Here are three gentle reminders for you to keep in mind:
I. Your mental progress deserves to be celebrated just as much as your physical progress in this world. If you are healing old thought patterns, if you are learning how to cope in healthier ways, if you are figuring out what happiness truly means to you – that is also progress.
When you feel like you are falling behind when you feel like you have not come far, remind yourself of the ways in which you fought to be here. You have dug yourself out of the dark, you have survived all that has tried to defeat you – there is hope to be found in that kind of strength. Please don't ever forget what is within you.
II. Your looks are the least interesting thing about you. Society will try to convince you that being beautiful is a big flex, but the biggest flex is knowing yourself, is being kind to yourself. The biggest flex is learning how to be your own home, how to heal the parts of yourself no one else claps for. The biggest flex is making people feel safe within your energy, is making them feel seen and special and heard in this world.
The biggest flex is being present, being the kind of person who cares. Truly connect with how your life feels, rather than focusing deeply on what it looks like – because external beauty means nothing if you are bankrupt on the inside. Beautiful things are vanishing each day. Do not let your soul become one of them.
III. Letting go is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. But at the end of the day, keeping someone in your life who makes you question yourself, who makes you feel like you are too much, who asks for you to quiet your soul – that is the greatest injustice you will ever impact on your heart. That is doing yourself a deep disservice because you deserve to be surrounded by people who make you feel seen. You deserve to be surrounded by people who nourish you and challenge you and make you feel loved in the best way possible.
It is important to learn how to stop romanticizing the things in your life that hurt. It is important to cut those ties, even when it is hard, even when you do not want to face the loss because it is within that hardship that you will learn how to choose your own heart. That you will learn how to stand up for it and it deserves to be defended. It deserves to be protected.
