If you remember that life is fluid you’ll never feel stuck. Nothing is the end all or your only option. When something ends it’s your time to start something new. It doesn’t matter how often doors close if you’re always moving forward. Don’t dwell or try to open those old doors. The more you keep moving, the more you’ll see life is working in your favor. 🧡
Self care is creating a life you don't routinely have to escape from. 🧡 photo: @quavondo muse: @widnybazile
Accept the fact that you will grow apart from people you’ve had significant relationships with. Understand when someone no longer positively affects your life. Let them go. Don’t hinder your growth. 🧡
Whether it be a romantic partner, friend, or family, a person with an abusive nature will always register you standing up for yourself as an act of betrayal. Betray them. - photo: @michaelwillianphoto x @mundolilac muse: @mahanypery
You need to give yourself permission to be happy now. Not when you lost weight, not when you found your soulmate, not when you have more money. We seek excitement from future events, but once those goals are met, the temporary pleasures will pass and they will be replaced by the next fantasy. ⁣ Devote your full attention to your inner self and appreciate being in the moment. happiness is never external, but a way of living and appreciating life. It’s not reality, just the way you perceive it. So go and shift your focus from the outcome to watching yourself grow. 🧡 quote: @thefuckitdiet

Please be careful with how much you tolerate from the people around you. You are teaching them how to treat you. 🧡
