I would rather feel deeply than pretend I don’t feel anything at all.
Im putting in effort every single day.
Im staying as positive as my mind allows.

Peter Plashkin
Im always going to continue forward.
Im not going to let my fear slow me down.
Im mature enough to realize releasing my emotions isnt a sign of weakness.

Bottling up those emotions would be much worse.
It would make my pain linger.
It would breed resentment.
It would make me even more miserable in the long-run.
I would much rather be open with myself about my feelings.
I would rather be in touch with my emotions.
I would rather feel deeply than pretend I dont feel anything at all.
It doesnt make me any less strong.
Im allowed to have moments where I feel like Im losing control.
Im allowed to have doubts about my past, my present, and my future.
Im allowed to fall apart sometimes.
Im never going to be embarrassed about my low points.
Im never going to feel ashamed about my whirlwind emotions.
Im never going to act like theres something wrong with me for feelingthis muchbecause my emotions are valid.
Im allowed to sob.
Im allowed to complain.
Im allowed to feel sorry for myself.
But I will never allow those feelings to linger for too long.
I will find a way to push past them.
I will find a way to raise my hopes again.
I will find a way to survive.
Im putting in as much effort as humanly possible.
Im working my ass off to better myself.
Im putting in the work.
I havent given up faith in myself.
I havent lost belief in my abilities.
I know Ive been in plenty of rough spots before and have made it out okay.
I know Ive been through worse and survived.
Im going to survive this, too.
Im going to survive every breakdown.
Im going to put them behind me.
Im going to keep going even when its hard,especiallywhen its hard.
There might be more moments when I break down right around the corner, but thats okay.
Im not giving up on myself.
Im not going to stop trying.
Im not going to quit.
