Goodvibes & Quotes

[wnq-writers]

I stand before the mirror and after what seems like an eternity I pull myself away. My face is red and raw from picking. I don’t know what I hope to accomplish each night, to squeeze my imperfections out? No one can see the mess that I see. Turning each tiny spot into a bullseye target for self loathing because another night has come and gone and once again I couldn’t stop myself. I am so sorry, my beautiful body, I promise I am fighting to stop before the scars form.

Love Warrior. By Glennon Doyle

[emotional-algebra]

The sun shows up every morning, no matter how bad you’ve been the night before. It shines without judgment. It never withholds. It warms the sinners, the saints, the druggies, the cheerleaders- the saved and the heathens alike. You can hide from the sun, but it wont take you personally. It’ll never, ever punish you for hiding. You can stay in the dark for years or decades, and when you finally step outside, it’ll be there.

Glennon Doyle Melton (via emotional-algebra)

The God I decide to believe in is the God of the bathroom floor. A God of scandalously low expectations. A God who smiles down at a drunk on the floor, wasted and afraid, and says, There you are. I’ve been waiting.

Glennon Doyle, Love Warrior

Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong. You will always find it because you’ve made that your mission. Stop scouring people’s faces for evidence that you’re not good enough. You will always find it because you’ve made that your goal. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don’t negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts. Our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. No one belongs here more than you.

Brené Brown (via sweetestsecrets)

“When we choose growth over perfection, we immediately increase our shame resilience. Improvement is a far more realistic goal than perfection. Merely letting go of unattainable goals makes us less susceptible to shame. When we believe “we must be this” we ignore who or what we actually are, our capacity and our limitations. We start from the image of perfection, and of course, from perfection there is nowhere to go but down.”

[books-n-quotes]

I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m going to be who I really am. And I’m going to figure out what that is.

Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (via books-n-quotes)

[wnq-writers]

To my body, I am deeply sorry for all the things I have said to you every time I look into the mirror. Seeing only your flaws and imperfections. How my body is not as pretty and well-shaped like others. How my scars are so visible like the pain that I have inside. How I always loathe myself because all I can notice is the ugliness that I have but fail to see the radiance of beauty when I smile, when I laugh.. or even when I cry.. You deserve to be appreciated. Thank you for being my home. For 19 years, you became my cocoon. You became my shelter. You love me so much because you never failed to heal me when I have wounds. Physically or mentally… I’m so sorry for everything.. you make me wonderful. Even the crooked teeth that I have. You still make me look amazing. I will take care of you, as long as I live.
