Sometimes you come to a point whre you do not like who you are, what you are doing and what you stand for. Sometimes you come to a point where you really do not know who you want to be and what you want to do with your life. And that is okay. When you find yourself at this point, struggling to figure out your values and goals, do not be too hard on yourself. You are not lost, my love. You are not failing. Sometimes it is life’s way of trying to push you in the right direction - its way of signalling you that some things no longer serve you. You are allowed to change your opinions, your values, your goals and your interests. You are allowed to recreate yourself. And sometimes this means losing your original path, before finding the path you are destined to walk.
you do things despite feeling afraid. you get out of bed when your mind aches. you ask for help when you need it and try not to stay inside all day. you try to talk yourself out of bad choices. you search for the good things and beauty that are hard to notice. you tell yourself that things will get better, despite feeling otherwise. you treat yourself gently, even though you’re never far from wanting to return to square one. you try your best despite feeling tired. you’ve come a long way from where you started. you want to heal and you’re getting there. that’s something to be proud of.
life gets better once you start doing your own thing. stop comparing yourself to others and if that means getting rid of social media than get rid of social media. it means to stop with the negative self talk, your brain is lying to you. train it to tell the beautiful truth.
it means to look ahead of you, not behind, not to the side. pay no attention to the strangers around you until you can look at them and feel peace in your heart that you are doing just fine and so are they. you do not have to compromise your self love because someone else is beautiful, successful etc. you can be beautiful too, don’t worry.
it gets easier once you start paying attention to yourself, your own happiness. your own comfort. pay no mind, speak words of kindness, and enjoy what you have.
