gentle reminder

you’re worth it, no matter what, you are worth everything to someone; they might not be in your life now, or it might be yourself and you haven’t realised it just yet, but they will be, or you will know that soon - the tough journey to that point will be worth it

communication can solve most of your problems

[goghawayclouds]

it’s okay to not be ready – don’t let anyone pressure you into doing something you don’t want to do
