The Best Revenge Is None. Move On And Heal Yourself So You Don’t Become Like The People Who Traumatized

Trying to convince myself it's okay to make mistakes. Trying to pretend I believe.

▶️▶️ being "outside your comfort zone" is doing something unfamiliar and daunting while having the skills, support, and resources to get through it - safely and healthily. it helps you.

"pushing yourself past your limits" is doing something that distresses your body/mind without the skills, support, and resources you need. it puts you at risk of further illness, trauma, injury, etc. it hurts you.

and you are the only person on this planet who can decide which category something falls in. you do not need a doctor or therapist's approval in order to have limits. no amount of schooling or practice can make someone know your needs, mind, body, or life better than you.

please trust yourself. go outside your comfort zone and grow when you can, but otherwise? don't sweat it. you're a person. not a machine.

“Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.”

— Christian D. Larson

“When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to someone who leaves you. And it doesn’t mean they are bad people, it just means that their part in your story is over.”

— Tony McCollum

“I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.”
