Advice Your Mother Shouldve Given You Pt. 2

Advice your mother should’ve given you pt. 2

Love, friendship, and connections do matter. But none of those things should come at the expense of your peace, success, happiness, well being, and dreams. No relationship that’s good for you should deplete you or cost you. Even when you’re giving you shouldn’t be losing! A relationship whether romantic, sexual, or platonic should be doing at least two of the following: feeding you, nurturing you, exciting you, enlightening you, calming you, and healing you. 

Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don't allow others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

Gentle Reminder: Please set standards for the people you want in your life. It's not selfish. It's not rude. It's imperative. You are allowed to determine who gets access to you. You are allowed to want people in your life who make you feel light and supported. You can set that standard. It's your life. Don't forget that.

Stay Positive! ❤️

And you must be cautious, because making your life better means adopting a lot of responsibility, and that takes more effort and care than living stupidly in pain and remaining arrogant, deceitful and resentful.

It’s always “why did you get in the river” and “your soaking wet” and never How was the river The river looked fun was it fun

i will no longer

button myself up

and box myself in

i exist for no one but myself

i belong to myself

i am at peace and present

i am exactly who i want to be

for me. myself.

not what makes everybody else comfortable

i hope i am so comfortable with myself

it makes you more comfortable around me

and if my energy is something you hate

i hope it makes you stay far from me
