This is me choosing to take care of myself every single day of my life.

“

It can be extremely influential in both a positive and negative way.

Is it bitchy to be someone who won’t let other people walk all over them?

“

I love me.

Your constant reinvention of yourself is not inconsistency or flakiness, it is adaptation. It is growth. It is strength.

“

Whenever you take a selfie, you use a snapchat filter because it’s the only way you feel pretty. 

“

Putting myself first is not selfish. Looking in the mirror and recognizing my beauty is not shallow. Cutting people out of my world who don’t deserve a second of my time is not bitchy.

“

You are more than the ones who couldn’t love you with the same tenacity, who couldn’t promise forever, who couldn’t fight. You are more than a bleeding heart, letting yourself spill for people who don’t see your worth. You are more than this.

“

Because the laughter, the drive, the soul, the person you are cannot be replicated.

We spend so much time getting ready for this future, stressing over what hasn’t happened, and setting plans for what’s next that we forget to live in the moment. We forget to celebrate how far we’ve come. We forget that life isn’t always going to unfold how we want it to—but maybe that’s the most beautiful part.
