advocating for yourself is the hardest thing ever but you literally have to.
Part of me wants to fall off the face of the earth and come back after I’m together. Another part of me refuses to hide away until I feel I deserve to see the sun. I deserve to see the sun even on my worst days.
i just read something that said "we aren't meant to address everything we find out. Just adjust your guard." I finally grasped that concept.
Little do my friends know they're healing me everytime we hangout.
no honestly. my parents are extremely liberal but didn’t play when it came to values & raising me correctly. As an adult I am so thankful that my parents taught me certain things because it’s saved me from so many unnecessary problems.
lowkey, strict parenting paid off.
You still have so many years to meet people u never knew could love u so much
🤞🏽 soon.
being told “i can tell ur happier” by ppl who’ve seen u in ur darkest moments is hands down one of the best things to hear
NEVER settle. look at this 🥹 wow
Last June I was overwhelmed with seasonal depression so I broke up w my bf bc I didn’t want to be a burden. He researched depression, helped me find a therapist, & paid for my self-care activities while I was working on myself. He fought for us when I couldn’t. This is us now 🤎
this current stage of my life wants me to pray more, work smarter and say less
my untold app wrote me the most beautiful letter and wow. just wow. this app has genuinely changed my life.
i’m in between lessons and blessings right now because nothing is a loss.

got let go from my last job a month before my birthday and said I was gonna bet everything I had on myself this summer. happy with the results still… onwards we push.
I don’t know why I’m still constantly holding on to hope that there are genuinely good (not nice or kind, but good) people in the world. I’m becoming more and more jaded each day.
This is why I can never subscribe to the narrative that “good people finish last” or “there’s no reason or benefits of being a good person” I don’t care what evil you see winning at the moment, your morals and integrity should never be compromised to want that. That’s crazy.
if you’re going to be anything, just be a kind person. one interaction or situation can genuinely be the difference between someone valuing themselves or not. do not only act on your behaivour once the damage is done because it can take people years to recover from. just be kind.
move it along by sasha keable & leon thomas is just WOWWWWWWWW.
sometimes you actually just have to shake your head and listen to 16 carriages
