"You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is… now." - Jay Asher, "Thirteen Reasons Why"

in the moments...
...when the negativity talks louder inside your mind than your thoughts and it gets difficult to ground yourself, you're still you.
don't hate that version of yourself. even if it feels like you're doing it to yourself on purpose. you're not a bad person.
you're a person who's struggling and that's all. give yourself as much kindness as you can and if the most that you can do is be less harsh on yourself, that's okay too.
your empathy is best used on yourself. you deserve that support too ✨
