hey you. are you frustrated with yourself? are you beating yourself for not coping better? for not doing things you know can help you? for being afraid, angry, or depressed? ask yourself that, honestly.
if the answer is yes, i want you to know one thing: you’re gonna be okay. it may not feel like it, but you’re doing your best. you can’t hate yourself into knowing better, and hating yourself still won’t help you with the things you do know. knowledge and awareness and willpower can only get you so far.
you’re not a computer. you’re not a textbook. you’re a living breathing being. you have feelings and beliefs, and it’s going to take some time to work through those. it’s okay to be scared. it’s okay to be frustrated. it’s okay to not be okay. no one can be good and fine all the time, and many of us can’t be so often.
so, this is your sign to meet yourself where you’re at. keep your head where your feet are. you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. you can’t force yourself to be someone you’re not, and the only way this gets better is if you accept yourself first.
so just focus on that. what you’re experiencing right now will pass. future you will figure things out. for now, just be. just be. that’s all you have to do. you exist and that’s good. you’re doing great. keep going. you’ll be surprised at what you’re capable of. ♡
