“Back then, I wish I knew that there was nothing wrong with putting yourself first. It’s nice to help others but you have to set boundaries for yourself with how much you’re willing to help them.”

“I wish I knew early on that it isn’t selfishness. I had to learn the hard way that you can never give what you don’t have. I’ve got to love myself AND being myself to love other people with the same capacity. It isn’t selfish to replenish before you face the world again.”

“its something we all need bc at the end of the day, we only have ourselves. everyone will leave us but I can’t leave myself.”

“you have to accept and acknowledge your trauma, you have to accept that what happened hurt you and you have the right to feel hurt”

“Self love isn’t all flowers and butterflies. You have to embrace it’s thorns, acknowledge your flaws and take responsibility for your actions. Real growth happens when you face these truths, even when they hurt. Especially when they hurt.”

“That it wasn’t about just going to the mall, watching a movie, or gulping down a Monster Float without feeling guilty. It’s also about how you heal your wounds, how you embrace your scars, it’s about accepting that you’ve been hurt and mustering everything to not do it to”

“That there’s nothing wrong about taking a step back when everything starts to feel so overwhelming, it’s not about running from your responsibilities but opting to take a breath, reassess everything, and then start again.”

“It’s okay if you still doesn’t achieve anything at this point of your life. It takes time before you achieve your dreams so be patient, work hard and be smart, accept your failures, reassess your actions, and don’t forget that you also need to rest. It’s okay to cry too.”

“it’s acceptable to make mistakes with relationships as long as you grow, change and rectify it. with proper communication and boundaries set, you’ll still be able to build the best relationships with your friends and lover while working on yourself and without shutting them out.”
