when you want to say something harsh or mean to yourself, imagine saying those same words to a friend you love and care about. get into the habit of treating yourself with kindness and forgiving yourself… life will tear you down and push you in the mud every chance it gets, so there’s no point in you making its job easier. instead, lift yourself up, be kind to yourself. you’re only human, and humans need love in order to grow and thrive
