It is okay to be at a place of struggle. Struggle is just another word for growth. Even the most evolved beings find themselves in a place of struggle now and then. In fact, struggle is a sure sign to them that they are expanding; it is their indication of real and important progress. The only one who doesn’t struggle is the one who doesn’t grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as a terrific sign — and celebrate your struggle.
reminder
look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you
life is so much simpler when you stop explaining yourself to people and just do what works for you
Do not tell everyone your story. You will only end up feeling more rejected. People cannot give you what you long for in your heart.
Henri Nouwen (via onlinecounsellingcollege)
Ya really gotta listen to that gut feeling. I’m telling you it’s never wrong.
just a reminder that you’re allowed to be upset about things
even if you don’t understand why
even if the reasons are less about what’s happening now than they are about old pain or fears
even if other people have bigger reasons to be upset
even if no one can (or should have to) do anything to change the situation that upset you
even if you feel irrational for being upset
even if your own choices caused the thing that upsets you
you are entitled to feel what you actually feel. you’re responsible for your actions, yes, and for respecting boundaries and communicating appropriately without coercion – but you are allowed to be upset.
it is not inherently manipulative to be sad or angry or afraid or to tell people what you are feeling
you’re allowed.
your feelings are real and you’re allowed to acknowledge them.
It’s over!!!!!!!! Don’t text him!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s not thinking about you!!!! Go to sleep or something
