repeat your desires over and over again even if you don't feel it, even if you don't believe it, even if the circumstances don't make sense to you, even if people tell you it makes no sense, even if it seems hard or unreasonable.

People don't clarify that even if you heal back stronger than ever, you are also always going to be different than you were before

You are probably doing so much better than you could ever realize. The progress you've made is admirable. And the reason you don't realize this is because you're holding yourself to impossible standards. You deserve the credit for what you've accomplished.

I’m actually starting to believe it really is possible to get through hard days. I’ve been through so many now. When I’m in the midst of it, I can recall the previous times I’ve felt this way, thinking it will forever be like that, but then in a week’s time, it usually fades away. So when disappointment strikes, someone speaks to me harshly, I get home from a bad date, I get rejected, I get left out, I feel behind, I don’t know what I’m doing… I’ll notice how uncomfortable I am in that moment, but I always say to myself “it won’t be so bad in a week, give it a week.” And it is in fact always better in a week. 

It's okay to explore something that you're not certain of that you'll enjoy. It's okay to try out a different clothing style, hairstyle, different interests, you name it. How can you ever know if it's not for you, if you never give yourself the chance to try it out.

self-improvement should be because you want to improve your quality of life, not because you feel or think you *need* to be better in order to be loved or allowed to live. there's no end goal with self-improvement, it's easy to dig yourself a grave when you don't realize that you're not on a ticking clock to be the 'best version of yourself'. all you need to strive to do is be the version of yourself you are the most happy with. find out what values you find important, what kind of friend do you want to be, how do you want to react to things. what are things that would improve the way you go about life? what would make life easier, better and more enjoyable for you?

Just because you don't have a "thing" to show for all your hard work, does not mean you weren't working very hard. Plenty of things like clarity, knowledge, or balance, are not tangible, but very worthwhile

It's okay to 'grieve' things that aren't just death. I've allowed myself to grieve a friendship ending, a situationship, losing something important to me, etc. It's okay to give yourself time to process the loss of something. Grief looks different for everyone, try to find a way that works for you to help make it easier for you.

i never leave when it gets hard, i leave when it gets disrespectful

being classy is an aura of being sophisticated and confident, not arrogant.

class has everything to do with self discipline and self knowledge.
