SELF LOVE
When I was struggling with my eating disorder and recovery I tore myself apart. I was so mean and unforgiving and told myself I was worthless and ugly and fat as if those things were true (or even related).
But an ongoing joke in my family is how I was the cutest kid in the world. And when we watch home videos they all laugh at me because I’m like “HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING CUTER?”
So then one day my mom gave me this. She told me I’m still the girl in the picture and I shouldn’t tell myself anything I wouldn’t tell her. And that if somehow she were able to meet me, how much she would love me and want to be just like me.
It’s honestly helped me a lot and I look at it every day. So anon who asked my most prized possession ^^^^ there yah go.
she guessed my favorite color first try..
but between me and u……. i didnt even have a favorite color until she yelled out yellow!! she was hella excited n smiling like a little kid. so i told her she was right and i havent seen yellow the same since, its in everything. i could probably live in it now.

"Get excited about the little things. About wearing a new outfit for the first time. About Sunday brunches with your best friends. About the new cute guy in your class. About finding an extra dollar in your pocket. About anything that even remotely makes you happy because as you grow up, passions fade and enthusiasm gets mistaken for foolishness. So don’t let the grey world stop you from shining."- note to self (via elauxe)

I pray that whoever reads this, that God heals whatever is hurting you.
Whatever is causing all those precious tears to fall from your eyes; whatever is breaking your heart, if it’s stress, anxiety, pain, illness, sadness, worry, the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a broken engagement, anything.
I pray that God heals all that is causing your distress and that He gives you something greater in return.
These always come at the right time…

tips for what to do after a really long cry because you’re probably feeling all kinds of exhausted and drained and i don’t want that for you in the slightest:
- take a shower and change all of your clothes even your socks and underwear. this is the first step to everything.
- pour yourself a big, cold glass of water and drink it. all of it. once you’re done, get yourself a refill. this will boost u physically and emotionally instantly please trust me.
- grab a snack, something light that you don’t have to wait to prepare. i recommend a pudding cup, a piece of fruit, yogurt, a popsicle, or some crackers.
- get under the covers. turn on something - tv, a movie, music, anything distracting. or consider calling a friend or talking to anyone nearby, even your sibling the next room over!!
- know that you are loved. you are important. you mean more than you know right now, more than you will maybe ever know. you are worth all the stars in the sky. you deserve to feel good.
