Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it

“There will be times in life where learning to embrace slow and steady growth is one of the hardest things we will ever have to do, but when we are able to practice the courageous act entering into this space, we discover that, even here, there is room to learn something new that will prepare us for what’s to come.” Morgan Harper Nichols

This really is how it feels looking back, but I know that recovery is a slow, painful, non-linear process. It does get better ❤️
…and all of a sudden, everything was golden.

when i was a teenager it felt very revolutionary to be cruel to myself. like some kind of slow passive protest against how much everything hurt. i starved myself of sleep and food and tenderness because it felt right. it felt sharp and angry and radical and i wanted to be those things. adulthood is the realisation that the world is already working to cut into you well before you learn how to do it yourself. caring for yourself and others is the real protest
