A reminder that what you’re given in life is not always what you deserve, so if you’ve been handed a bad hand, like if you’ve struggled with poverty or been abused or mistreated or discriminated against, or have worked crappy jobs that pay less than your friends make or have an uncaring or hurtful family– please don’t internalise those things as correlating to your worth. What you’ve been given in life does not always correlate to what you deserve to have been given and remembering that can sometimes remind us of our real value.
I hope you are having a great day today and if not, that’s okay too. No bad days last forever.
if you feel that the world has forced you to make yourself hard, please know that it’s okay to be soft. you don’t need to be strong all the time. softness is brave too.
Breathe in, and know that it’s going to be ok. Yesterday, now, always and forever, things are okay. Everything comes and goes. None of it really matters. You’re here to make the most of your human experience, so just relax into your infinitely loving & safe inner being and know that you’ll be fine.
Please don’t be so hard on yourself for what you can’t do, and remember that you’re trying your best, even when your best doesn’t look like what you hoped it would be.
A reminder for when you feel utterly, crushingly hopeless: you have felt this way a million times before and you have survived it a million times, too.

Just thought I’d drop this selfie here cause I can, big hugs to all of you out there.. if you need one, I am a hugging machine. This little old lady that lives here is halfway throwing her walker into the highway and shuffling at the speed of sound at me with a cig that is flying out of her mouth just to get a hug from me, hahaha.. it ain’t no lie. She’s sweet, she hugs me so tight and smiles and tells me that she loves my hugs, what can you do?? So, I hug her like she’s MY gma - eUë
Yes, your boundaries are still necessary even with people who do nice things for you or are really nice to you. I know sometimes when someone is really kind to you or you feel like you don’t deserve the kindness you get from someone, it makes you want to violate your own boundaries out of gratitude for them or because you’re afraid it will make them treat you differently. But in the long-term, this is only more harmful. Your boundaries are not an act of unkindness and are always relevant. And people treating you with respect and kindness is the bare minimum you deserve from others. Don’t let someone’s kindness or favours or respectful treatment make you abandon your self-worth and your needs to please them.
sending love to all of you who had it rough in 2020, thank you so much for pulling through. i hope that the new year will bring more hope and light and that 2021 will be a patient and kind year to us all ♡︎.
You are not a bad person for setting your boundaries. You are not annoying for setting your boundaries. You are not “difficult” for setting your boundaries. You are brave and you know your worth.
