Cycle of Reincarnation

[theartidote]

"I am teaching myself how to take up space. How to not apologize constantly for the way I live and breathe. How an apology isn’t something I am supposed to say before I speak in a conversation. How I’m so sorry, isn’t something I have to say before I just allow myself the basic right of speaking about anything. I am teaching myself that I am allowed to exist on this planet without thinking of myself as a burden. How to not apologize for things that are out of my control. How to understand when people are trying to manipulate me into thinking the worst of myself and most of all how to stop thinking the very worst of myself as I deserve better than that from myself. I am teaching myself that humans can exist without assuming the very worst about themselves and how the people around them perceive them. How to not apologize when someone bumps into me and I immediately assume it is my fault. How to not apologize when I ask a question because I think others will think I am stupid. How to love myself for these flawed bits of me no one has ever wanted to love before. I am teaching myself that all the lies my abusers told me about myself were so very wrong. How I am allowed to make mistakes. How as long as I apologize and amend things, anything is fixable if I still have love in my heart for the other person. How not everything that has ever gone wrong in every relationship is my fault. I am finally learning how to take up space as a human being. It’s taken a long, long road to get here. And I still have a very long way to go before I am done understanding that it is my job to take up space, that I am not just an afterthought or a secondary character in this gift of life I have been given. That who I am is not an apology, that who I am is not wrong." —@Nikita_Gill, On Learning How To Take Up Space #TodaysMantra⁣ ⁣ artwork by @c.c.russo https://www.instagram.com/p/CACnJ3AA0Ek/?igshid=pzp9tsf0tv6c

"Everyone tells you you need to love yourself but they never tell you how to do it. You know why? because they can’t give you a set of instructions that are guaranteed to work. Something as complicated as that is individual to each person; self discovery and metacognition can lead you on the path to self love. First though, you have to accept yourself. There’s no “how to” for this either, but someday it will hit you, out of the blue,“ this is me. This is who I am. I can’t change it, so I might as well learn to like it." when you can accept who you are as a person, you can love who you are as a person."

“Attracting a partner who doesn’t need to be ‘saved’ forces you to see your inherent value outside of what you can do for them. That can be difficult for someone who is used to saving others & has centered their self worth & their identity around sacrifice.” —@eboneedavis #ThingsItTakesAWhileToUnderstand ⭐️ artwork by @c.c.russo https://www.instagram.com/p/BqxCanEgtBH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=102jupkln56ft
