#kind notes to self

[permdaydreamer]

I refuse to believe the best years of my life are behind me. I refuse to believe the best years of my life are right now. I refuse to label my years as being the best of my entire life. Good times are always ahead. I have to believe there are always better times coming.

VALUES TO HOLD DEAR AND NEAR

Hi girls!! These are some quotes that typically ground me when I have struggles adhering to my own moral code/values. There is nothing shameful in struggling with your inner-self, the shame comes when we refuse to acknowledge it.

—————————-

KINDNESS

“Kindness is free to give, but priceless to receive”

“Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness of people”

PERSEVERANCE

“I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is to no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete undertaking.”

HONESTY

“If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.”

“If you are a person who won’t be honest unless other people can ensure that there will be no consequences for your honesty, you will never actually find the people, places, and things that you are actually compatible to. You are dooming yourself to a life of incompatibility.”

HUMILITY

“Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.”

“Humility is the first step towards learning. You can't learn until you are humble enough to realize there is something for you to learn.”

So much love,

How we get better: a decidedly nonlinear and varied process

Maybe that suffering will slough off us like a crispy sunburn, peeling away gradually in its own time, protesting a timeline faster than its own intention. But slough it will.

Maybe that suffering will cling to us until the last second it’s allowed, like a sucking leech, our humors leaking messily and causing a real scene, relief and vulnerability entwined to tease apart later. But we’ll have time and headspace to do that work.

Maybe that suffering will be ripped off us like a warm blanket on an early winter morning, snatched away by a guiding figure who knows that what we need is more important than what we want, a figure who sighs down with love at our shivering legs. That figure knows a warm future for us that our eyes are not yet mature enough to see.

We are birthed in all sorts of ways. Let us treat each other as gently as newborns.

Remember to be kind to yourself when learning a new skill. Sometimes we get frustrated with ourselves because it's not going the way we want it to.

Give yourself the grace to fail, learn and do better next time.

You'll get the hang of it eventually.

i will never regret being kind. even when they use my kindness against me, i will hold onto being kind, because its the one thing i have that they do not.

Blah blah blah “mortifying ordeal of being known” blah blah “do not perceive me” but when my friend and I went to the ceramics studio at our university he always had a hair tie for me on his wrist in case I forgot mine and I think everyone was right about small simple acts of love and kindness making life less insufferable

THINGS TO REMEMBER 🩷

Hi girls!! Here are some friendly reminders that we often forget to tell ourselves in moments of despair/worry.

1. It’s okay to fail

Failing is a part of life, and unfortunately, no matter how hard we try to fight it, is ultimately inevitable. Embrace your failures and learn from them.

2. You don’t have to be a superhero

Don’t force yourself to do things for others when you don’t want to. If your friendships and relationships are solely based on what you offer them in terms of services, that is not a relationship you want to keep.

3. Bad days will happen

It doesn’t mean that you’re experiencing a bad day that you are “cursed” or “unlucky”. Bad days are bound to happen for everyone, don’t let them affect you too profoundly. Try to find positivity in those moments of negativity.

4. You know yourself better than anyone

You should trust your gut 100000% of the time. If something feels off, it most likely is. Never feel sorry for trusting your instincts and what your body is telling you.

5. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can/can’t do

This one parallels with my previous point, but do not let anyone, and i mean anyone, tell you what you can or cannot achieve. If you want to do something, do it. If they say you can’t, prove them damn wrong.

Sending you love,

A girl unfiltered 💋

Giving kindness generously is beautiful, but remember to reserve some for yourself. 💕 You deserve every ounce of compassion you share with the world. 🌈

I bet you did the best you could today.

May you come to see that performance as the most any human could ever ask of you.

I bet you made the best choices you could with the information you have.

May you come to understand all the lessons the Universe has to teach you.

I bet you regulated your emotions with as much skill as you were taught by those who cared for you when you were young.

May you come to befriend your full spectrum of emotions and come to see them as helpful information that you engage with consciously and curiously.

I bet you cared for your body with as much love as you’ve been led to believe you deserve.

May you come to see yourself as deserving as much love as the whole Universe holds.
