Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts

my favorite quote:

here's to being

a little more selfish

if you do not choose

yourself, who will?

give yourself the time

that you deserve

put yourself first-

i promise you,

the world will not burn

take up space

and do not apologize

for it.

shed every skin that

doesnt fit,

even if they call

you cold-blooded

and when they try

to stop your growth,

unhinge your jaw.

go for the throat.

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it" -Henry Ford

"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies; but a great deal more to stand up to our friends" - Albus Dumbledore

"I am what I am, an' I'm not ashamed" - Rubeus Hagrid

This morning, I woke up to my spirit telling me the story of Icarus. He lived in a tower with his father in the middle of the sea. His father created two sets of wings, from wax and feather, so they may escape.

His father warned to not fly too close to the sun, for the wax will melt, but not to fly too close to the sea, for the water will weigh the wings. Of course, cocky Icarus flew too close to the sun, melted his wings and essentially fell to his death.

I suppose my message to myself was to try to stay middled and leveled. Do not get my hopes or expectations too high or I may burn myself out and fall but to also not get swept by my emotions and fears, otherwise Ill drown myself.

I hope thisll help anyone else who is struggling with expectations or fear of failure or even anxieties around their emotions/thoughts/feelings. Maybe its okay to stay neutral, as it can help you fly and soar and to not be afraid to leave your own prison of thoughts.

Even tho it seems impossible to be okay, never lose hope... recovery it
