The holidays can be such a rough and difficult time, especially since it often means putting on a mask and pretending to be someone you are not when you are around family members. Often it's hard to be yourself around those people, trust me, I get it. This is your reminder that you never ever have to put on a mask in any scenario. You are such a good, valuable person - you have every right to show up exactly as you are, my love. Stay strong, safe and happy this season and have a merry Christmas everyone. I love you.

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

Your body deserves love when:

You are healthy and active.

You are sick and recovering.

You are feeling emotional and lost.

You feel like you are failing at getting better.

You are relapsing.

You are falling back into bad habits.

Your body is loveable and worthy in every state, my love.

In case you are full of doubts while stumbling upon this post: You are more than your bad days. You are more than your sadness. You are more than these bad thoughts telling you that you have no purpose. You are loved. You are important. You are irreplaceable. You are so damn worthy. Nothing and no one can ever take that away from you.

you don’t talk too much. you aren’t too loud. you aren’t too needy. you aren’t too sensitive. you aren’t too this, or that. you aren’t too much anything. you will never be too much: you are you, and you are allowed to take up space. you are allowed to exist however you choose.

Friendly reminder that you do not have to be on adventures and experience new things all the time. You might feel this pressure to do "cool" things every day just so you can tell other people what you did. But darling, you should live your life for yourself, not for the stories you might be able to tell. All you really need to do is be. Be in the moment. Be kind to yourself. Be there for yourself. Listen to your soul, listen to what it craves. Go on adventures and explore the world for the right reasons. Rest and recover when your body tells you to. I know that sometimes when you stand still, there can be a lot of uneasiness, because you think you have to go somewhere and do something amazing. But remember: It is absolutely okay to have days where all you do is breathe and take it easy. There is so much meaning in the slow days as well, my love.

Since summer is almost here and the hot days are coming, I want you to remember

to drink plenty of water!! you need to stay hydrated, my friend

that it is okay if you feel even worse now that the sun is coming out and everyone is outside having fun while you are inside, trying to pick yourself up - summer can be a very hard season for some of us - you got this, my love

that you can wear whatever you want to wear!! do not be ashamed of your body when you are wearing shorts, crop tops or t-shirts because your body is incredibly amazing!! it does not matter what other people think, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable

to protect yourself from the sun. your skin is so gorgeous, please take care of it!! the sun is way more dangerous than you might think

to take care of yourself and feed your body with lots and lots of fruits and vegetables!! they are super refreshing + they help you stay healthy

that I love you so much. I love you in every season but I just wanted to tell you again. I am so proud of you. thank you for still being here and thank you for still fighting this battle. you rock, darling!!

stop shaming people for being passionate about the things that they love. stop mocking people for having unusual interests. like, honestly, i'm so tired of feeling embarrassed for being "too much". if being too much means having deep interests that fill my life with romanticism and excitement, then let me be!!! i'd much rather listen to anyone ranting about their latest obsession with 16th century swords than have a boring ordinary conversation with those who shame passionate people

You are not just good enough the way you are - you are also good enough the way you feel, the way you think, the way you speak, the way you love. Every part of you matters, darling. Always remember that.

It’s okay to have limits about what you can give to others. In fact, it’s so important and necessary. Please learn your limits and respect your own boundaries.

Don’t hold the younger you to the standards you hold yourself to today. You didn’t know as much. You were in a different headspace, with different things affecting and scaring you, facing challenges that seemed big at the time. Maybe you were even lonelier. What’s important is that you know better now, and you know more now. That’s something to move forward with, not something to curse the past with.

Selfcare routines in your healing stage hit different. It's just you and your journal, your skincare and self development books, your soft music and the safety of your home. No drama, just peace. And for once in your life, the silence won't sound empty, restless, anxious, as if there's something wrong with it. The silence will sound like peace, because you will have known the war that comes before healing.

your body deserves respect in its current form, whatever that form is. it deserves love and care and softness and food and fresh air and comfortable clothing, now. not once you’ve lost 10 pounds. not once you’ve cleared your skin. not once you’ve attained whatever body goal you’ve convinced yourself will bring you body confidence and happiness. you deserve comfort, NOW.

Not every day has to bring great progress, achievements, healing or change. Some days are meant for you to rest, to take a break from all the hard work you have been doing, to be extra gentle with yourself. Some days are simply meant to honour your existence. These days are just as important, my love. They provide you with the opportunity to process all of the transformation you have been through and prepare you for everything that is yet to come. Just like the ocean you will experience strong, crashing waves one day and peaceful stillness another day - it is all about balance.

"Your emotions are here to guide you. Learn as much as you can from them, and then let them go. Don't cling to them as if your existence depends on them. It doesn't. Don't identify with them as though they define you. They don't. Instead, use your emotions to grow and remember, you are beyond emotions. How could you not be? They come and go, but you stay. Always."

— Thibaut Maurisse, Master Your Emotions (2018)

If you have experienced negative emotions or thoughts today and your day has not really improved, no matter how much you distracted your mind, I just want you to know that I am so proud of you for trying this hard. No matter what you are facing, I hope you can go to bed early tonight, have a good rest and start tomorrow with a lighter heart. The world is ready for your healing, my love. I hope you are, too.
