Sometimes,
Doing what is best for me
hurts other people.
But I have to do it anyways because
I am just as worthy of my love as they are.
I am just as worthy of my care as they are.
I am just as worthy of being okay as they are.
“Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.”
—Sylvia Plath
“Don’t plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it, you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me - choke those little bad days. Choke ‘em down to nothing.”
—Tom Waits
Remember:
You don’t give up.
You don’t give in.
You are stronger than that.
You are worth more than that.
You stand up.
You raise your defenses
and you fight.
You fight, until the end -
because you are worthy of the outcome.
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.”
—Paulo Coelho
Today,
I know that I am worthy of love.
“I’m choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I’m making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.”
—Elizabeth Gilbert
Remember:
Always look on the bright side of life.
The darkness can never fight off the sun.
The light will always win.
“It’s essential you create a fiery will from within, harness that power of decisiveness, and choose to be your strongest self.”
—Karen Salmansohn
Today,
I put on something a little more tight fitting than usual and looked in the mirror and said,
“This is me,
this is all I’ve got.
I have to live with it.”
Then, I walked out the door.
