“By learning that anxious thoughts actually don’t need to be explored. I used to ruminate and obsess over my worst anxieties/fears, but all that did was teach my brain that it’s a valid fear by constantly worrying about it. Now when I have an anxious thought, i’m like cool bro, but you’re just a thought and you have no power over me. I’m safe. And then eventually the fear/worry/obsession goes away, because you’re teaching your brain that it’s not really a big deal after all.

edit: i just want to say thank you for the awards!! i didn’t expect my comment to blow up like this, but i’m so happy my words have been able to help so many people :).”

If relationships are two individual rocks that continuously press against each other and crack each other soon enough you won’t remember the core of yourself. Slowly you chip away at yourself to fit into someone else’s life or try to fit their image of you until you don’t recognize yourself or you are a shell of what you once was.

Remember your core and stay true to yourself.”
