scribbled diary

It takes years to be comfortable in your own skin. Decades. A lifetime. So feel it. Don't be ashamed of yourself. Of your body. Of your feelings. Be you. And do not give into the anxieties of life. Do not give into your insecurities. You've been through wars. Through hell and back to be where you are. So don't let anyone make you feel any less. You know who you are.

Solve the problem or leave the problem. Don't live with the problem.

not all wounds are the same. some will heal faster than others. while others will take a lifetime to heal. and then there are those we never heal from. the ones we learn how to live with. and the one we carry with us every where we go. that's life.

to avoid disappointments ; take people or situations as they are and not what they could be.

its okay to not want people around you all the time no matter how close they are to you. sometimes solitude is the only friend you need. and that doesn't mean you are anti-social or a negative person. sometimes the soul craves a quietness that is healing for both mind and body.

A productivity app won't fix your lack of focus unless you want to do it. A fitness tracker won't fix your lack of effort unless you want to do it. A self-help book won't fix your lack of action unless you want to do it. --Stop trying to fix internal problems with external solutions.

too busy loving myself that I hardly worry about whether I'm your cup of tea or not. sip on that cutie!

it's never too late. there is always time to restart, and to give it another go. to try the same thing again, or to try something new. don't ruin your chances, by convincing yourself that you have passed your time, because you can begin now, you can begin tomorrow, and whenever you do, it will be the right time, it will not be too late.

trust me..it will be all worth the struggle, the wait, the sacrifices and the hard work. just stay disciplined and loyal to yourself.

breathe! things happen. and this isn't what you planned, but it is happening anyway. so let it unfold, and try to navigate your way through it. it's okay if you struggle, because this isn't something you could have prepared for. but try. try your best, but also, be easy on yourself. you will get through this, but you must support yourself through it. do not give up on yourself, and know, that it will pass, and that you will make it out of this.

making someone feel seen, heard, understood and safe is the loudest way to love them.

you ask what I've been doing all this time as if surviving wasn't much of an effort.
