You lose more by chasing something that doesn't even belong to you.

compliments about your appearance are nice‚ but when somebody compliments you as a person, the way you think‚ your laugh‚ your personality‚ how genuine your heart is‚ that hits different.

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in magazines and movies. She was beautiful , for the way she thought. She was beautiful for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile even if she was upset. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful for the innocence she had. She was beautiful, deep down her soul :)

stop chasing after people & being the only one trying to fix everything. it’s mentally & physically exhausting. you have to find peace with whoever comes & goes from your life. don’t be the only one putting in effort because you will end up losing yourself trying to save everyone else

Learn to accept people for who they are and where they are — and leave them there. Rather than have more faith in the potential of who they can become; until someone actually shows you their growth, accept their actions and who they are actually showing you they are.

be careful, cause you'll never understand the damage you did to someone not until the same thing is done to you. i swear, whatever goes around eventually comes back to you

this year you probably struggled, cried, got your heart broken, dealt with depression and anxiety, been lied to, been rejected and left disappointed. BUT RIGHT NOW, you're stronger than you were yesterday. you never gave up, you just moved on like a brave soldier. and i am proud of you.

When you place your self-worth in the hands of others by deciding that you're happy or sad by the way they treat you, you become weak & powerless. If you wait for people to choose you all your life, you'll be waiting for a lifetime because nobody can take on the responsibility of your self-worth.

It's okay to be sad after letting people go because they were not loving you the way you deserve to be loved. I need you to know that it's okay for you to grieve all the choices you made, all the 'could have beens', all the things you thought would happen and the 'almosts'. We always have guilt about the road not taken and a sense of loss. But I need you to know that you are brave for choosing yourself, for choosing to let go of things that no longer make you feel alive. So the next time you feel guilty for saying no to something that would have resulted in heartbreaking situations, I hope you remind yourself that you are worthy of love and happiness. You are worthy of a life that fills your heart with joy, even if it means making difficult choices. It's okay to feel sad in the process because your emotions are valid, and healing takes time. But always remember that prioritizing your own well-being and happiness is an act of courage, self-love, and self-respect. So, keep your head up, because in time, you'll realize just how brave and wise you were to make that right decision.

success isn't the destination. success is a journey, it is the discipline and hard work you put on everyday despite having n number of fears, failures, heartbreaks, anxiety, tiredness and what not. making a mistake is okay but repeating it is definitely not.
do not procrastinate. do not fall for the 'new year resolution' traps. everyday is a new day. do not wait for tomorrow. begin it today. end this year on a good note. focus on your health, family and goals! enter 2024 with no regrets🌪️

healing is weird. some days you're okay and you're doing fine, other days it still hurts like it's fresh. it's a process with no definitive time frame. you just have to hold on to an aim in your life and keep going. and know that when it's all said and done, you're going to be okay

strange isn't it? you know yourself better than anyone else yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn't even lived a second of your life. the world is filled with people who think they know you. but they don't. don't let their words get to you

learn to gather courage & smile in difficult situations. learn how to say ok without arguing back. learn how to stay calm without losing your mind. learn how to walk away without holding grudges. self-control is the biggest strength.

you do not attract toxic people. toxic people aren't picky. they go to everyone. you letting them stay and play with your peace is the issue that needs to be worked on.
