Anaïs Nin, Linotte: The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1914-1920

You will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these things make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind, to learn and grow.

MAVIS NICHOLSON: "Do you think it is possible, then, for someone to forgive themselves even when they've done something absolutely terrible?"

TONI MORRISON: "Yes. It's called grace. At some point you do. If you don't, you're in a cul-de-sac. But you have to go through the fire first. You have to experience the full fall, and the complete self-loathing, in order to come around to something like the forgiving of oneself. It's when you skip responsibility, when you use a subsititute emotion like guilt--which is of no use to anyone--but if you feel the real thing which is shame, hatred, humiliation, and self-loathing: that is the door. And if you get through that, then you can forgive yourself."

every single person you know has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes

Something which has helped me prioritize self care lately is imagining my body as a little creature that I have to take care of simply because I'm the only one around to do it. Like if someone left their guinea pig at my place without my consent that would suck, cause I did not agree to take care of it. But that doesn't mean I'd leave it to starve in its own filth. It's still a living being deserving of care! And so am I! And you too!
