heard they’re making it easier tomorrow. not sure if it’s true, but don’t you wanna find out?

*takes your face carefully in my hands* we will be just fine

You don’t need a good reason to exist right now. You don’t need a grand purpose or anything. Just be here, have a nice laugh, and be yourself. And if there’s a day where you aren’t able to do that, you have tomorrow and all your days after that. I love you.

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.

the hardest thing is when ur going through something terrible there is an awful middle phase of it when u don’t know if u can get through it or if you’ll ever be okay again and the truth is always you will get through it and you will absolutely be okay again but u just cant see it at the time

You don’t need to be perfect or entirely healed to deserve love and care from others. Genuine growth cannot happen only in isolation: growth and awareness happen with new experiences. Relationships are meant to be mutually healing, caring, and supportive experiences. Don’t shrink back into yourself and promise that you’ll return to the world once you’re more healed or a “better” version of yourself. You deserve to be cared for, loved, and held close RIGHT NOW. Why? Because you’re a human being. You are part of a community and that is the goal of having one: loving you even when it is hard for you to love yourself.

"what if im a bad person" yeah? well what if you arent? what if you're trying your best and you're growing and you're kind? what then?

[naphaven]

You don't have to do your absolute best every single day to be loved. You don't have to exhaust 100% of your energy every day and get everything done that's on your to-do list. You're allowed to rest and have days off and do fun things to recharge. Your worth is not measured by the ammount of work you do.

[naphaven]

You're allowed to take up space and exist, with all of your needs and problems. You are not a burden, you are not annoying, especially if you depend on other people's care in some capacity, people love you and are glad you exist. Your needs are valid.

actually u r so young and have so much to live for and experience and that lil voice in your head saying ur behind in life is a liar !!! there is no ‘behind’ as life is a continuous journey. how can u be behind in something that is so magical?

[naphaven]

forgive yourself again and again and again and again and again

[naphaven]

stop believing that you ran out of time to shape yourself into who you want to be! stop believing that its ruined! stop believing you don’t have potential! you are not a fixed being! you have endless opportunities to grow.

i read something the other day that’s stuck with me.

self care shouldn’t be solely about becoming productive again.

instead it should be a reminder that you are worthy and important without productivity.

it's okay to still be bothered by things that happened a long time ago. whether it's been a week or ten years, it's okay for it to still hurt. acknowledge your pain, don't try to push it down or ignore it. let it pass through you, and one day you will be able to find peace.

i think sometimes it's really important to recognize your limits. while it's great to try and always push yourself to be better and push your limits, it's also super easy to get burnt out by doing so. recognize your limits. some days you will have the energy to push past them, and some days you won't—that's okay! it's important to find a balance between pushing yourself while also allowing yourself rest.
