✦ life isn’t meant to be hard
✦ i wasn’t put on this earth to suffer
✦ i don’t need to push myself to the point of despair for the sake of productivity
✦ i am the kind of person who good things happen to
✦ i’m not cursed, good things can and will happen to me
✦ i am extremely lucky
✦ i am constantly receiving good news and being blessed with miracles
✦ i deserve to rest
✦ i deserve to take up space
✦ it’s okay to struggle and ask for help, other people also struggle, and they care about me and are happy to help
✦ i don’t need to apologize so much. i didn’t do anything wrong and i have nothing to feel guilty for
✦ it is possible for me to be healthy and live a happy life
✦ “i can’t accept this, i don’t deserve it” if you don’t take it, someone else will, whether they deserve it or not. if someone’s offering you an opportunity, or present, it’s because they thought you deserved it, and want you to have it, so stop being silly and take it
✦ i’m not stuck with any identities. i can always change and become and better me. maybe i’m not athletic, but i can be. maybe i’m not organized, but i can be. i’m not stuck and i can change
this post is a reminder to myself and others that we’re allowed to take up space in this world and that we deserve to be happy just because.
we don’t need to earn the good things in life by suffering and working to the point of exhaustion.
we don’t need to thank people a million times for something they chose to do for us, we don’t need to constantly apologize for being sad or needing help.
aren’t we all human? aren’t we all struggling, trying to figure life out? why is it that when it’s me who needs a little help, suddenly it’s burdening?
i think i have a hard time manifesting certain things, because i still see myself in a negative light, in many ways, and because, for a very long time, i believed i had to be humble, work hard, that suffering was something honorable.
i think this is something that comes with existing as a woman in this world, being so apologetic about everything, and it’s something i really want to let go off.
me existing in this world as someone who does no harm to others is reason enough for me to deserve to take up space and live a happy life.
