Maybe you weren’t a terrible person maybe you were just fifteen

Its okay if you're not who you thought you would be, take all the time to grieve the person you tried so hard to become when you wanted to better yourself and learn from your past mistakes. But its also okay to just love the person you are now and learn to get to know that person better. There is no shame in being who you are, even if you still have a lot to learn. You don't always have to upgrade yourself, sometimes there is peace in appreciating who you are and what you have right now.

repeat after me:

I am not the opinion of someone who doesn't even know me.

good. now say it again.

cutting someone out of your life won't always feel good.

online, people say cut them off casually. they say - you'll feel amazing and your life will be so much better, trust me.

sometimes it isn't better. sometimes the other end of that is hard, and kind-of worse. it's lonely, and angry, and sad. it's picking up the phone thinking to text them. it's not being able to listen to that album anymore, it sounds like the time you spent with them. sometimes it's slow, guilty nights.

sometimes even the worst people are lovely. they can make your whole life glitter. yes, that glitter is also shattered glass - but it does all sparkle, don't it? they filled your hours and your mind. gave you something to hold on to, even if that something was anger and hurt. without them, life can be... bland. undefined.

you can sit there, knowing - they were a magnet pulling my compass off and then still wish you had that pull back. now your compass is just spinning around on its own.

it's worth it, always. but sometimes feeling like-it's-worth-it takes months. sometimes years. you'll look back from the ever-slow progress you've made, and there will be no confetti you did it! or big-sudden sense of peace. just plodding along carefully. missing them. hating yourself for wishing it hadn't happened.

it's okay. it won't always be easy to leave.

but some future version of yourself is looking back at this moment and saying - thank you for doing it. it saved me.

it’s okay if you’re still healing from things and people that happened years ago. it’s normal to still be hurt by things that happened to you and people who left you. just because you’re still healing doesn’t mean that you haven’t healed from parts of it already. it doesn’t matter how long it takes for you to heal because everyday you get stronger, even if it’s a bad day and you feel like nothing’s getting better. you’ve made it through all of those bad days and you’re still here and stronger than ever. don’t rush your healing!! just trust that with every second that passes you’re healing more and more and that there isn’t a specific timeline of where you should be right now. you’re doing so good and you’ve come so far already. be proud of the progress you’ve made instead of looking at how far you’ve still got to go. the person that you were a year ago would be amazed at the person you are now.

the bravery of a girl who has to decide what is for dinner and then cook it and then wash dishes every day forever and ever.

That's called being an adult

no it’s called being the bravest girl on planet earth

Text ID: You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. You will always be part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we have shared at some time the same imaginings, the same madness,

I want time to be quiet. I want a week where there’s nothing expected of me. I want some light snowfall. I want a home I can rearrange the furniture with every season. To bring friends over to be warmed by the fireplace. I want to paint the walls. I want to curl into you until I feel my hurt fall asleep. I want to pluck rosemary from the windowsill. I want to feel comfort again. I want so much space in my heart for the light to fill.
