Self Respect - Tumblr Posts
I was wondering why you two began to effortlessly blend,
You both seemed to constantly go hand in hand,
It troubled me for weeks,
Was there something wrong with me
That forbade me from entering your sacred ring?
Then it all came to fruition,
An epiphany at midnight, as sweet and natural as birds first flight;
The toxic group together with incredible might,
What better way for you to wallow in self-pity,
Than to gather in small numbers and complain about how you’re living?
So I’ve decided that I won’t let it trouble me any longer,
And for that I believe I am much stronger.
I’ve been working through a labyrinth.
Large stone walls,
Shrouds of darkness,
Sharp turns and endless paths,
Sometimes the walls narrow and squeeze the air out of my lungs,
Sometimes they’re so far away that I don’t know where I’m wandering; a void...
Fears creep up on me,
Tears blur my vision,
My darkest shadows seem to bleed into every crevice,
I scream and shriek,
Paralysed by my own mind,
I run down the same paths,
Loop around myself,
Over and over I get lost,
Anxiety cripples me until
I can’t move.
But sometimes after waves of miserable failure,
I take the right turn
And I find it.
You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is healthy. You need to learn to respect and take care of yourself.

stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a fresh haircut, drink water, take care of your skin, eat food that gives you energy, declutter your space, take time to rest, workout, do mindful meditation, fix your sleep schedule. when you feel/look good, you do good. invest in yourself, put the effort you deserve.
the secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine

🌷 it is your responsibility to make sure that your future self isn't regretting how you spend today
🌷 are you really going to let your mood control what your life ends up looking like?? no. so start prioritizing logic over emotion
🌷 you have to stop making decisions based on your current life and instead start pursuing the goals and routines of your ideal self
🌷 if someone is being disrespectful, you don't have to be angry in that situation. and guess what? you don't need to be hurt either. that is a conscious choice
🌷 next time everything gets hard remember it's life preparing you for the life you prayed for
🌷 just because you are going through a bad time right now, doesn't mean you're not gonna get a great ending
🌷 beauty is subjective. no one is better looking than me, they just look different
🌷 your past has no business here, it didn't get you to where you wanted to be so why are you still focusing on it??
🌷 you can decide who you want to be any day. as soon as you wake up you can completely reinvent yourself
🌷 the reason that you are so socially anxious is because of the story that you decide to tell yourself based on the feelings that you are experiencing
🌷 being hated on is a privilege. that person is taking time out of their day to think about you rather than themselves
🌷 the harder your journey is, the stronger you will become

__________🌿PSA to Say Hello!🌿_________
No matter what, for those who come to me with or for anything you may want to talk about, ask,.
If not for any other reason, I can't stand the little blue marker Ⓜ️ messages and reacts notify with so every single message or notification I look into and often immediately if I'm available mentally. I open and read everything. I promise I will try to do my best. I know I'm a bit awkward, but you're always welcome to come say hi. I am friendly. I'm just a freak. Hearing from those who care what I post, how I post, just need a boost, a chat about semantics or nature or a deserving compliment because you've felt without lately to get through the day a little easier., we all deserve to know someone is proud of us, is listening with the intent to understand. Makes room for us to have a voice. I am proud of you for simply being you and being here with yourself today. Don't forget you have your own voice, and it's welcome here should you feel like being sociable.
[If you are coming for help but you don't feel like you can be sociable, I add to THIS: 📖 tag daily or very near daily. It's all Positivity. Growth and development. Tried and true methods, reminders, tips and tricks, boosters,. All good. All positive. All the time. Help yourself always]
I know a lot of us worry; "Well, what if I put myself out there and do that work to break through the anxiety and they don't even respond?",. Firstly.. you're worth more than the reliance of response from me or anyone else outside a consenting adult dynamic. Don't worry if you do the work and someone doesn't get that, see that effort.. sure, it's a loss, but it's not yours. They didn't click, and that's a shame. It just wasn't meant to mesh sometimes, and that doesn't mean you're worth any less than being the complete human you are, or your value is reliant on the attention others give. You can learn strength in independence, in your reliance to self. Respect you.
Please hydrate, take your medicine and maybe have a wee snack? Pretty please? Sunshine maybe? Hm? Doesn't that sound healthy?
Thanks for coming to my show! 💃
I Hope You Eventually Live The Life You Want To Live, And I Hope Nothing Haunts You For Too Long, And I Hope You're Kind To Yourself

Remember to love yourself; no matter what anyone else think of you.
Drowning in Silence
I remember the first time you told me you understood me. You looked me in the eyes with such intensity, claiming to know every hidden corner of my soul. I believed you. I believed in the strength of your words, in the comfort of your presence. But now, as I stare into those same eyes, I see nothing but a reflection of my pain. You can’t see the storm raging within me. You don’t see the frantic doggie paddling I’ve been doing for years just to keep my head above water.
I’m tired. The current is too strong, pulling me further and further into an abyss I can’t escape. While I’m here, drowning, struggling for each breath, all you can do is stand on the shore and tell me why I’m drowning. As if I don’t already know. As if the weight of my own failures and fears isn’t dragging me down. You shout explanations, reasons, critiques from a safe distance, oblivious to the fact that I’m too deep under to hear your voice.
I know why I’m drowning. I know every reason, every misstep, every wave that has crashed over me. What I needed was your help. I needed you to dive in, to swim out to me, to bring me to the surface so I could finally breathe. I hoped, I prayed that you’d be the one to rescue me. Yet again, I was let down. Instead of a lifeline, you threw me stones, adding to the burden I was already carrying.
Each time I leaned on you for support, you poked at wounds I was desperately trying to heal. Your words, your actions, they cut deeper than the sharpest knife, reopening scars and creating new ones. I realized that if I truly wanted to heal, I had no choice but to completely remove you from my life. It was a hard decision I had to make, because despite everything, a part of me still wished you could be the one to save me.
But I had to accept the truth. As I was drowning, you were adding more weight. You were the anchor dragging me down, not the buoy lifting me up. So, with a heavy heart and a resolve I didn’t know I possessed, I let you go. I stopped waiting for a rescue that would never come and started fighting for my own survival.
It wasn’t easy. There were days I thought I wouldn’t make it, that the current would finally pull me under for good. But slowly, painfully, I found my way to the surface. I learned to swim on my own, to navigate the waters of my life without you. And in the process, I discovered a strength within myself I never knew existed.
Now, as I stand on solid ground, I look back and see you still on the shore, still shouting your explanations and reasons. But I no longer need them. I no longer need you. I saved myself. And in doing so, I found the peace and freedom I had been searching for all along.
PSA:
You cannot put everyone on. You will drown trying to rescue the people who were never taught to swim.
„Du bist nicht das Problem, nur weil du das Problem ansprichst.“
your self-respect has to be higher than your feelings
Joan Didion on Self-Respect, Vogue Magazine “People with self-respect exhibit a certain toughness, a kind of a moral nerve; They display what was once called character… Character — The willingness to accept the responsibility for one’s own life.”
It’s time to respect your heart and acknowledge that your heart doesn’t respond to anything that isn’t deep or passionate and it doesn’t beat for anyone except for those who truly move it. Your heart doesn’t understand inconsistency, manipulation or deceit. It only understands love. It only recognizes what’s real.
Because no matter how strong your heart is, it eventually breaks. No matter how forgiving your heart is, it gets tired. No matter how self-sufficient your heart is, it still needs love.
Everything changes when you begin to LOVE YOURSELF. You no longer send out energy of desperation or need to be filled from the outside. You become a powerful source within yourself that attracts better. The more you love who you are, the less you seek validation and approval.
Stay Positive, Friends! ❤️
It's always a beautiful moment when you know how much worth you bring to yourself, to others, and to the world. Never let anyone tell you you're worth less than the value you know you have.
Stay Positive ❤️
