when you’re sad or anxious or angry, remind yourself that you’ll be okay. face your fears, stop avoiding things and you might even surprise yourself. be around people who make you feel worthy. do things that make you happy. feel things strongly, cry without holding back. don’t hold on to things that are weighing you down. you’re so much better than that. you’re one of the few people in the world who will always be there for you. so be kind to yourself. treat yourself like you’d treat a friend, like how a friend would treat you. be your own friend and you’ll be okay no matter what.

when you’re lonely:

  1. hug something soft. hold it close to your body so it’s warm.
  2. lie down somewhere. learn to love the silence. learn to appreciate stillness.
  3. place your hands on the area that aches. let the warmth of your hands soothe it.
  4. check up on someone else. despite the fears of coming across as embarrassing, unwanted, or whatever other lies your mind tells you. be the friend you need.
  5. create escapes that leave you feeling less empty. music, nature, literature, art, whatever you feel like. you’re alone so you’re free to choose.
