notes to self

by sierra-scanlan

‌• you are not defined by those who refused to love you. ‌• you're still strong even on your weak days. ‌• you're beautiful, body and mind both included. ‌• it's okay to cut ties with toxic people. ‌• letting people in is hard, it takes time. ‌• forgive yourself for your mistakes. ‌• your feelings are always valid. ‌• crying can sometimes bring you back to where you need to be. ‌• hold the people who constantly check on you closest to you. ‌• love and care for yourself, don't wait for someone else to. ‌• everyone grows at their own rates. ‌• it hurt because it matters. ‌• the past tends to linger but don't let it control you. ‌• put yourself first. ‌• not everyone has the ability to understand you. ‌• you're doing a good job, try not to be so hard on yourself. ‌• don't seek out love, let it find you. ‌• your scars eventually won't cut so deep. ‌• grief is a part of a life and maybe one day it won't feel so heavy. ‌• you're worth so much more than you think you are.
