It’s Crazy How Low Self-worth Fucks With Peoples Lives

It is okay to take care of your needs.

this reminder might be hard, but i need you to know that you have to be ok with people not liking you. in my mother tongue, we have a saying: “not even Jesus pleased everybody,” and the sooner you understand this, the less you’ll suffer for thinking you’re not enough. it’s impossible to be aligned with everybody.

one day you’ll yearn for the person you are now, to tell them, "hey, look, it turned out to be okay" and "i’m so grateful you’ve held on" and "things just worked out somehow". you’ll want to hold their hand and give them the wisdom that the future is actually better, and you know it because you’re living it. but you can’t reach through time like that. the only way to bridge the gap between the you of today and the you who’s doing better, is to hold onto the hope that they exist. 

Don’t forget to look around and appreciate the things that are going right as well.

You will be okay.
