Your anxiety is lying to you.
Your depression is lying to you.
Your eating disorder is lying to you.
Your addiction is lying to you.
YOU. WILL. BE. OKAY.

i know that this may be hard to believe, but:
- you are not a burden
- you deserve happiness
- you deserve to be listened to
- you are so strong
- you are kind
- you are amazing
- your situation right now is not your forever
- it’s going to get better
- your best is good enough
- you are good enough
- you are beautiful
- you deserve to live your best life
- you’re working so hard
- you’ve gotten through everything that has been thrown at you so far; you can get through this too
- you are worth so much
- you are wonderful
- you can choose positivity
- your past does not define you
- your mistakes do not define you
- your grades and achievements do not define you

This is a good reminder for everyone including myself! I drew this comic when I was still dealing with finals in school, and while I don’t have exams anymore, I still might be pushing myself too hard with organizing book launches and keeping up with work and my health. 😅 So take it from me! You can and should push yourself! But don’t continuously push yourself beyond, or your health and happiness might suffer.
And if you haven’t heard the news! My book is coming out in less than 2 weeks, and I’d love it if you took a look!! ☺️There’s 30 EXCLUSIVE comics that won’t be posted online! ✨

loving yourself is not an easy thing to do. some days will be better than others while some days will be much worse. try to be kind to yourself. it takes time.
6i:
in your 20’s find a balance between hustle & rest. you don’t need to have a love life or a soulmate figured out. go travel the world. battle your demons. set up a business, find people who value your heart & yours will attract. don’t live in the past, you have so much more to see
