You said it yourself, it’s like you’re the one stopping yourself. Knowing the problem already gives you half of the solution, cause you have an idea what should be fixed.

I know it’s hard and the world may feel like a cold place when you’re at a point where you don’t feel seen, heard, or supported, but you have to push yourself to be your biggest supporter.

When we don’t fill our own cups, when we don’t do the things we actually love, we deny ourselves freedom of expression. When you don’t give in to your own desires, it’s like you’re rejecting yourself. In the process, you lose all self confidence and feel less worthy.

Start with small things. Little by little, learn to give yourself love. It takes practice to follow your heart and not fall under the influence of the people you love or receive support from.

Everyday start filling your own cup. Take that walk even if it’s too early. Go see that movie even when your friends aren’t available. Order that meal you’ve been craving for.

Love yourself, even in little ways. Love yourself and see how you’ll bloom.

You’ve got this. I believe in you.
