sudden urge to burst into tears. im not a toddler i just agree with their beliefs
sometimes i wish i could grab my childhood self and shake them by the shoulders and say YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES ARE MADE BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN. YOU ARE NOT DAMNED. SOMEDAY YOU WILL CRY OVER SUNSETS AND POETRY MORE THAN YOUR OWN PAIN. I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. but i can't go back in time, so i say it to myself now. because i believe there's a future version of me looking back on this moment feeling the exact same way.

Help others. Happy people are known to not only be content with their lives but to love improving the lives of others.
Love yourself. This is an important factor in how you can sustain the contentment in your life.
Try something completely new. Doing something completely new and out of your comfort zone will make you open up your mind and have a less rigid view of how confusing life is and lean more into being creative.
Enjoy failing. That's right. If you want to be content with your life, then you have to completely fail at something to learn and grow.
Hang out with people who are content with their lives.
Stock up on value for self. To eliminate the feelings of insecurity, stop focusing on what you think you do not have. And realize there's no competition in your world. You are unbelievably powerful and full of light already.
Stay independent. Sure, you may feel that your life is nothing without your partner but that does not mean that you should be overly dependent on them.
Have faith in your love as a couple. Do you think your guy was flirting with the girl at the restaurant yesterday? Maybe it happened, and perhaps it did not.
Find out why you are jealous. Statistics show that most people are jealous and insecure in their current relationships because of what they went through with their previous partners.
Never play games. Most jealous people will try to make themselves feel better by finding ways to make their partner jealous.
Identify When the Change Happened. The first step in getting back to happiness is to determine what really makes you happy in the first place.
Don’t Fake it. The next step is to not try to fake happiness. Fake it ‘til you make it is not real life. Let yourself respond authentically to each moment as it arrives, without bound to the narrative of who you think you are!
Take Responsibility If you’re unhappy, will you take responsibility for turning this around? I think taking responsibility is the most powerful attribute we can possess in life.
What’s Standing in Your Way? To discover your happiness and allow yourself to experience the full gamut of being human, you need to determine what is standing towards being your greatest self.
Be Kind to Yourself. As you carry on throughout this journey, you need to recognize the points in which you can be kind towards yourself.
In judging yourself, your life, your body, and your belongings as 'not as good as' or 'better than' (the only two verdicts in a comparison!), you limit yourself and your capability to appreciate change as life goes on. We grow as life changes. Our experiences shape us into a new person. Its beautiful ♥
- Franz Kafka, 1912
no matter where you're at in your life, there's always time for things to improve. even if you feel lost, stuck or left behind, you have the time to build a life you want. you may not get back the years you've lost, but you will have many years to live contentedly. there is more than this darkness & you have the time to see what else there is, in whatever form that is for you. simply put, life is not meant to be this hard. things will get easier, softer, brighter.
you got this.
