when life smacks u in the face u realize what a lil bitch u were before and puts everything into perspective. instead of whining about how rough you have it and ruminating in regret, being grateful and having self compassion wins every time
Honestly, you need to know how bad it can get for you to enjoy what you have. It’s been a tough year, and with all this pain came a lot of growth. Thank God for growth I guess. - Jack
been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says “the time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not… how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserable”. reminds me of that old Seneca quote, Something about the man who worries before necessary, suffers twice. when things already suck, i still have the option to be happy & make things better for myself. i know it sounds easier said than done but many times I’ve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience would’ve gotten me through. every Moment is an opportunity to turn things around & make myself happy. gratitude helps a lot w this. blurting This all out here coz i know it’s an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time ⭐️
hiii i have found it is so easy to spiral when thinking about the way things are or the way they went. it is easy 2 lose yrself in a stream of whatifs forever ever with no end but just for a day when i let myself live in the present the world was clearer than it had been in years! i think you should do that more. let things go and enjoy in the present. you deserve to live these r the rocks i found. remember the past, accept it, focus on what u want in the present. i love you and i love being alive
