You don’t need to be at your best for your life to have value and to be appreciated and seen.

— Clarice Lispector, from “The Stream of Life.”

“I try to be as fearless as possible. I don’t always succeed, but I like to think I try.”

— Zachary Quinto

You found yourself. Let that be the most important relationship from now on.

I have inherent worth because I am alive, because I exist, and to be alive today is enough for me to be worthy of kindness and compassion, especially from myself.

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You really will find your passion. Even if it’s not something typical, even if others don’t understand it. There’s something in the world calling to you, and when you find that joyful thing follow it! It’s so easy to tell ourselves we just don’t have a passion, but you do! It doesn’t have to be about work, or success. If it makes your heart light up, that is enough.

it's okay if you get confused easily. it's okay if you forget things easily. it's okay if you lose track during conversation easily. it's okay if you have to ask for clarification often. it's okay if you struggle to parse information or sensory unit. you're not "playing dumb" or "doing it on purpose". it's okay to be disabled, some people just refuse to be accommodating.

i hope you buy things that bring you joy. i hope you wear clothes that make you feel good. i hope you decorate your home however you like. i hope you don’t wake up dreading going to work. i hope you meet people that make your heart sing. i hope you discover hobbies that fulfill you. i hope you go on fantastic adventures that give you unforgettable memories. i hope you do things just because you want to, and i hope you don’t feel like you have to justify your decisions to anybody. i hope you find happiness. i hope you cultivate a life you love.

i just wanna be a good person. recognize my faults and grow. i don’t want to hurt anyone or hurt myself. i just wanna love and be loved.

“forgive all the versions of yourself that operated out of fear instead of growth, the ones that viewed comfort zones as safe havens and abandoned boundaries to keep other people happy, forgive all the versions of yourself that didn’t know that love begins with how you treat you.”

— iambrillyant

Recognize when you’re at your emotional limits

“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.”

— Nicholas Sparks

“I will spend more time with myself in this lifetime than anyone else. Let me learn to be the kind of person I would like to have as a friend.”

— Courage to Change: One Day at a Time (Al-Anon.)

Btw people will have all these silly rules for success/happiness and they think because u dont follow them that youre somehow doomed for a bad life. Actually im carving out my own life and path. I am an imperfect human being. I will make mistakes. And along the way i will meet with true joy, with true human connection and Love. And i will laugh so loud i won’t even remember the word sadness. Anyways.
