Remember,
people care about you
they think about you far more than you think they do
they see something that reminds them of you on the street or in a store and they smile because you are a great person and they love that they know you
knowing you makes them happy
knowing you might make them sad too, because sometimes people want more from you than you’re willing to give, but you shouldn’t dwell on making them upset because you are still great and you still bring more happiness to them on most days
sometimes people get sad and that’s not your fault
it is not your job to make a person feel better, and changing who you are just to make them feel better is just a false sense of loyalty that you’re showing them; and anyway, it is far more rewarding to nurture other people by being true to who you are because it is simultaneously nurturing yourself.
when you are sick, get as much affection as you possibly can and do not feel bad about it
tell someone you love them because you just do, not because you feel guilty, obligated or crave their approval
it’s not the end of the world if people don’t need you and it’s probably not the healthiest thing if they are constantly depending on you to clean their messy lives up all the time
you will never regret putting “go to the library” on your to-do list, even if you are swamped and stressed with other things to do; there is nothing quite like being among a whole world of books
don’t be embarrassed about your laugh or blowing your nose in public or even turning bright red when you do get embarrassed because there is nothing wrong with any of these things
you can be sincere or you can be manipulative, but remember that you know how it feels to be manipulated too
people ******* over all the time, but that just makes them people and you are just the same as these people because you do it too, so lighten up and see it’s not a big deal, but don’t let them walk all over you time and time again because that is just disrespectful to yourself
learn when to stay and when to walk away
you are awesome
