Having low self esteem and a low sense of self worth is something a lot of people who struggle with mental health struggle with

which makes sense because a lot of mental health struggles come from trauma

and if everyone in your life is telling you shit like "you're not good enough", "you're not trying hard enough", "you're best isn't good enough" etc... you're going to start to believe it because people are constantly reinforcing that in your head

but the people who choose to not see how hard you are trying and the people who choose to not believe that your best is your best... can fuck off

if your best that day is getting out of bed, then that is absolutely good enough

it takes a long time to learn how to stop putting so much weight on what other people think of you and it takes a long time to unlearn all of these false perspectives people have been reinforcing in you your entire life

but you are worth it and you deserve to be able to feel good about yourself and to be able to feel confident in yourself and to be able to love the person you see in the mirror

it's hard work and a lot of that time, that work leaves you in tears. but remember:

every time you take a step in bettering yourself, you're one step closer to healing. also remember that bad days do not diminish progress. bad days just mean that your body and mind just need a little extra care, and giving that care to yourself is a step forward as well.

love you guys,
