A Reminder to myself 🥰🌹

They say you are gorgeous. They say your eyes could stop a room mid-breath— and still, you look in the mirror and only see war. You see softness as something to apologize for. You trace your body like it’s evidence of failure— thighs you were taught to hide, hips that don’t fit the mold

how I pull myself out of depression FAST

When I’m depressed, I’m a different person. I don’t care about myself or my goals. I don’t want to take care of myself. I don’t find joy in anything. I reach for distractions to numb myself. I don’t see myself or my life objectively. I don’t want to do anything at all except lay in bed and rot
