sometimes you need to do the hard thing. study for your test even if it’s boring and you want to avoid it. get up an hour early to exercise even if you feel like death. go out of your way to help someone else even if it’s inconvenient. do something alone even though you’re afraid of being judged. go somewhere new even if it’s scary and disorientating at first. confess to the person who makes u blush even if it means risking rejection. let go of your old habits even though it feels like you can’t live without them. it’s supposed to be hard. life isn’t going to have amazing rewards if you’re always feeling comfortable.
you are growing beautifully even if you are growing slowly, even if you are struggling.
if only the despicable, hateful voice inside my head would die. it’s honestly so overwhelming living with self-hate. it’s not easy to overcome these voices. i’ve tried talking to people abt it but in the end it became worse. the voice told me how pathetic i was, what an attention seeker i was, i was the worst, etc. this is why talking to ppl can never solve the problem. at least for me, it doesnt work.
