Would you treat your friend like this?

If you have a really good friend, would you...

Tell her she's ugly, fat, and stupid?

Force him to hustle and grind long past the point of burnout?

Make them engage in unsafe sex?

Make her abuse drugs?

Make him binge-drink or otherwise abuse alcohol?

Tell them their goals are ridiculous?

Tell her the world would be better off without her?

Tell him that he'll never amount to anything?

Make him eat junk food, even though what he really wants is fruit?

Forbid her from eating?

Make them stay up all night, even though they were exhausted and struggling to stay awake?

Tell her she's "damaged goods" because of her sexual history?

Make him feel guilty for having, desiring, and/or enjoying sex?

Tell them that the Creator of the Universe hates them and is going to torture them for all eternity?

Tell her there's no point in going to or finishing school?

Berate him for struggling?

Tell them their sexuality or gender is wrong?

Tell her she can't do anything right?

Tell him that therapy is only for crazy people, or makes him "weak?"

Encourage them to keep seeing those toxic friends or that abusive partner?

Tell her to stay in the crappy job she has, instead of looking for a new one she might like better?

Tell him that no one loves him, or that he doesn't deserve to be loved or deserve to be happy?

Keep bringing up and berating them for mistakes they made days, weeks, months, years, or even decades ago?

Tell her she's incomplete without a partner, and encourage her to latch onto the next person, no matter how unhealthy they are?

Tell him he doesn't need to take his medications?

Make her have sex she doesn't really want to have, just to please her partner?

Tell them that everyone secretly hates them?

Of course you wouldn't! If you did, you'd be a real asshole. You'd be a terrible friend. So why treat yourself that way? Treat yourself the way you'd treat a good friend.

#treat yourself the way you'd treat a friend #self care #self compassion #be good to yourself #you owe it to yourself #be your own best friend #self love #self respect #you are enough #you are worthy #you deserve it

Learn to befriend the way your own heart beats, for when the last person in the room has walked past the door, all that you'll be left with is a silence so deep, that it is just you and the sound of your own heart beats...

Don't define your happiness by what others define it by.

I just finished my finals this last week and have less than another 7 days before my summer semester starts. I was asked by a coworker how I planned on celebrating and I responded "by doing absolutely nothing."

I spend so long grinding away for work and school - both things I'm doing for myself, but very hard on me day to day. It's been forever since I was able to "waste a day".

So today, I slept in, had a coffee for the sake of loving coffee (not waking up early), ate pizza, drank water, watched #videogame streams and played 4 hours of a long-form single person RPG I haven't played in years. It was amazing.

I'm writing this because I sometimes feel ashamed that I don't go out and do things like other people and I get the feeling you probably feel that way sometimes too.

But it's important to rest the way you need and rest in a way that helps you feel rested.

Back to the idea of the invisible audience, believe what you want to believe. Often, through the progress of social media and the internet as a whole, everyone has become inclined to worry about what everyone else thinks and believes about them as a person. Of course, it's great to want to be a good person, however this constant feeling of judgement could attract unnecessary guilt about yourself or your own judgements. Believe what you want to believe on your own terms. Disagree with someone? Perfectly fine. Disagree with many people? You do you. Your value as a person, as a human being, is not diminished in any way just because you don't believe what a crowd of other human beings believe. This world and universe is chaotic, messy, insane, and ultimately meaningless. There's no time and no value to living for other people. Live for yourself and you won't regret it. Live for others and you'll never be yourself.

man, i’m really living my best life all by myself. I never thought I would admit nor experience this but it’s okay to be your own best friend and to be in your own company and enjoy it. times where you feel lonely… try to figure out where the origin of those thoughts and feelings are coming from because you are never alone. never.

it’s usually you looking for something outside of yourself that you already have within. it’s okay to crave or want intimacy or company or etc but see if you can give yourself what you are looking for before you start searching for it elsewhere.

Dependency of outward validation comes in to play when you search outside of yourself. I have 15+ years of experience. I think I would know. It’s easier to change this before it becomes a lifestyle of not feeling as if you are not enough because you are.

Don't ever apologize for being yourself. And don't ever apologize for voicing your opinions or being passionate about anything in this fucked up, chaotic tar pit of life. Live with contentment in yourself and other people will respect you for it; never let it be vice versa. Spend time being yourself rather than someone else's dim mirror.
