I wish I could tell everybody that...
I feel lonely and no one understands
I wish I could tell everybody that they are loved and everything is going to be 👌🏿
I hide the truth about who I am so often. I mask my feelings so to put others first. I truly believe putting other people before myself is a great thing but sometimes I would like them to see me too is all but for now it's fine :)
@WendyBird15 I feel the same way I put my fiancé first my family and I just feel like I can't be myself sometimes or I don't really take time for myself
@conscientiousBirch986 I feel like I am not always as important as everyone else so they come first in every way.
@WendyBird15 just remember you are important and you deserve the best no matter what ! But I understand we're you coming from cause I'm going through the same thing
@conscientiousBirch986 remember that you are important and deserve care too
Anything can be overcome if you believe you have the strength to overcome it. Worries, doubts, fears, they all pass one way or another. Our strength is eternal and has limitless potential. Focus on that and anything is possible. :)
@gregariousPenguin8889 good post. Helps me
@heartcrusher I am glad it could help. Never forget the strength you have within to perservere and overcome. :)
That I wish someone would listen to me in return. I've always been the ear, the understanding and patient friend. I listen to people I know talk about everything from when they're depressed to their excitement over interests I have no interest in myself. I wish someone would listen to me ramble on about my favorite, niche genre of games even though they've never heard of any of them. I have tried to talk about these things but people don't know how to be a respectful listener and stop comparing and criticizing the things I like. I just want to express my own joy and enthusiasm for once.
I'm a caring and giving person, but I wasn't put on this earth to be taken advantage of.
Being away from home and a constant support group is empowering but at the same time the hardest thing one can experience. Sometimes independence doesn't seem as great as I imagined but then again it is the most important and meaningful thing I have ever achieved.
It is easier to love and forgive, than to hate and hold a grudge.
I can't help how I feel sometimes.
@Mellietronx me too.
it's going to be okay. that everything is going to be okay. We don't need all our comforts to survive, and thus are much stronger than we even know. We're clueless to the extent of our own power. So really, don't abandon yourself. We were/are/will always enough. There's nothing to be gained in trying to be different than we are. Effort means and feels differently. I believe effort can be healthy and that if self-deprication is one result of "trying" there is something not alligned or loved within ourselves. Ultimately, acting beyond ourselves is just that - acting. It's not real, and in my experience I never even knew I was acting! Eventually, the distance away from my true character magnified this self-resistance I couldn't ignore. Addressing this self-resistance has brought my closer to my center and all these things I was trying to avoid or control happened anyway. And you know what? I was just fine, I AM fine. And that's how I know I will always be fine so long as I continue to be present and build with myself. And I know you can too, because if you're reading this - YOU love yourself. And where's there's love, there's peace! All of us on this self-love boat are going to paddle on just to better understand that there are no mistakes and we are going to be okay.
