how come no one talks about those days where your mental health just crashes down randomly and you start feeling ashamed of yourself because you were doing so good and now you feel like a complete failure because you can’t figure out where you went wrong.
please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future.
i love girls who are "high maintenance" like yes please continue to have standards for how you treat urself and expect to be treated
“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”

It’s not stupid. I promise. It’s not stupid to turn into your 5 year old self and get happy beyond measure for the little things. It’s not stupid to be proud of yourself for completing a load of laundry and washing the dishes. You aren’t lame for patting yourself on the back when you chose a salad over a burger. You’re taking care of yourself and each victory - no matter how small - is worth celebrating.
there is no final version of yourself. we never stop growing or changing, nor should we. stop beating yourself up for not being ‘there’ yet.
“You must be able to make a commitment to yourself. Promise yourself that, no matter what, you will give it your very best. Day in, and day out. From one second to the next. What ever they may be, your dreams are absolutely beautiful. Don’t allow for them to whither inside of you; give them your love, work, and dedication.”

WELL BITCH
do you think I wanted to be anorexic???
BUT LISTEN HERE’S THE THING
If you wouldn’t have called me fat, I wouldn’t be this insecure about myself. Maybe I wouldn’t even be anorexic.
HAVE YOU EVER LIVED WITH STRETCH MARKS?
Have you ever felt what I’ve felt when I was in the cabine, crying because all the pants won’t fit?
Have you ever felt lonely and super insecure, like you just want to die, when you chilled with your SKINNY friends?
Have you ever felt what I’ve felt? Have you ever heard what I’ve heard? Have you ever seen what I’ve seen?
NO? Then pls shut your mouth bcs you don’t know a shit about me and my problems and you all are the reason why I am what I am. You called me fat, ugly and disgusting. You said “Oh? You really want to eat this?”.
