"Sometimes," said Julia, "I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all."
– Evelyn Waugh, from Brideshead Revisited (1945)

Chat with my inner child.
You don't always have to smile or laugh politely to make others feel comfortable. Know your natural (frowny) resting face is enough - it is glorious; magnificent.
You don't always have to explain yourself when/after saying "no" to something.
You don't always have to be the one to speak to fill awkward silences or gaps in a conversation. Listen to the spaces in between the words. This is where you will find the Truth. Let the conversation unfold as it does. Observe.
You don't have to hug or kiss anyone if you just don't feel like it (that includes sexual activities as well). Your body is your body is your body. Also, you are so much more than just a body...remember that. More than a mind. You are the entire universe in one soul. Know this. Embrace this. Love and honour your mind-body-spirit(soul).
If you want/need something, ask for it, politely, and remember not everyone deserves an explanation as to why you want/need that thing. Sometimes, however (depending on who you are asking), it helps to put things into perspective.
You don't have to apologize for not answering someone's text/call etc. immediately, even if it is usually normal for you to answer quickly. If you feel that you don't want to answer, maybe you shouldn't. Be patient with yourself. Ask yourself if that person may not deserve an answer. You are the only one that needs to understand why. If someone questions your behaviour/answer/silence and you feel that you would like to explain yourself, be polite and brief in your explanation. It is not your job to please everyone at all times.
Very few people in this world can actually hear your thoughts, and even if they could, they likely wouldn't care. Most people are only very interested in themselves, and sometimes, that's a good thing.
Learned resilience is learned and learned helplessness is learned, which means both can be unlearned. Do with that what you will.
Feelings/emotions pass. Observe them and let them go. Neither positive nor negative ones serve as anything more than markers/signposts of temporary states of physiological/emotional/mental imbalance/balance. Do keep inventory of where you like/don't like to be and adjust your thoughts and actions, accordingly (easier said than done, I know, but you got this).
If you are having a particularly emotionally challenging/charged day, stop what you are doing, and do some breath work while expressing gratitude for whatever arises in that moment, however big or small.
You do not have to apologize for/explain anyone you choose to befriend or date; all the while, remember that some choices are not aligned with your highest potential and may cause you to deviate from your chosen path. Accept the consequences of every choice you make. Learn from your choices.
Cultivate healthy assertiveness. Meditate on this. It will make all of the above possible to achieve.
Ask yourself: Do you know who you are and why you are doing the work you do? Most people haven't figured it out, but this is the driving force behind exuberant, consistent confidence and grace.
Remember: True art (and relentless creativity) arises out of true vulnerability, humility, courage, fearlessness, and unadulterated love. Anything else is an imitation.
I love you, infinitely and relentlessly, as I love myself. I forgive you, completely, as I forgive myself. I know we will grow together, always. And so it is.

Remember.
Remember this moment.
Remember the bitter taste of defeat
And grow from it.

"Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time. Forgive yourself for giving away your power. Forgive yourself for past behaviors. Forgive yourself for the survival patterns and traits you picked up while enduring trauma. Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be."

Forgiving yourself takes time. But so does tearing yourself apart over things that are no longer under your control. You decide.

“Forgive me” ~Bryce Campbell
Forgive me.
Those words that came from you…
Forgive me.
I sat there replaying those words.
Forgive me.
I didn’t have the courage to say what I wanted.
But I’m going to say those words now.
Forgive me, you said…
I will never be able to forgive you.
The pain you caused.
The crazy you made me feel.
You made me question my existence.
You made me think there was something wrong with me.
When I’m the end it was you.
There was something wrong with you.
Forgive me you said…
So many times you’ve begged for my forgiveness and I’ve given it to you.
But not anymore.
You will not be forgiven.
You will not hold that power anymore.
I will not forgive you for the trauma you caused.
I will not forgive you for making me seem crazy to everyone around me.
I will not forgive you for making you look like the victim.
Because you were not.
You were not the victim of my actions.
I was the victim of yours.
And I see that now.
Forgive me…
you say…
All I can do is walk away.
Because I will never say the words “I forgive you” ever again.
You have already made a fool out of me.
and never will ever again…

god,
is it you or
is it me?
cigarette stench
lingers
the scent cemented
to my fingers
handcuffed to
bad habits
poisoned
behind convent walls
mother superior shuns
as my nose bloodies
i finally decide
it’s me
it’s me
who belongs on the other side
of the confessional wall
as you beg
my forgiveness
for leaving me all alone

“And so, onwards... along a path of wisdom, with a hearty tread, a hearty confidence.. however you may be, be your own source of experience. Throw off your discontent about your nature. Forgive yourself your own self. You have it in your power to merge everything you have lived through- false starts, errors, delusions, passions, your loves and your hopes- into your goal, with nothing left over.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
