You Aren't Strong If You Don't Feel Pain. It's A Sign Of Weakness.

“It’s mortifying to be the one who remembers.”

— Ryan O’Connell

Choosing yourself again and again is extremely liberating. It’s hard at times. But its worthed.

“You can never articulate to others what you feel in your bones because you rarely understand it yourself.”

— Connor Franta

Whenever you are put down or broken, just go and give yourself a tight-tight, loving hug...Don’t expect anyone else to do that for you...

The world is kinder than it seems from the view of your abusive relationships.

I know it doesn't seem like it. It seems scary, and stressful, and unfair, and terrifying beyond belief. Maybe you were fed lies about what the world is like - abusers can go above and beyond to keep you depended on them, to keep you afraid. Maybe you were hurt, badly, by malice or by negligence of the masses.

But remember that the world is also large. And even if your family, school, work or hometown is cruel, there's kindness elsewhere. There are people who will listen. There are people who will believe and who will do their best to help.

You might not be ready to trust the world, to give some kindness to it, and that okay. Understandable, even. But.. I want you to remember that kindness and happiness do exist, and you'll sure as hell find yours.

i'm tired of giving others the privilege of being the light in my life. i am the moon and this is my sky and i will shine. i will shine all bright and beautiful, all by myself.

Just keep on being at it...keep on doing your shit. That's it!

I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better at bringing out the best in others than myself. That's just the kind of person I am.

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
