1. Choosing yourself is not actually a bad thing. Prioritizing your mental health and emotional stability is a good thing.
2. You are allowed to say NO. You are allowed to refuse, to reject, or to decline anything that affects you negatively.
3. Your mixed feelings about your family is valid. Sometimes, your parents can claim that they love you sincerely but lack emotional maturity. You can love them and mixed it with guilt, anxiety, and disappointment. Again, your feelings are valid.
4. You do not owe to justify yourself all the time. You do not need to explain your thoughts and actions to anyone who is committed on misunderstanding you.
5. You are permitted to protect yourself, to need some space from the people around you. Your dissociation is valid.
6. It is okay to have bad days. You can cry, have breakdowns, self pity and loathe yourself for a little while but tomorrow will come and it will all be better soon.
7. Be proud of your small victories. No matter how "small" your achievement is, always find time to commend yourself.
8. You cannot save everyone. You need to accept that no matter how willing and determine you are to do everything for them, if they do not want to be saved, you can& #39;t do anything abt it.
9. Reevaluate your privileges. Ask yourself why you aren& #39;t triggered about the current standing of the country right now.
10. Your silent battles are valid. The way you cope with your situation matters. People do not have any right to belittle your experiences.
11. Nurture your peace of mind. Surround yourself with good people who respect your decisions and understand your emotions.
12. Life isn& #39;t a race. Slow down. Grow on your own pace. Learn on your own pace. Bloom on your own pace.
13. It& #39;s okay to pause. It& #39;s okay to feel unproductive. Failing is a visible evidence of being alive.
14. Real men can cry. Men can shed tears and have breakdowns, too. They can be vulnerable at times too. The toxic masculinity that this society had set should be removed.
15. Letting go does not necessarily mean unloving the person.
16. Seize every moment with your loved ones. Cherish them. Tell them that you love them. Do not take them for granted.
17. Your parents& #39; mistakes and shortcomings aren& #39;t yours. Do not feel obliged to take them all.
18. You are the captain of your own ship. Do whatever you want. Take a course whatever you like. Pursue a degree that you love.
19. Seek help if you ever think that you need to through any possible way you can think of. It won& #39;t automatically come if you do not ask for it.
20. In your most unlovable state, love yourself. Choose yourself. Embrace yourself.
