destroy the idea that you need to achieve something in order to love yourself. linking our self worth with our accomplishments and convincing ourselves we don't deserve love, compassion and patience because we aren't succeeding by capitalistic standards is so toxic.
you're allowed to value and cherish yourself even when you're failing to meet the standards you set for yourself. be kind to yourself and allow yourself relaxations. you are allowed to love yourself even when you're too exhausted to do anything. self love is not a reward.
so many of us condition ourselves to believe: im failing right now, im a loser and im absolutely worthless. i don't deserve good things. that entire thought process is wrong. if you look at the larger picture, failures as a concept doesn't even exist. it's only experience.
it's unreal to believe you'll always be doing your best. even when you're doing your best, it's unreal to believe your circumstances will always support that. life itself is so eccentric and dynamic that tuning ourselves to only reward ourselves during the good times is absurd.
absolutely NO ONE has only had good times. no one has never fucked up. no one has lived an impeccable life. and through it all, you're allowed to persevere and grow and learn and be kind to yourself. life isn't linear, it's always gonna be a sin curve.
the world has been built in a way to make you feel bad about yourself. it's not rocket science that so many of us suffer from crippling self esteem & anxiety. it's the way the world works, and we must challenge and question that.
i can say this with utmost confidence: you are allowed to love yourself. you are allowed to support yourself. you don't need to do anything other than simply exist and that's enough reason for you to acknowledge your emotions and pay attention to them.
tune yourself to be supportive of yourself. you deserve that.
