wanted to post this on it's own because i spent so much time on it...
It-Girling 101 :
you have to be confident
you are beautiful, smart, talented and so much more. there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that and being proud of that. if you don’t hype yourself up, who will? take those selfies, say your self love affirmations in the mirror, wear your cutest clothes that make you feel prettiest! you are the sh!t , don’t let anyone make you feel less than, ever
be proud of everything you do, even the “small things” because everything you achieve is an accomplishment, nothing goes unnoticed
speak up for yourself! if you don’t like something or how something is going then let it be known! don’t let anyone take your voice from you
stand strong on your beliefs and don’t let anyone sway you
you have to respect yourself
learn how to say ‘no’ to things that don’t feel right to you, even if it may hurt someone else’s feelings
prioritize your needs and wants! you deserve to be happy, comfortable and have the things you desire
set healthy boundaries and stick to them! have a mindset of, people will respect me and my limits or they won’t be in my life at all, period!
don’t just date or be friends with anyone. surround yourself with people who treat you right, who don’t call you out of your name, who are kind to you, who are gentle with you, who care about your hopes and dreams, who won’t put their hands on you, ever! people who don’t make you feel bad about yourself, people who love you unconditionally, someone who will never treat you like garbage, someone who won’t belittle you
treat your body like a temple and only be with someone romantically because you really want to and have feelings for them and not because you feel pressured to or you think you deserve less than
you have to treat yourself like a prize because you are a prize! don’t forget, the way you treat yourself is how other people will treat you. so walk with pride and make sure your standards are high always 💓
Although it is heavy, I know it will pass.
If you are burdened by a trauma that seems insurmountable, remember this: your life didn't end when it occurred. You survived, and in that survival lies a profound purpose. Embrace the healing journey, for you are still here for a reason. Seek out that purpose and let it guide you forward.
