the time will pass anyways. why not start now?
experiencing anger doesn’t make you a mean person. it doesn’t mean your heart isn’t still soft and you aren’t still full of love. anger is just another way to express emotions, and just as there are times to be sad and cry, and there are times to laugh and enjoy yourself, there can be times to be angry and feel upset
you are worthy of the same compassion you show for others
healing isn’t linear. a setback emotionally, physically, or mentally does not mean the progress you’ve made is ruined, nor are you a burden or failure for recovering at your own pace
releasing attachment to people, places, and objects can be difficult and sad, but sometimes it’s what you have to do to become a better you
empathize healthily. you must set boundaries on the empathy you give out; do not sacrifice your well-being to improve others’
love yourself the same way you would love someone else
the loves of your life aren’t always going to necessarily be romantic. you can have your greatest loves and your worst heartbreaks from your closest friends. romantic love does not outweigh platonic
always pursue your own happiness before anyone else’s. you are the only one who will bring yourself true joy
if something upsets you, it upsets you. you’re allowed to feel emotions. you don’t have to suppress your feelings for the sake of being the “bigger person”
love exists. it exists in you and it exists all around you. it’s not only going to be in a partner. you can be in love with anything and everything around you at all times. you are made of love
living life at your own pace isn’t a waste of time
just because your progress isn’t recognized by everyone else, doesn’t mean it’s not happening
you will always have time
you deserve a pure love. a love that makes you feel good about who you are, not ashamed of it
your time isn’t up, and your life isn’t over. there is and will always be so much more time for you, so many more chances and possibilities. don’t worry about time running out, you have plenty of it
the greatest gift you can give yourself is release. release attachment, release resentment, release pain, release grief, release negativity. allow yourself release.
