Younger Self - Tumblr Posts
Dear Younger Self,
You are ENOUGH.
"No" is a complete sentence.
Don't water yourself down to make others more comfortable.
Ask questions and form your own opinions
"Keeping the Peace" comes at the cost of YOUR peace.
Mistakes and failure are OKAY. It's how you learn. It's how you grow.
Never ignore your intuition...it never lets you down.
Your body is perfect the way it is, it's just the WORLD that's cruel and ugly.
Wear your bikini in confidence
You're a kind soul, you will attract broken people. Don't let them break you too.
Your Mental Health should be your TOP priority
It's ok to quit! Jobs, friendships, relationships..whatever.
You have so much love to give, try giving some of that love to yourself first.
Self Care is not selfish, it's necessary.
Resting, laying down and taking a nap is not LAZY.
Slow down, you don't always have to be in such a rush. Take it easy.
You are smart, brave, kind, strong 💪, funny, honest, a great friend, daughter, sister, granddaughter, and anyone would be lucky to have you in their corner.
You are not responsible for everybody's happiness.
It's ok to cry and it's ok to show your emotions. Crying is the way you heal. Do not be ashamed that you have emotions. It's brave TO cry, not the other way around.
Your career, your job, your grades, the college you attended do not define you as a person. You are worthy without having to live your life constantly trying to prove your worth to the world. You are worthy and important and special already just as you are.
You are going to do great Things in this life. Your heart is huge, you love hard, you are creative, adventurous, goofy, determined, you have compassion for everyone and everything on this planet, you are smart, thoughtful and the right people are going to love everything about you and more.
If your life was a book, what would this chapter of your life be called? What would the first few lines of that chapter be? What about the last few lines? The ending? Here is what mine would contain:
Unanswered Prayers
First lines- Ever since she was a little girl, all she ever wanted was unconditional love. The kind of love that would move mountains and have no end.
Last lines- Finally, she came to realize, that SELF love was what she was in search of all along. Everyone that ever broke her heart, was actually guiding her right back to herself this whole time. Those heart aches and painful lessons she endured and the darkness that hung over her like a cloud for what seemed like her whole life...they, too, were magical gifts. Because in order for her to truly appreciate the light, she had to experience the darkness. She gives more of that love to herself now. Because she is hers, before anybody else's. She now knows unconditional love, the kind of love that moves mountains and has absolutely no end.

@17-gnomes-inmypockets @goodolecaptainjack and anyone else who agrees this seems like a fun idea to try
Picrew tag game!- Create yourself now vs how you looked when you were a kid

Day 4: Younger Self
I didn't really know what to do here -_-
I haven't really drawn any of my ocs's younger selfs 🙃🙃
if my younger self saw me now I dont think she would be ashamed. she would just tell me its okay and ask me if I want to make daisy chains, and I would say yes and everything would be okay. just for a second, but a second is better than nothing.
