things you CAN’T control

💗 how others choose to react

💗 what other people think of you

💗 the exact outcome of things

💗 that change is inevitable

💗 past mistakes

things you CAN control

💗 how you react to things

all emotions are important

• don’t judge yourself if you feel stressed or sad for no reason. give yourself a break. no need to rush
• you’re not a burden. you are loved and needed here
• cry your eyes out if you want to. it’s ok
• don’t explode at your loved ones when you’re overloaded. you will hurt them a lot
• notice good things. sunny weather, funny meme, yummy food or cute message. you will learn how to find them in your life. step by step
• never hide your emotions. your close ones can feel it. they want to help, not to see you with a fake smile. or listen to your silence
• you don’t always have to figure out the “why”. sometimes it’s not that deep, and practicing acceptance and letting go brings us more peace
