challenge. but whatever you need to get through it, you’ll find ways.

we will survive this, all of it. even if it’s hard and even if it’s painful, we’ll survive it. because we’re survivors.

you are not a burden for having a mental illness, for having chronic health issues, for asking for help and support, for needing to express your feelings

here’s your trophy for surviving today. i’m proud of you. i know it hasn’t been easy but you’re doing it. keep going. you got this.

do you have other tumblr blogs to suggest that are, like yours, spreading positivity (but not in a toxic way)? love your page, btw! always come here to see what you''ve posted because so many of the posts feel like warm hugs

I don’t follow a ton of other blogs, because I just don’t vibe with many but I adore @desultory-suggestions

hot take: we still deserve happiness despite our mistakes and failures

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

sure you don’t owe anyone anything, but still giving a little kindness and patience can go a long way

current life rules:

say yes to the fun but exhausting thing

do more side quests

let yourself be bored sometimes

less screen time!!

tell people you love that you appreciate them

get the hard stuff done piece by piece

don’t let embarrassment stop you from trying again and again and learning

it’s not too late, because you’re alive right now, reading this
