Trying to be the kindest soul I can be
every year the time passes and i say “wow i can’t handle the passage of time” and the time continues to pass and the cycle repeats
“stop traumadumping to your friends tell this to your therapist” my god they paywalled human connection
I need to be alone for a few hours every day, otherwise I start to spiral. but if I’m alone for too long, I also start to spiral. pretty easy, right?
“it gets easier with time” have you ever considered I want it to be easy now?
i love being up early but i love being up late. and i love getting lots of sleep. what now.
“How do I stop being scared of-” You do it scared. The courage arrives WITH the action, not before it. Don’t wait to feel confident before you act because the key to confidence is usually doing the thing while still scared as fuck
Self improvement is great but ultimately? you have to accept your self. Yes you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. Some days you won’t have the energy to do any of these things. And you’ll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. That’s a lie. The biggest love for self is to live slowly. To rest. To really rest. Have a nap. Eat what makes you feel good. Read if you want to. Embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not be ever be perfect. Accept that you are good enough. You don’t need to keep busy all the time. you don’t need to go out all the time and post on instagram. You don’t need to journal if you don’t want to. You don’t need to make art if you don’t want to. Breathe, give yourself grace and compassion. Give yourself the love and tenderness you so badly need. Be gentle with yourself. You are trying and it is good enough. You are good enough.
A beautiful poem that illustrates my point
STOP THINKING THERE IS A DEADLINE. THERE IS NO DEADLINE. TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND TAKE YOUR TIME.
life is like. keeping your heart soft, staying curious, having fun, being strong
