Healing Is Like "Ah! I Got That Part Of Me Back! How Nice!" And Then Start Crying Because You Shouldn't

Your body is a good body because it houses you.

You will be okay.

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.

Bound to fall in love 💖

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. 

You have to stop ruining things for yourself preemptively because you believe they’ll fail anyway. Give yourself a chance to succeed.
