my brain is fucked up but do i truly hate it? i mean… after all, it’s just trying to protect me. it was overwhelmed by the things others have done to me when i was vulnerable. i really can’t blame my brain for this at all. there are people out there who should be held accountable for their actions. it’s not my brain’s fault that it got sick. i’m tired of attacking myself. i’m tired of attacking my illnesses and coping mechanisms. i want to accept myself and everything that i am. i want to become a healthier and better me.
Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.
Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things
No offense but literally nothing and no one is and will ever be out of your league. Nothing is too good for you. Nobody has the right to make you feel like you are not enough or less than you are, you deserve the world.
be soft
hug people you love, tell someone when you miss them, make people happy by sharing your love, never be afraid of your own feeling, love what you want to love, watch disney movies, let your heart decide for you, listen to what people have to say, do not judge, smile to the beauty of the world, buy yourself flowers, pet that puppy you see in the street (never forget to ask before ), compliment the person you want to compliment, let people love you, write love letters to yourself, let yourself be happy
i’m done crying about it, i deserve better
On the days where you wake up past noon and you can’t get out of bed, when being awake hurts, and you feel like you’re held together by threds, remember that it’s going to be okay - but it dosnt have to be today. If you all you can do is get up, wash your face, and get something to eat, then that’s okay. now is not the time to push yourself too hard, it’s not sustainable. Getting better can be a slow process, just take it one step at a time.
more things influence our mood than we think. the littlest things like not making our bed, being around certain people, seeing things that normalize bad coping mechanisms on social media, listening to a song that triggers negative emotions, checking someone who shouldn’t be in your life anymore, obsessing over thoughts that make you feel unworthy or anxious…it’s time to stay closer to things that make us feel warm and happy and removing (or distancing ourselves) from things that make us feel sad at night
a big part of being happy is being excited. be excited for everything - making a cup of tea, decorating your future apartment, seeing a friend again, falling in love unexpectedly, the next episode of a show you like, finishing something stressful, buying something you’ve been saving up for, a new album, sunsets, traveling, road trips, and the feeling of going to bed after a long day. think of something to be excited about and daydream about it often when you’re sad.
Stop stressing out over nothing
Stop being paranoid
Stop caring so much
Stop he’s trustworthy
Stop if he’d lost interest he would’ve told you
Stop worrying
Stop second guessing yourself
Stop worrying
Just stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
