Self worth
The older you get, the more you figure out who your real friends are. It’s not about who you have known the longest, it’s about who makes you feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated, respected, supported, and loved.
if you have been people pleasing for a long time, really learn to delay your reactions and responses. Take your time to check in with yourself before you say yes to anything. No one is going to die if you slow down, of you say no, if you reject or decline something.
I don’t want to be remembered for how strong I was because when you are strong it means that you have got no other options than to be strong and I want to have other options. I want to have the option to be my softest most relaxed self at all times too.
Self care sometimes looks like telling someone how you actually feel completely uncensored and not shaming yourself for it, afterwards.
