hardest thing to learn during recovery is….. some of your misery is your own fault. you have to actively choose to stop wallowing in your own pain & start to recover. that means stop being self deprecating, start taking care of yourself, start eating healthy, start taking your hygiene seriously, even if it’s hard. & it is hard! but you must.

Dancing with your friends makes you feel part of something bigger than yourself, gives you a merged sense of you and them, strengthens your relationships, builds trust, and raises your pain tolerance. Source Source 2 Source 3

A reminder that sometimes, you need a little gloom in order to grow. There is so much beauty in surrendering to your lessons, dancing within them, and letting nature take its course... Nothing lasts forever, and sometimes a little rain is what you need to be reminded of how much you adore the sunshine. I hope that when you wear this you're reminded of the power you have within, to withstand and grow through any storm life throws your way. Whatever you're going through, you're growing through. I'm proud of you. This one is for my soul family...I can't wait to hug you in shirt form...enjoy! Daisies and stardust, Anastasjia Louise

‘Share tables’ help keep kids from going hungry and reduce food waste in schools across the US. When schools set up share tables in their lunchrooms, anyone can leave their unopened food and drinks on the table instead of throwing them away, other kids can stop by and take whatever they’d like, and the leftovers are usually donated to food banks or used in after-school programs.

Stop talking yourself out of opportunities because you don’t feel like you’re “ready” yet. It’s time. You’re ready now.
