quote from Pan’s Flute ⚜︎
“i feel like i have no purpose” You are not a fixed entity. You do not have one grand, singular, constant purpose. As long as you have genuine intent behind your actions, everything you do serves a purpose. As long as you are truly present, you notice that everything contributes to a greater whole. You do not need to dedicate yourself endlessly to one practice to achieve a purpose; allow yourself to oscillate freely between them all. Experiment. You are not one dimensional: treat yourself as such.

maybe you weren’t the one for me but deep down I wanted you to be
fat people don’t have to be attractive either to deserve basic love and respect
“fat people can be hot too” yah we’re sexy. but attractiveness shouldn’t be used as a scale to measure worth

“Poisonous relationships can alter our perception. You can spend many years thinking you’re worthless … But you’re NOT worthless. You’re unappreciated.”— Steve Maraboli
reminder that just because a day starts off rough doesn’t mean it will stay that way. this morning I didn’t think today was going to be good at all but this evening I feel so much peace and contentment and it is wonderful!!

Not many people talk about how deep emotional neglect hurts you.
I’m afraid to want things. I’m afraid to ask for help. I’m afraid to tell someone something if they seem in a bad mood. I can’t process when someone is nice to me. I can’t handle rejection, but my brain literally short circuits if someone gives me a compliment to the point where sometimes the rejection is better.
There are lots of overlap with emotional abuse, but emotional neglect hurts just as much. And it’s even worse that it usually goes undetected, so a lot of people can’t tell they’re being neglected until it’s too late.

Even if it technically “could have been worse”, you still deserved better. Please don’t forget that.
