I know that things can seem dismal at the moment, even hopeless. But there are still beauties in the mundane, the every day things we tend to take advantage of. While we can’t force other people to have empathy or sympathy, what we can control is our own behaviors and actions. Hold faith that one day everything will be better. Hold faith that justice will prevail. Don’t give in, don’t give up. Things always look up. Take pride in the small things and use them to get through your day to day routine. Things may be changing, but that doesn’t mean that you have to. Remember who you are and where you came from, always. And remember that we are all human, we all have families and memories and routines. Don’t let the world make you forget that. When you can’t make others be good, be the good.

As I may have said on here before, healing isn’t linear (and neither is your existence in general). Some days will be good, and others will be not so great. But rest assured - the good days always come back around.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that we’re loved and cherished when we’re not actively being told so. Object permanence can affect us in many ways, one of which is our emotions. Some need more reassurance than others, and that’s okay. But don’t let one day of loneliness make you believe that you are truly alone.

When negative self-talk comes up, think back to your child self and ask yourself if you could say those things to that child. Half of the time, the answer will be that you can’t do it. So why are you talking to your current self like that? Every version of you that has ever been and every version of you that ever will be are inside of you now. Don’t let your blinders keep you from seeing your light. We are all special in our own unique way, and we all deserve love and sympathy. That includes you.

Your peace is one of the most precious natural resources you have in your hands at any given moment. Don’t let anything keep you from maintaining your peace.

A small step in the right direction is still a step in the right direction! Never doubt the power of a small step.

We can’t all give 100% 24/7. It takes us each a different level of energy or effort in order to keep going, so it’s understandable that we will eventually have to pick up more of the slack for our loved ones. Nothing is ever truly evenly 50/50. There is always someone who is giving a little more, and that’s okay! Meet them where they are and they will do the same for you (hopefully). You are always good enough.

[reverendjules]

Your only responsibility is yourself and the way YOU respond or react to certain things. We cannot control other people into being better for us. There is no forcing the hand that does not want to caress.

Healing is not linear ❤️

“Your healing is about you. It doesn’t need a stamp of approval. Don’t worry about how long it takes or how ugly it might seem. It is about you, and your wellbeing.”

Breaking your time up into small increments can really help in times of stress or upset.

Don't feel bad if you even need to take things second by second. Whatever helps you, helps you!

And remember - healing is NOT linear, and neither is growth. We can have good and bad days without it affecting our progress. Never let a bad day stop you!

Sometimes all we need is a little breakdown to be able to start fresh.

Some people will miss the best gift they’ve ever been given, even when it’s right in front of them. That’s not necessarily a reflection on you. Blindness manifests in many ways. Not everyone is able to see your light, but that does not mean the light is not there!

[reverendjules]

You have more power than you may realize! We are made of stardust, passion, and wit. Look to the night sky to remember who you are ❤️

[reverendjules]

Any progress is a positive! Healing is not linear - we all have up and down days. But it’s your good days that really matter. Keep those at the forefront of your mind as much as possible.

Sometimes it’s okay if the only thing you can do is breathe. Take some deep breaths and rest - life will resume when you come back.
