i was bullied growing up, and had parents who emotionally abused my sister and I throughout our upbringing. having people you hold dearly to you, along with your peers, mocking you and cutting you down every day takes a hell of a toll on your adult self, for sure. I struggle with confidence and have quite the hard time remembering who I am and what i represent most of the time. i do my best to try and reframe these thoughts and doubts about myself every time i notice myself doing it, though. "the horrors persist, but SO DO I."

coming to terms with your own mediocrity

I am not the best at anything. But who am I to think I should be?

RESPECTING YOURSELF IS THE BEST FEELING

coming to terms a little bit with the fact that i rarely do anything for other people, good and bad sides. i don’t really care what other people think of me and i don’t need validation on the good side. on the bad side i usually help other people because i wouldn’t respect myself if i didn’t. it feels wrong and self interested but maybe that’s an impossible standard. who knows?

NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU AS MUCH AS YOU

this applies in multiple ways. for one there is nobody in your life who will have your best interests in mind as much as yourself. you may have amazing friends looking out for you but only you can make active decisions to improve your life in positive ways. even if you don’t feel great about yourself now, you should strive to care about yourself to the point you can make those decisions, because nobody else can make them for you. for two as much as your mind might be telling you otherwise, nobody cares about what you’re wearing or how you‘re doing things or what you think. be unapologetically yourself. if other people bring up their issues with it in a hateful way, they are just projecting their own insecurities onto you. i disagree with plenty of things people do or say but i can ultimately respect the fact they are willing to life their life the way they want. i don’t know their whole life story and i will never assume i do. for all i know, the things they have experienced in their life may have rationally led them to a completely different place than i am in now. and nobody can rightfully blame them for that.
