a lot of people i know, both online and irl, have been really struggling lately, so here are a few messages that i find really helpful that may help you as well. please remember that you are so so loved and deserve to be happy. i am here if you need or want to talk.

i wear this one on a bracelet every day.
“you can’t always be strong, but you can always be brave.” - johnny
(i am not sure if he Said said this, but he put it on his cheer bracelet and it is something i remind myself of every time i look at my wrist)

another one that i like to repeat to myself on bad days is one that jaehyun has on his cheer bracelet:
“your past is not your future.”
i also like to add to this one from jaehyun’s station, and remind myself, “[you’ll] be alright, please try again.”

another small poem that i like to read on difficult days. even if all you could do was get up today, i am so so proud of you. you are so strong.
this one is a reminder i need sometimes: do not ever apologize for taking up space. you deserve to be happy, to be supported, to be loved. please do not forget that.
and here is a thread of breathing animations i like to use when my anxiety is getting the best of me.

this has been in my drafts for awhile and i never could decide on a “right time” to post it — and then i realized that there was not a “right time,” so here it is. i can just hope that it may help someone, even for a second. <3
(also i may continue adding to this every once in a while as i find things that help me and that i like.)
