Choose yourself, not once, not twice...

Image
Please don't ever abandon  yourself again.  Especially not in the name of trying to be validated by a temporary connection.  Stop holding on to things that don't demonstrate respect for your value. Start investing in things that remind you of your worth.  You deserve so much more.  And don’t shrink yourself just to fit into spaces that were never meant to hold your light.  Stop explaining your worth to those committed to misunderstanding you. Silence can be dignity too. Choose yourself, not once, not twice, but every single time it feels uncomfortable to do so. Let go without guilt, walk away without fear, and trust that what’s truly yours will never require you to abandon who you are. Grow into someone who feels like home to their own soul. Because at the end of it all,  the longest relationship you’ll ever have is the one you build with yourself.

Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting...

"Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water.  Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.  Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still  fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day.  And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine." - Charlotte Eriksson

"Yes, I do enjoy walking at night. The world's more to my liking then, not so loud, not so fast, not so crowded, and a good deal more mysterious." ~Cornelia Funke, Inkheart

I am nothing. I'm like someone who's been thrown  into the ocean at night, floating all alone. I reach  out, but no one is there. I call out, but no one  answers. I have no connection to anything. ~Haruki Murakami

For a long time now, every meeting with another human being has been a collision. I feel too much, sense too much, am exhausted by the reverberations after even the simplest conversation. - May Sarton
