Promise you won’t face them alone

A good friend can’t fix all your problems,
but they can promise you won’t face them alone.

Whatever the world can throw at you...

You have within you right now everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.

“I’m offended”

Announcing “I’m offended” is basically telling the world you can’t control your emotions,
so everyone else should do it for you.

How to be a better (happier and healthier) human being:

Never touch anything with half your heart, be present, endlessly loving and compassionate towards others, confront any challenging situation first with a deep breath, wander, remember that your own happiness and comfort comes above all things, before reacting – understand, eat breakfast every morning, find the faces in the flowers, remember what is important to you, treat your body kindly, be honest, get to know yourself, take things at your own pace, don’t feel embarrassed to feel, laugh, cry, sing or love, remember that what’s right for someone else may not be what is right for you (and that’s OK), never be ashamed or afraid to ask for help, do what you love, remember that you always have a choice, find joy in what really is – living.

Strong women don’t play victim

Strong women don’t play victim, don’t make themselves look pitiful,
and don’t point fingers. They stand and deal.

When you’re in darkness

Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world.
Even your shadow leaves you when you’re in darkness.

What I’ve dealt with

Don’t judge me, you can’t handle half of what I’ve dealt with.
There’s a reason I do the things I do, there’s a reason I am who I am.

That’s how I’ve done it.

 

     You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about your business of living. That’s how I’ve done it.
There’s no other way.

Staying strong.

I smile and act like nothing is wrong sometimes,
it’s called dealing with shit and staying strong.
