Sometimes, You Have To Decide, “this Is The Last Time These People Are Gonna Make Me Feel This Way”

I hope you believe that you can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you lost many years of it to grief, or darkness, depression, or a wound that wouldn't close.

you have to admit there are some joys in life that can only be felt due to hardship. a common example is steaming hot showers. it takes a cold day, or a sickness, for someone to experience the joy of a hot shower. you can’t enjoy it in the heat. then there’s the joy of a fulfilling sleep, often achieved through a tiring day. and there’s the joy of a reunion, achieved through separation. and there are many more examples. sometimes difficulty carries a special range of joys and that’s something to be thankful about.

it’s okay to have “unflattering” symptoms

it’s okay to have “embarrassing” symptoms

it’s okay to have “gross” symptoms

it’s okay to have “ugly” symptoms

it’s okay to have “inconvenient” symptoms

Sorry to break yall's hearts but this is too well written of a post to not include in here.

By the way, you’re worthy now.

Not when you’ve healed. Not even when you started your healing journey. You don’t need to be in a certain place on your healing journey.

You are worthy now, as you are. You don’t need to “earn it”.

Just say the weird thing!!! you will attract a crazy girl who wants to be your best friend.
