nothing lasts forever let that be the reason you stay even this sick twisted misery will not last - hope

if you could accept that perfection is impossible what would you stop obsessing over

how can i be so cruel to myself when i’m doing the best i can - be gentle

i thought i could accomplish my way into being happy but nothing on the outside fulfilled me in the ways it had promised

no one is qualified to decide your worth you wake up and live your life every day yours is the only opinion of you that matters

we’ve worked so hard to be here we can afford to slow down and enjoy the view

you have everything to gain from believing in yourself yet you spend all your time with self-doubt

i stopped resisting the unpleasant feelings and accepted that happiness has nothing to do with feeling good all the time - balance

it’s easy to love the nice things about ourselves but true self-love is embracing the difficult parts that live in all of us - acceptance
