Treat yourself how you would treat your best friend— with compassion, empathy, encouragement and kindness

“

You’re happy, you have a pretty good life going for you but you don’t feel like you deserve it. 10 steps forward quickly feels like 20 steps backwards. No one else sees it that way but it is exhausting.

“

Strong women are outspoken, especially when others treat them poorly.

“

Women who are used to being alone are unique and mysterious creatures. 

“

Dear strong woman, I see the pain behind your smile.

“

You don’t need that help, but it’s a whole different world when you accept it.

“

You feel like you aren’t supposed to feel lonely. You feel like you’re not allowed to complain about being single because it would make you look weak and insecure and needy.

“

Sometimes, just sometimes, you’d like to take off the armor. You’d like to not have to swat away the words. You’d like to stop building from the pieces that have been smashed

“

Asking for help does not make you any less independent. It does not make you needy. It does not make you clingy.

Be your own Khaleesi – and don’t you dare wait for a khal.
