i'm sure you've heard enough "Merry Christmas" wishes today, so instead, i want to tell you how proud i am of you for almost making it through another year. i'm so glad you're still here 🤍

i really don’t care anymore. i don’t care who stops talking to me. i don’t care if we not friends anymore. i know who’s down for me and who never was. i did care, i really did, but not anymore and it’s okay.

my toxic trait is that i never speak up, i just get mad and distance myself until i’m not mad anymore.

we talk a lot about cutting people off but nobody talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision, knowing it is not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being and peace of mind.

for your own sanity, let things be. you will feel easier when you don't always think about it, for your sanity let things be. don't control it, roll with it. what flows, flows. what crashes, crashes. it is what it is.

it's such a disappointment when you defend someone for so long, thinking they are different and they turn out to be just like what everyone said.

when Joy said "i don't know how to stop anxiety, maybe it's true that when you grow old you'll feel less happy." i felt that.

the greatest and unexpected betrayal was when you felt everything was genuine and then found out it wasn't.

healing involves so much random crying.

we used to be excited about growing up, but look at us now broken, lonely and tired of this world.

depression doesn’t make you “lazy”. it makes your mind and body tired, exhausted and drained from all energy.

someone asked me how am i able to be alone so much, i feel like i’ve been this way my whole life. i get around people when i feel like i want to do things or miss them. i can chill at home by myself and be completely fine for days.

i'm still hoping that at the end of the day, everything will make sense. i hope that soon, i am going to see why everything had to happen like that. i also hope that we never get tired of pursuing the life we always talk about, no matter how hard and tiring it is sometimes.

stay away from people who put you last, then call you first when they need something.

you are hurting but you are healing. you’ll look back at this moment in your life and be so proud of yourself and how far you have come. please know that this feeling won’t last and that you’ll look back and be so thankful for everything you learned about yourself.

honestly, if you know how difficult and how long it took some people to recover their peace of mind and happiness, you’ll understand why they shut all doors at any slight discovery of toxicity, and also why they can be so picky about who they allow into their lives.

do not waste your time looking back what you lost. just move on. life is not meant to be traveled backward. you must train your mind to be stronger, more stronger than your emotions or else you will lose yourself everytime.

we talk a lot about cutting people off, but nobody talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision knowing it’s not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being.

for whatever reason, you can cry. it’s okay to sit down and release your emotions thru tears. it’s okay, go cry for as much as you can. you know, it isn’t a bad thing as they say. truth is, when you feel things so much, nothing feels as good as crying.

"your trauma made u stronger". no, it made me traumatized. it made me weak, it gave me pain and it gave me feelings i've never wanted. i made myself stronger by dragging myself out of a dark place and dealing with consequences that weren’t my fault .
