you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.

there is no audience to perform for, there is no approval, no admiration to attain. there is no role worth playing, there is no one to convince. let it go

Unfortunately, the truth is that you’ll probably always feel less loved or seen than you actually are. There are many people out there who decide against admitting their love for you or even uttering a compliment out loud, you only know about a fraction of the adoration that exists for you: there’s what you’ve been told about and there’s what you feel. But there’s also what you don’t even notice. Try to remember that however you’re feeling (lonely or invisible or unwanted) is valid and real, but it isn’t all. The world would be incredibly tiny if what you’re feeling was truly all there was.

i'm going to make a life i love even if it's not the one i expected or thought i wanted. and i am going to let myself be proud and grateful of what i do have. i am allowed to be proud of it without other people realizing the gravity of what i have accomplished in scale to my life and abilities. i do not need permission.

Please let this be your reminder for today that if you are sick or have chronic illness, a disability, or you're neurodivergent you should not compare yourself to others who don't suffer from the same issues as you do.

Comparing people in different situations as if they are both given the same chances to achieve the same results when they aren't is so detrimental. Be kind to yourself, keep things up at your own pace and don't let anyone (including yourself) make you believe you are not good enough because you have different ways of navigating through life.

You are not boring, you are not too late, you are not lazy or incapable. You have potential in you, but this needs to be brought into surface according to your own body, your mind and your needs, instead of expecting you to perform the same way as people who are don't struggle with what you do. It's an unfair comparison to begin with and it leads to nothing but more suffering. Be confident in yourself, no matter what others think and try to watch yourself when making comparisons.

You will get to where you want to be if you take it at your own pace, instead of burning out and getting sick. It is important to achieve your goals in a way that respects your body and your mind and allows you to be healthy when you finally make it.
