hi if you set a boundary or asked for help recently, no matter what the outcome was, i'm proud of you. you are very brave, even if you don't see it.

You can and will make this, btw. You'll move out, you'll grow up, you'll make your own life, you'll transition the way you want to. Right now things may seem tough or impossible, or that you're going to have to wait SOOOO long until you can do what you want. But trust me, one day you'll look back and be proud of yourself because you got that surgery, the HRT, the freedom, anything. And it's gonna be so worth it.

we’re all learning! 🌱

- working on yourself is a continuous process and it’s okay if you aren’t where you want to be just yet

Reminder to brush your teeth gently and floss today! Very important, I promise it’ll make you feel a little better.

You got this! Even if you only brush, it’s ok!

Reblog to remind someone to brush n floss!

It’s okay if you don’t have everything figured out yet. Nobody truly ever has.

Dream big. Dream so big, others would call you delusional. Believe that every step you take serves to get you closer to where you want to be. Know that where you are right now, whether you're stuck, moving slow or simply thriving, is not the end. Your journey isn't over. There's more to do, more to see, more dreams to live. Have faith everything will work out in your favour, exactly in the way you need it to. Don't give power to your fears - let your dreams define you.

gentle reminder that i really need rn- your friends are okay. that was a joke, and you do not need to worry so bad it makes you sick. nothing is wrong, nothing is going to happen, you are doing enough. you’re okay, they’re okay. be gentle to yourself, sweet thing.

I know it's not the type of thing people want to as advice when they are embarrassed of being sick, but it's really important for the people around you to see your vulnerable side. Even when it looks bad, ugly or ridiculous. Even if it makes them sad. It's important for those who are close to you to know how bad it can get so they can help. You have to show yourself and voice your needs to those willing to help, you have to be honest without being rude.

It's okay to cry, to look tired and to feel bad around others. Express how it can feel embarrassing and how hard it can be to be vulnerable. The people who should stay will stay. Those who were never going to be by your side will leave eventually, even if you never show them your vulnerabilities.

Some people with stick through thick and thin and those are worthwhile. It is okay to show them who you are without being afraid of scaring them off, because those who get easily bothered would leave anyway because they can only stick around when others make themselves uncomfortable for their own comfort, or because they need to see something of use in people, or they really are incapable of coping. It is not your job to make people comfortable when it costs your own health, don't sacrifice your own well-being for people who don't really show up for you for whatever reason they may have.

Don't be afraid of showing yourself, you can be honest and authentic and the people worth keeping around will gravitate towards you and they will stay if you just let them in. There are still people out there interested in knowing the real you, even when you are not pleasing them or adapting to their needs all the time. It's important for people to connect to you, and they can do so by seeing that you can be vulnerable and authentic, but they won't see it as a weakness. They will see as a human being that just like them is really looking for relationships that are meaningful and are just as afraid of being disappointed.

If you want people to like you for you, then show who you really are, even when it's scary. Don't let bad past relationships determine that all your future relationships will be as awful. Don't let this isolate you or make you too cynical about human connections.

if no one's told you yet today, im proud of you and i believe in you. i dont need to know you to know you're putting so much effort into this life, to know how much strength and energy that takes. you're doing the best you can, and that's enough. you got this.
