You Are Strong - Tumblr Posts
Very Important, please read!!
Hello, everyone! This is my friend, Yazid. @wesonga-01 He’s like family to me! He is just the kindest man I’ve ever met. He owns an orphanage in Buguri, Uganda, that homes around 52 children. He is the caretaker, teacher, and minister, and works jobs to pay the rent. I’m also taking up work right now to try and help raise funds!
The problem is, they’re really struggling to afford rent or food at all right now. Yazid’s brother passed away last night, and he is devastated. It’s been a really hard time on everyone in the orphanage from the loss.
That said, he could really use our help! You guys saved his life when he had malaria, and he could really use help right now to get through this dark period!

In case no one has told you today:
I love you
You're beautiful in every sense of the word
You can rock whatever you are doing today
You are doing so freaking well!
Now please continue being the absolute boss that you are!
So flipping true! Be kind to yourself
Recovery is possible but it's a lot less possible when you beat yourself up for what you can't do, or force yourself beyond your limits, or ignore or refuse to accept that you're struggling or you're unwell, or constantly blame yourself for your perfectly reasonable reactions to horrible life circumstances.
I know that none of those things are easy to stop doing, but you can learn to in time. It's going to be a lot harder to recover if you're not kind to yourself and understanding and accepting of your limitations.
Ok kids, repeat after me:
"My invasive thoughts are not my fault"
"The trauma I've faced is not my fault"
"The absue I've endured is not my fault"
"Even if my past haunts me, it can't hurt me anymore"
"I have survived every single bad day I've ever had,"
"And you bet your ass I'm gonna survive any more that life throws at me."
I'd like to take a moment to give a little love to kids who grew up with Passive Aggressive Parents/Guardians
A little love to the kids whose parents dumped their problems they had with each other on you instead of confronting each other.
A little love to the kids who felt they had to be the messenger, mediator, and couple's therapist for their parents because they couldn't communicate with each other.
A little love to kids who had to play guessing games to try and figure out what their parents wanted from them.
A little love to the kids who felt very lucky to be in a household where their parents rarely yelled and fought until they realized that there was always tension hanging in the air of unspoken arguments.
A little love to the kids who felt the weight of the tension on their shoulders and were anxious and stressed and sad because of it.
A little love to the kids who winced every time their parents would smile and laugh while talking about their frustrations instead of being straightforward about their feelings.
A little love to the kids who realized they internalized all these traits and saw how it hurt themselves and the people they had relationships with.
A little love to the kids who are slowly trying to work the passivity out of their system, better their confrontation skills, and communicate better because they've seen what it does to people.
You are strong and I send you my love and support.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!!
STAY STRONG GIRLS WE’VE GOT THIS I LOVE YOU DON’T LET ANYONE BRING YOU DOWN YOU ARE STRONG AND YOU CAN DO ANYTHING U SET YOUR MIND TO!!!! NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY OR DO, JUST PICK YOURSELF UP AND PROVE THEM WRONG
Just a Reminder -
Let those people you admire, appreciate, and love know that you admire, appreciate and love them.
You never know the effect it will have. Or when it have an effect. Remember, this is for them sometimes too. So if they cannot respond, it is okay. You are letting someone know that they have meaning in your life. Even if it is in a small way - it brings a light to the world that sometimes is too consumed with smattering darkness.
I am all emotional about this because I have a few friends and people I write expecting no response and I have had a few - not just one, but a FEW - people tell me today how much they appreciate it. How it made them feel. One even said it is a reminder during a hard/emotional time that they are having right NOW.
I never expect a response. I never expect anyone to say anything about it. I understand as a human being how life can feel and sometimes we just need that positive moment. I know they are busy with real life. But the fact that I somehow gave the same gift to those who have brought me joy has just made me speechless.
Don’t let opportunities pass. Small things sometimes have the greatest impact.
My thought for the day.
Somedays are harder than others, you just have to keep fighting the good fight 💪
My grandma has been battling cancer for some time now.. She made a huge decision to be put on hospice, that started Friday. It’s absolutely horrifying to know that you are now in your last days of life.. 😭💔😭
God brought you into my life at the age of 12, I haven’t always been the easiest granddaughter, consistency was challenging for me, abandonment issues caused me to withdraw myself from just about anyone. Involving myself with the wrong people which led me to live life on certain expectations cause of my own choices.
You helped with open hands, a caring heart, love you poured into every single one of us. Speaking advice into ears that needed it, being the worlds greatest grandma to us kids! Importantly, while leaving a toxic relationship my daughter gained having the best gee-gee in her life!!!!!! She adores you!!!! She feels everything so deeply so this right now is affecting her so much… 💔
I pray for peace, I pray for strength, I pray for no more pain in your life grandma!!!!!!
A PRECIOUS human my family & I LOVE dearly, is once again being ripped away from us by this evil sickness cancer! It’s not fair, watching someone so close to you slowly dying is terrifying. It makes you question everything, mixed emotions & not enough words to be said that we can say to save those we care about…
Pray for my family at this time. Cherish your time with your loved ones, hug them extra tightly for a moment. You never know what life has in store for each one of us. Embrace the love that comes to us, appreciate the people who have been there all along. Life flashes before our eyes, without a trace of hope or fear of the unknown.
My aunt told me I was strong today too. It means a lot. I myself did not feel strong, I'm still doubting myself every step I take.
But I told myself "I love you" today. I told myself "I'm proud of you" today. And for a split second I believed it. Even if it was just for this short period, it meant a lot. I talked to myself as if I were my own child. I think I talked to the little Reni in me. I feel like her ever since the diagnosis. I guess this is another chance to teach her to be brave, resilient and to never give up. I think we can do this together. ❤️
Look after your inner child. You are the only one he/she/they can count on.

I want to make a post as a form of assurance for everyone reading this, and for myself. As you all know at this point, my boyfriend and I broke up almost two months ago. I’m not gonna lie, it still hurts. Sometimes it hurts just as much as the day he broke up with me. Heartbreak is painful. It isn’t easy and there are days where you feel like it’s hard to do anything, even the things you’re passionate about. It’s hard to move on when someone you thought you could’ve loved or did love is doing okay. It’s even worse when you see them smile and act as if nothing ever happened. It is going to hurt. But you’re stronger than this. I am stronger than this. It’s okay to take time for yourself to just feel it. To give yourself time to heal. You will grow from this, and you will make it out. It doesn’t feel like it right now, god it doesn’t feel like it right now, but we’ll make it out together. We will be okay.
Where I grew up there were no wolves
But sometimes the sky opened up,
Soaking the ground til the creek beds over flowed
Fog rising through the trees
Creating that picture perfect Wattpad cover for that one werewolf story
So when you lay barren
And allow someone to soak you to the bone
Know where your creek beds are
Know that if they push too far-
You become the werewolf of your own story
You hold the pack inside you
You are the wolves
And You are strong.
tips for maintaining mental stability when it feels too much
-> don't gaslight yourself into thinking that your feelings are too much. Don't blame yourself for wanting to recharge or distant yourself as well. Whatever you feel is valid. Realize that your emotions are temporary. It is important to feel them and not suppress them but emotions are something that comes and goes. You won't feel that way after some time
-> cut off sensitive topics. Stop checking on the news if it feels too much. Mute or unfollow those who post triggering content. Tell your friends and family members that you don't want to talk about certain topics. It's okay to distant yourself not only from the news but from people/topics you find toxic.
-> rely on safe content instead. Re-read your favorite book or re-watch a show that makes you feel better. Use messengers instead of socials to contact your close ones.
-> sleep. Sleep washes off emotions and can calm you down, and recharge you.
-> invest your time in a hobby. Shift your focus a little. Hobbies that involve physical and/or sensual activity work even better. These can be painting, knitting, gardening, dancing, or singing.
-> go outside. Walk your dog or jog a little. Make your body move and breathe fresh air. Connect with your surroundings, visit your local park or forest.
-> realize what you can do at the very moment to support yourself and your close ones. Do what you can do to prepare yourself for tomorrow, step-by-step.
Take care of yourself 💖🌍

Just because someone has made a lot of mistakes in their life does not mean they will always be the one making them. Their hero could become the villain, and it isn’t right to assume that the seemingly broken are the ones that keep breaking things. Sometimes...we’re only broken because other people like to watch the pieces break.
