🐝 7/22: Some days taking care of your mental health feels a lot like doing the bare minimum. But you can't give anything your energy until you allow yourself to recharge.

🍯 if you ever find yourself needing to choose between being palatable for others or liking yourself, choose yourself every time.

🧇 July 19th, 2020: Slow down and prioritize yourself today, your laundry list of tasks can wait until tomorrow.

🍐 7/13: Things aren’t always going to feel this heavy and overwhelming.

🍉 7/12: You don’t need to shape shift into someone more palatable for other people to consume. You simply need to be comfortable in your own skin - so that your authenticity is livable for you and not likable for anyone who doesn’t matter.

💜 6/9: This is your reminder that black lives matter.

🐣 4/25: just because you’re in quarantine and have all of this time on your hands, doesn’t mean you need to pressure yourself into doing anything right now - other than remaining safe. eat comfort food, watch your movies. all you need to do is simply exist.

⛈ 2/23: Sometimes we confuse our past traumas for our current struggles, and find ourselves carrying them like wounds instead of battle scars. This is your reminder that you are safe now. You are not in the same situation or place that happened five weeks or years ago.

🍓 1/17: Stop letting other people’s behavior dictate how you’re going to act. You can’t control what people around you do, but you can control how you give your energy to things/people that don’t serve a purpose in your life.

🖤 10/20: SOMETIMES UR SELF-CARE IS ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE ANGRY, TO CRY, TO LET SOMEONE KNOW YOU EXPECTED BETTER FROM THEM. FROM YOURSELF. SOMETIMES SELF-CARE IS BREAKING DOWN TO REBUILD AGAIN.

🍬 People are always going to critique you, but it’s how you thrive in spite of that not how you accommodate their judgement.

🍯 Do not hold yourself back to accommodate the needs of insecure people, because you will never fill their voids and only create them in yourself.

🍋 10/4: You don’t need to put your value into how other people can affirm you are worthy. You need to only put value into yourself. You decide who you are, don’t let anyone carry this power over you.

✨ 9/29: You don’t need to be anything for anyone, you only need to be enough for yourself.

🍂 September 5th, 2019: Reminder, you are not here to solely serve and cater to others. Stop allowing small minded people to mold you into smaller versions of yourself. You aren’t their clay. You deserve to be treated kindly.
