reminders to always remember (thread):

you are here for a reason. you are so valuable & so valid, and no one can take that from you. you are so beautiful, so courageous, so talented, so incredible, so worthy. i’m so glad you’re here. thank you so much, darling, for being you! ❤️
your struggles do not define you. they do not rule you, or own you, or take away from your worth. the beauty and value inside of you is YOURS and it always will be. you do not need to be perfect to deserve love or kindness or care or protection.
allow yourself to be human. it’s okay to feel hurt and to set boundaries and to let people know when something isn’t okay. you deserve to feel safe and at peace, heard and lifted by love. there is no shame in needing to take your time either. take care of yourself, cariño.
surround yourself with good people who are good to you, people who will be honest: but out of love. surround yourself with people who want what’s best for you and love to see you succeed and soar and be happy, people who will catch you when you fall— and then hold you tightly.
do not change yourself so that others will be satisfied. they never will be, love: if they want to hate you, they will find a reason to because that’s what discontent and bitterness does. but that does not define you: it defines THEM. YOU are beautiful just as you are, baby!
validate your feelings. you are not over-dramatic or needy or wimpy for wanting to be understood or loved or heard. those who truly love you will be there to listen, and those who don’t want to don’t deserve your heart or soul or time. you are VALID! 💗
adding to this thread today:

take care of yourself. nothing is worth pushing yourself too far and causing you mental/physical pain or both. you do not need to prove anything to anyone at the cost of your own health. rest; you’ve run many miles. you can run again after you rest!
do not be over critical of yourself, whether it’s because you genuinely hate you or because you’re trying to desensitize yourself to other people’s words: you are so much better than that. you deserve so much more kindness and patience. be good, with all your heart, to YOU.
someone saying it does not make it true. YOU hold the power. you choose whether or not someone changes you, and no one else. they can’t make you into someone you aren’t. know who you are, be proud of that beautiful courageous wonderful person, and walk with your head held HIGH.
your ancestors are behind you. you carry their strength and their resilience on your shoulders. every time you doubt yourself, remember who you are and who you came from: remember the trials they faced, and in their name and for their honor and legacy, face yours with courage.
