you don’t have to be in a positive mindset every day. that’s not realistic. but i hope you can find more days where the sun shines a little brighter for you.
You don’t need to know everything now. You don’t need to be perfect, unbelievably wise, or entirely healed right now. All you need is to just do your best. Growth and healing will come naturally with new experiences and relationships. Don’t try to rush your healing or let this goal completely consume your life. You are not an endless project for self improvement, you are a human being who will make mistakes and have new experiences and fail and try again and love a lot and laugh super hard and be a little scared of the uncertain or discouraged and kinda sad sometimes. Let yourself flourish and live— even if it means letting go a little.
You serve no one by draining yourself of all your energy, not yourself, not your friends and family and not your job/education. It takes so much longer to recharge and get well again, than if we take care of ourselves as we go. So please recharge, rest and listen to your limits and your needs. You and your well being is important. 🌸
you’re not behind in life. you’re going at your own pace. it’s better to do things the right way with time than to rush things. don’t stress yourself out too much over a self-conceived timeline.
