I Think Sometimes We’re Too Hard On Ourselves. We Wrinkle Our Nose At Our Reflection In The Mirror,

I think sometimes we’re too hard on ourselves. We wrinkle our nose at our reflection in the mirror, we long to look or feel a different way, we compare, scold, bully and dislike ourselves, all the time.

But we forget that we’ve been through so much. Those people might not have done. Our bodies have fought constant battles, overcome many hurdles, fallen down, got back up and continued, no matter how injured, tired or sick we’ve felt.

Those scars manifest and show in different ways, and some may not show at all. Someone else’s success is not your failure, and comparing yourself to someone or something that has not led the exact life you’ve led with your brain chemistry, body and decisions is an unfair game.

The fact you’re reading this now is an enormous triumph, and we should give ourselves more credit. You are loved, wanted, and valid. You should be proud of yourself because you are doing just fine. Even just holding on is enough. You are enough.

a love that consumes you but in a good way

literally my favourite songs from when i was in the 7th grade

songs about being in love with your best friend

babe, you look so cool

love songs but pop ish?

god is a woman aka anthems

i keep dreaming of you so i stopped sleeping

there’s no space in my heart where i don’t want to love you

my new writing playlist

im glad i didn’t die before i met you

if u loved me, why’d you leave me?

every otp ever

i’ve been trying but u don’t hear what i say

i hit u up too often, i’m sorry.

i know u wanna die, so do i, so drag me down.

SIDE A: i should have known i would miss u

SIDE B: i should have known i would mess this up.

sometimes i wonder if these songs make you think of me

getting over u

i still feel all the things i did before when u used to need it more

SIDE A:  you are my favourite ‘what if’

Growing up I was constantly invalidated/told I was wrong or bad/in trouble for the smallest things.

As a result I’m constantly apologising and afraid I’ve done something wrong.

We were young when we fell in love, I didn’t know how to love you the way you should of been, I was a storm and it destroyed you in the process, and I’m very sorry that I did. The years went by and you’re still on my mind, me that used to be a storm subsided, and I wish now I could give you the love you deserve.
